Sunny Days

It's been so hot lately here in OC and So Cali, that I've got sun on the brain. Recently, as I browsed through Banana Republic, I spied their credit card application. I like the abstract sun that kind of reminds me of some sort of 50's vintage block print, but is really made up of silhouettes of clothing (so clever). This for some reason got me thinking about lemons. Do you enjoy iced beverages with lemon? My only pet peeve is when I suck up a seed while drinking with a straw. Grrr... hate that.
Anyways- Here's a couple fun sun-inspired things I've spotted recently:"radial pillow" from Hybrid Home

Utopia Sun ornament by Jonathan Adler"Starburst" (ok, not specifcally a sun, but the sun is a star right?)
mirror and bowl from Crate&Barrel
"Drawing the Sun" book by Bruno Munari

Butterflies Attack!

I don't have many (if any) butterflies in my home, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate their beauty. (Although, as I've mentioned, don't look toooo close at them!...) Anyway- the other day I noticed that the Isaac Mizrahi collection at Target has brought out a new design for their bedding collection. A pretty graphic pattern of scattered butterflies paired with a nice mossy green polka dot print.
And if you happen to have your bed in the same room as you eat, you could use these somewhat matching (but still goregous) dinnerware set from Anthropologie.

mundane aesthetic: more tree shadows

Happy Friday! It's been one of those slow mornings where I find myself sitting at my table and just staring at the window. The shadows from my tree outside continues to fascinate me. Here are some more shots at various times in the morning (from super early to later). The first one is at 6:45am... I like how only half the window has light and shadow...by 8:00am , it's pretty bright...by 10:00am, the sun starts to move a little...AT:NY recently posted these beautiful curtains, but I think I still prefer mine...

Lots going on this weekend to share, so check back Sunday for a few more mundane musings...
Have a great weekend!
