staple art : it's a must.

How beautiful is this mural?

Would you believe it's made of hundreds of teeny tiny staples?

Cuz it is!!

Check it out if you think I'm lyin'!!

paradise

I want to go to there.

meet your match

I was inspired by Matters of Style, who obsessively collects matches like I do. It's one

of my favorite things about traveling and ultimately becomes a free souvenir - sweet!

Usually they're scattered all around my apartment in little dishes, but I gathered up some

of my favorites to show you. Thanks for the idea Matters of Style!

(Matches from Gueros Taco Bar in Austin, the now defunct Louis' in Pawley's Island, SC, Scoma's in Sausalito, Vendetta's in Vail, CO, Schmeltema and Roue D'or in Brussels, and my neighborhood favorite Union Square Cafe.)

I hope the Hot Tub Time Machine is real, because I know where I wanna go.

I love Diane Keaton's quirky style.

This NYTimes article about her other passions

(fashion, photography, etc.) is really cool.

How to spend a weekend

1. Eat lots of yummy stuff.

2. Go to the Aquarium and hang out with Jellies.

Olympic fever

Does anyone else have Olympic fever?

These Ryan McGinley 2010 Olympic photos are just so beautiful.

These baby eggplants are so cute. And tasty too!

I just recently tried them for the first time and now I'm kind of obsessed.

I am loving the recent trend of inspiration sections on designer's websites.

It's so interesting to get a peek into the design process and find out what informs their decisions.

Plus they look like scrapbooks so me like.

the grand dame

I love Grand Central. These old photos make me love it even more.
