Design Finds

From top left, row by row: silver nails/rings photo by Jak & Jil {via Phosphene Fashion}; ice waves photo by Douglas Goodin; tree branch coat hanger, $245 at cantileverandpress; “Reflection” artwork by Ingrid Siliakus, $65, at Upon a Fold; skull necklaces & cuff by Pamela Love at Bona Drag.

Hope you had a great weekend/Monday! I had jury duty yesterday, but I didn’t get picked and essentially got $25 to play Tetris and read Studs Terkel. My aunt’s visiting this evening from Arizona, so I’ll post more tomorrow; for now, here are some fantasy-worthy design finds.

Colorful Design Picks

Some rainbow design finds for Monday:

  • Bead cocktail ring, another great D.I.Y. project from Dismount Creative.
  • Hair/style inspiration from an older Noa Noa advertisement {via Have Degree, Will Travel}.
  • Striking art idea from The House That Lars Built. Here are how to make the flowers and how to create the silhouette portrait.
  • Genius rainbow fruit skewers, part of a recipe for Double Rainbow pancakes.
  • Pink accordion cloche, $450.00, Hats by Behida Dolić {via Happiness Is…}.
  • Colorful embroidery by Maricor/Maricar {via Mimi + Meg}.
  • eeBoo has a wonderful series of notebooks inspired by Winsor McCay’s Little Nemo in Slumberland.
  • Alexa Chung looks great in Erdem’s SS2011 Margot dress (originally $3,360, now sold out). Larger picture here.
  • Asos has this v. Jil Sander midi length skirt for $62.76. The blue is already sold out because I waited too long to post (sigh), but keep an eye out for similar items.

Hope you had a great weekend!

Design Picks

Finally Wists is back up! That was scary. Clockwise from top left:

  • Isabella 8×10 print, $20.00, from Peggy Wolf Design {via Oh Joy!}. I love this.
  • Teacup lights by Greg Bonasera. Here are two tutorials, one for a teacup chandelier, the other for a teacup lamp, to help you make your own.
  • Dismount Creative has instructions for these business card holders. So chic!
  • Ridiculous strawberry nails {via Winkeland}. I’m positive this video is the tutorial used to create them.
  • Antique metal trays make very chi-chi magnetic boards {image via pinterest}.

PopBetty - Design Finds

Hope you had a great weekend! Here are some bright visual picks for Monday morning (from top left):

Row 1

  • Lost & Taken has a gallery of free hi-res texture templates, for use in commercial & personal projects {via How About Orange}. Gorgeous & generous.
  • I like this Palmograph Fortune Chart, $20 at AllPosters.com {via Old Sweet Song}. Regardless of how you feel about palmistry, it’s a conversation starter (and lovely to boot).

Row 2

  • A photo of Mia Wasikowska killing it in Alexander McQueen FW11, from a recent photoshoot for W magazine {photo by Jean-Baptiste Mondino}. The masked man is Michael Fassbender, aka my boyfriend.
  • Cream Puffs in Venice conquered the crepe cake, the Mt.Everest of Cakes. I have to buy at least 2 new kitchen tools to make this, but one day it will be mine.

Row 3

  • Another yummy thing to make for spring is strawberry butter {photo by Kitchen Sink Recipes}.
  • Jaw-dropping skirt by Karla Špetić, available on sale for $333.00 (*sigh*) {photo by Facehunter, and via Cat Party}.
  • Madden Girl Celiia flats with pompoms, $40 at Zappos (they also come in polka dots).
