cute vintage shoes
I am trying my best not to buy anything new these days. The idea is to purchase used and vintage in an effort to avoid buying and throwing away crappily produced items. I'm certainly not buying used underwear or toothbrushes, but I like to shop and I was feeling a little guilty about it. In any case, I'm struggling a bit with the shoe situation. I have to run for the train a lot (yes, it is cute), and that's just not possible in heels (or not in my case, anyhow). The point is, vintage shoes are cute, but I'm still rather hesitant to buy them when there is no LRP (liberal return policy). If I were a little braver, I might go for the following:

an unhealthy obsession with taking photos of jellyfish
Jeff and I took a short trip to Monterey this weekend to see friends and visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. In addition to the impressive Kelp Forest, I loved the beautiful lit exhibits and scores of different and unique sea life.
The jellyfish were truly mesmerizing...I could have photographed them for hours.

Spotted these new Heath Ceramics products on Design*Sponge today. Coincidentally, my mom and sister recently visited their brand new brick and morter store in Los Angeles and sent me these photos of their new space:

want it
Graphics by Los Angeles artist Shepard Fairey (famous for the Obama HOPE poster) are part of the newest campaign for Saks Fifth Avenue stores, including this limited edition tote (at $20/each, perhaps the most reasonably priced item you will ever find at Saks!). It reminds me of work from Russian designer Alexander Rodchenko:

eschscholzia californica
Spotted this pretty California poppy poster over at the Rockridge Bart station. Part of a series by Berkeley illustrator Mick Wiggins, the posters are inspired by areas around different Bart stations:
