How about downloading some adorable temporary tattoos?

Alright, I’m all out of Valentine’s Day suggestions. Let’s just talk about some cool things I found this week.

The Lovely List

I love this picture of the Cliff House in San Francisco. K took it on our recent trip there. Sunshine in January!

Here are some fun links for you.

A stunning red suede clutch.

What will this world be like if we allow Twinkies to die?

Like to travel with a cupcake on hand? You might want to reconsider.

Show your hometown spirit with a locale onesie.

Lately, I fawn over knitted pillows like this one.

This one is pretty wonderful too. Or, if you are feeling crafty, you can make your own pouf!

Office stuff is so boring. I love the idea of some pretty peacock inspired hanging folders.

And, speaking of paper goods, I was thrilled to discover this gorgeous etsy store.

I might have to get this sweet fox mug for Maeve.

In baby toddler news, we are really loving board books. Maeve is currently loving Kevin Henkes. She adores this book and this book.

The Lovely List

Hello friends. Another week and another list. So many favorites today!

But first, I made a list of baby essentials last week. Did you see it?

I always wanted an Easy Bake Oven. Now, it will work even without those nasty light bulbs!

Nothing beats a fabulous new ipad cooking application by the baking goddess, Dorie Greenspan. With videos too!

Dip dyed bags. Like pieces of art.

Make your own photo booth pictures without leaving your living room.

Cereal milk is one of the greatest things, right? You can indulge more often using this recipe.

Seriously adorable plush toys.

Let’s make some great art.

Who is finally selling clothes on-line in the U.S.? Zara! 

Maeve is always using my iphone as a teether. I just may have to try this Apptivity Case.

I laughed so hard I nearly cried. Ah, dating.

Like the photo in this post? It’s from a super sweet wedding.

The Lovely List | All Things Baby

Suddenly, I look around and everyone is pregnant. It’s incredible.

I love seeing those bumps and the excitement on the radiant face of an expectant mom. My heart sings. So, today, I dedicate this to all of you. It’s a list of the products I use most often for my little red fox. Mind you, it’s not an exhaustive list. I just don’t have the brainpower to manage such a thing. However, feel free to drop me a line if you have a specific question. I’d be more than happy to answer!

My favorite carrier. Hurray for back support! I’m delighted to tout the Gemini because there was a great deal of trial and error involved in finding a good carrier.

I also love slings for a quick jaunt. These ones are quite pretty.

A fabulous bathtub for your newborn! The best part about the Puj tub is that it you can hang it flush to the wall when you’re done.  There’s no bulky storage issue, which is fabulous for small houses.

Gentle and organic baby wash.  Unscented!

A hooded towel for baby.

Itty bitty nail clippers.

Some great baby bottles that are BPA free and designed to prevent gas.

I cannot mention these mesh food feeders enough. They are wonderful for helping your baby explore new…
