Dorky camp music video strums my heart strings

Have you seen the music video for hellogoodbye's "Here (In Your Arms)"? It was playing today at Crunch and the cliche geeky summer camp theme totally cracked me up.

Teeny tiny book necklace

I worked at a rare bookstore one summer so I adore old leather books. And now I can wear one! Black Spot Books makes super miniature book necklaces. Aren't they precious? (via Kingdom of Style)


And while seeing a bunch of them worn all at once is more than a bit overwhelming, it has the charm of a pile of old, loved books.


All these books just made me think of my dream library... from Beauty and the Beast! How random, I literally haven't thought of it for years. But isn't it to die for?

Red lips

I literally had never worn lipstick (save for a very occasional super natural shade and one even more occasional unnaturally light pink I got at a preview that made me look Gaga-esque). But this all changed Friday when one of my darling friends gave me a goodie bag filled to the brim with lipsticks (a hint hint, perhaps?). Now I can't stop! Do you wear lipstick?

I love this photo from The Sartorialist because it shows that red lips can go with a casual ensemble. PS I'm sure you've already seen it, but how funny is Refinery29's guide to getting your picture taken by him?

Custom-made samplers

Ohmygosh how adorable are these samplers by Miniature Rhino?? The top one is so precious - put in your own names. But hey I'm a single gal so I've only got eyes for the second one, which is choose your own constellation. But which constellation to choose?!

I'm strangely fascinated by artist Jan Blommeart's visions of trash monsters... I'm particularly taken by the Starbucks cup fingers on the first one. (via Lost At E Minor)

Rings from The Trophy Lodge

I'm swept up by these rings from The Trophy Lodge. So cute and clever!
