Favorite Living In

Do you guys ever see the "Living In" posts on Design*Sponge. Every week she picks a movie and finds items similar to the places, costumes, sets, etc. This last week Amy chose to do A League of Their Own, a great movie and I think my favorite "Living In". Check out what she found.

Wonderful new blog

I love discvering new places to check up on daily. A new great place is The Violet Hours. Um how wonderful are these posts about vintage suitcases? And balloons? I am seriously the happiest person right now.

Fabulous Blog

I just discovered Mrs. Lilian Styling House and it is so much fun. There is a theme every post and then the writer styles to match. I am seriously in love with Mrs. Lilian. She is divine and such a wonderful stylist. The blog is fantastic but you should also check out the eye candy...I drooled.

Blinging in the Rain is one of my favorites.

If you love ampersands

Did you know there is a blog dedicated to 365 days of Ampersands. There are some delicious ones on there. My favorites from the previous weeks are below.

Love day 24

of the Collection A Day, 2010.

Need a little break?

Or a great way to start your day? Or end it? Check out the blog A Collection a Day 2010, by artist/illustrator Lisa Congdon. It is adorable and I am hooked. She posts collections of things, photographed, illustrated, or painted everyday for one year. It makes me wonder what kind of "collections" I could come up with in my house alone. What do you collect?

Penguin Blog

Ever wanting to know of a cool blog to follow to pass your time? You should check out The Penguin Blog. They post about new covers, book series, shops, just a wide variety of great things.

Something I just found is this new book being released of 100 postcards from past book covers. I love it! Happy reading.

Mateo Ilasco

I was first introduced to designer Mateo Ilasco on Design Sponge as a guest blogger. This is a wonderful excerpt from her website about her..."My design and illustration work often expresses a penchant for old-fashioned methods, humble materials, manual design, and physical craft." I think that says it perfectly.

I love some of her illustrative work and am coveting this "sleepy" pillow. Check out her full line of products here. Her blog is also fabulous showcasing artists, great products and just plain cool things.

I love her post about chocolate, especially how she put the imagery together through informational graphics.
