"Inspired by French bicycle design of the 50’s and 60’s we have created a bicycle that preserves the simple elegance, and pure form of that golden era but has all the benefits of modern comfort and reliability. LINUS is the utilitarian, city bike… simple and reliable but with a personality and style that makes you feel like you’re in an old French movie… you’re floating a little from the wine you drank at lunch… maybe instead of going back to the office you’ll take a nap under a tree, go for a swim in the sea or drop by your lover’s house…


In most urban cultures bicycles are viewed as legitimate transportation and not merely recreation, but sadly this idea never really caught on in the US. We take numerous little journeys, under 5 miles, as part of our everyday life…. to the store, the pub, to work, etc. Besides the obvious joy of riding a bicycle, these small bicycle trips reduce carbon emissions, congestion, noise pollution, and make for a happier, city experience.

That’s LINUS… a simple, affordable, elegant bike for riding around and doing stuff."

Not my cup of tea.

Reeeefreshing!

My friends make fun of my overuse of the word, "refreshing." So, I decided to look up a few synonyms to REFRESH my vocabulary. Ha! Or shall I use, "enliven?" "Rejuvenate?" "Resuscitating" sounds like I'm trying to bring myself back from the dead...

Definition: make like new; give new life

Synonyms: brace, breathe new life into, bring around, brush up, cheer, cool, enliven, exhilarate, freshen, inspirit, jog, modernize, prod, prompt, quicken, reanimate, recreate, regain, reinvigorate, rejuvenate, renovate, repair, replenish, restore, resuscitate, revitalize, revive, revivify, stimulate, update, vivify

Caffeinating has never looked so chic.

I got da blues.

I would say my style is more on the sporty side than the feminine, so I love love taking inspiration from men's fashion. I be rollin in my chambray, nautical stripes and light wash denim alllll summer long.

Power couple.

I love a tailored trench coat and a good-sized leather bag. Mmm ... I MISS NEW YORK.

Break (AOTL) by Childish Gambino

Childish Gambino + Adele + Jamie xx = eargasm



If you didn't already know, Childish Gambino is Donald Glover, comedian // actor // indie rapper, from Community:



Bahahahaha. That face. Reminds me of the Pauly D faces (i.e. the only reason I ever watched the Jersey Shore...).

 

 

 

 

This could battle out the Troy/Donald Glover look, I think.

Haha hope you enjoyed the little study break pick-me-up!

Little bit of chutzpah

More inspiration from the yellow dress, including the runway song:

Lykke li -Little bit (panue' remix) by Panue'

There's an art to making an entrance.

 

 

A refresher for the heart

This is a bit old, but I watch it from time to time, because it's so downright charming and adorable.

Playthings for urbanites

They're called terrariums, and I want one.

"Terrariums are just the thing for urbanites like us who are strapped for space and yearning for a patch of greenery."

Created by designer Jose Agatep, these quaint statuesque biomes would be perfect for my drab little office cubicle.

“He fills them with plants from a local Philadelphia flower shop and soil and wood chips from along forest trails and train tracks. (He particularly likes taking components from the outdoors because they come with the bacteria and insects necessary to maintain the self-contained ecosystem, and sometimes they sprout mushrooms, much to his customers’ surprise.) 'Everything is so … technology,” he says. 'We need the nature. It’s a good reminder of how it used to be.' ”

Apparently, Anthropolgie now sells these in their home department ($28 to $398). Oh you would, Anthro. You can read the full article here.

Happy valentine's day :)

DIS SO CUTE.

Some Lovely Things from COACH

COACH is making some pretty gold pieces (see below). I usually think Coach is overrated - their craftsmanship is beautiful but the design is... eh, a little tacky sometimes (ex. their sling bags and multi-colored, printed, striped, and glittery signatures). 

However, I was looking through their collection online and I found some new pieces which I love. They remind me of the Winter Holiday season. It must be all my work on the Holiday Gift products at l'internship, putting me in the season cheer... even though it's still June. 

Anyways, I think the bracelet and bag would make gorgeous gifts for anyone (hint, hint)!
