INSPIRATION

Studio McGee Not to be all "back in my day" but these guys are OG bloggers from the first wave, and have informed my own personal home style more than just about anyone else around.  I also LOVE their YouTube.

EATING

Kent Mangos

This week has been recipe free (we even had Shake & Bake!), but we have been eating the hell out of some mangos, which are at the tail end of their first season here.  It's a perfect fruit - not too sweet, not too bitter, not too fibrous.  For dessert.  Or breakfast.  Or whenever.

LISTENING

Zero 7

How is this album still so good?  Randomly put it on the other day and OMG it's timeless.  Perfect from start to finish - and the extended album has some incredible live versions at the end. 

WATCHING
Derry Girls

It's just SO.  DAMN.  FUNNY.  Wry, sweet, honest and even though I have no frame of reference for being a girl in 90's Northern Ireland there's a nostalgia connection in the music and the clothes that cannot be overstated.

READING

Nature of Home

The way Jeffrey Dungan designs houses that look like they've always been there yet feel so contemporary is a marvel.  I adore how he talks about design in general. 

WORKING

Fab Fringe

The only in-person gig I do all year for events - and this week it's all coming together.  I've been looking forward to doing the flower arrangements for weeks now. 

MAKING

Sofa Pillows

TFW you fall in love with pillows that are over $200 each and spend 3 months researching the fabric supplier to be able to sew your own (and save a ton of $). So happy with them!!
