website {crush} : hello sandwich

if you're like me and have been yearning to move to japan, look no further than hello sandwich. written by the talented ebony bizys, the blog is not only information about tokyo, but an account of daily life through the eyes of a designer. love the things that she finds visually interesting!

not only does she catalogue her finds on her blog, but created a cute zine entitled tokyo guide for those who want to learn a bit more about well... tokyo! you can get it in her shop + it looks like she'll be coming out with a second zine about gift wrapping. both a must!

i want : breakfast nook

{01} beach/vintage {02} monochromatic {03} warm/cozy {04} colorful {05} colonial/modern

i love eating and lately have been really starting to enjoy cooking too! but out of all the different meals one could eat during a day, i really enjoy breakfast. american, japanese, french... you name it, i'll probably like whatever it is that is being served. it doesn't have to be anything extravagant, but something to soothe the soul and get you ready for the day.

with this comes my recent obsession of wanting a little breakfast nook. a little corner or side area in the kitchen where the morning sun comes through a window overlooking the garden. a place to gather your thoughts, nourish the mind and get ready for the day ahead.

doesn't it sound lovely?

i {heart} work : mini miniature mouse

the colors. the attention to detail. the world of mini miniature mouse by fumi mini nakamura, gives me an experience like that of the chronicles of narnia: the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. haunting, intriguing, curious, and delicate. i feel like some magical imagination being awakened looking at her work.

shopaholic : austin press for anthropology

on a recent excursion to do some returns, i dropped by an anthropologie store just to peek in and see their display designs to get some inspiration. of course, i can never just 'peek' into any anthropologie store as i always find something i want. it's a proven fact. it's impossible.

so i ended up picking up a little inspiration to take home with me. found these letterpress thank you cards by austin press for anthropologie. the scalloped edges and detailed envelope just tickles my fancy!

anthology mag + me = happiness.

after much anticipation, i received my very beautiful copy of anthology magazine in the mail. to commemorate this wonderful meeting, i decided to make a little video about my new crush.
