I’ve been searching for a cute Halloween costume for my little pug Alfred and when I saw this shark ensemble on the Rikshaw Design blog (one of my all time favorites, you must visit!) I absolutely melted. What do you think? Do you have a favorite pet costume? There are so many to choose from, it’s a bit overwhelming for a first-time pet owner like myself!

Hello all, my apologies for having neglected you the past few days. I’ve simply been exhausted and in desperate need of a little rest and relaxation. Next time I’ll announce it before hand so I don’t have concerned friends contacting me—oops! Anyway, I get these horrid stitches out of my foot this weekend so that’s something to look forward to. Oh and the new J.Crew catalog is out. Have you seen it? As a matter of fact, I’ll post the cover below. Isn’t it divine? Anywho, I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and I promise to be back next week brimming with wonderful posts. I’ve been saving up lots of little things and am oh-so-excited to share it all with you. Thank you for your continued support and inspiration!

You know when you stumble across something by chance and feel as though you’ve found your soulmate? Well, that’s how I feel about the illustrations of Caitlin McGauley. When I came across her work in the newly debuted Lonny magazine and made my way to her website it was truly as though I’d died and gone to heaven. Above is a shot of her homepage—I mean, really, could it possibly be any more charming? Just look at that classic sailor striped tank, the vintage globe and camera, ballet flats and bubbly! If you love what you see be sure to also check out Caitlin’s blog “My NYC Sketchbook” — you’ll be charmed, I’m quite sure.
