Margot at the Wedding

Just saw Margot at the Wedding and liked it quite a bit.

NYCB Workout

Lately I've been loving the New York City Ballet Workout. I always had the dvd boxset high on my wish lists and it turned out to be a very sweet and secret Valentine's day gift from R. NYC Ballet Master Peter Martins' Danish accent also lends some comic relief to the routine.. I can't help but imagine Karl Lagerfeld narrating haphazardly behind the camera. To further the obsession, I'm also reading the book Ballet 101: A Complete Guide to Learning and Loving the Ballet. (pictured: Stella McCartney for Adidas Yanga ballet-inspired flats)

Happy Valentine's Day

I could seriously spend the entire day camped out at florist shops or grocery stores watching men and women pick out bouquets of Valentines flowers.. one of my very favourite things is chance-sightings of men walking through cities carrying wrapped bouquets. Just too cute.

Gorgeous and inventive arrangements via House Martin.

Wire Castles

These precious wire castles made by Pascale Paulin remind me of Jean-Jacques Sempé or Ludwig Bemelman illustrations.. (Found via Rita Konig's Domino mag blog).

Shirt Dresses

At the top of my spring/summer wish list: a pale blue shirt dress to wear with tights and platform sandals. (photos above: Delia's ruffled shirt dress; Corpus pinstripe shirt dress from Gargyle)
