Fab Friday Find! Sexy Summer Bomber Jacket

Swoon! This sassy lil' Kelly Barry bomber-meets-bolero is the absolute pride and joy of my virtual closet. It's totally one of those pieces that you could wear with anything...jeans, cocktail dresses, khaki shorts, you name it. If you do pair with jeans or shorts, I would also add a top. But that's just me being my conservative, shirt-wearing self.

By the by, I wouldn't want to bump into the tough-a&$ chick in this pic in a dark alley. Looks like someone forgot to get grumpypants her skinny soy latte this morning. How in the world could someone be so unhappy in such a fab coat? I hope the photographer stayed away from sharp objects; this lady looks like she could go Naomi C. on someone any second.

Anyhoo, guess what? The coat's made of organic cotton! I bet you already guessed that though, huh? Oh, dear, dear reader, you know me so well. Just for that, I've willed the powers that be to put the coat on sale. $126 at BTCelements.com. Lucky ducks.

Modern, Green Adirondack for Those of You Who Get Summer

My understanding is that summer has hit other parts of the country. San Francisco, not so much. Still, a girl can dream.

How much do you love the sleek angles and modern dark ash shade of CB2's FSC-certified Eucalyptus wood Sawyer chairs? A lot, right? You can just tell they'd be a perfect match in a minimalist, Cali-style, low-water garden, but would also lend a contemporary, beachy vibe to a lush East Coast yard. I think we've all earned some summery lounging...even if I'll be wearing a coat in this bizarro city where microclimates take the place of seasons.

Ikat Get Enough of Ashley Watson + Lina Rennell Bags

Sorry for the stinker of a headline, but it's true! I'm officially obsessed with Ikat. If you show me something with Ikat print, I'll show you how fast I can pull out my wallet. If I could, I'd take a page from Heidi Montag's playbook and buy 10 in 1 day. And then recover by slowly, ever so slowly, eating veggie burgers "fresh" from my freezer cuz it's all I'd be able to afford.

These gorgeous recycled leather and organic canvas handmade bags are the collaborative work of Ashley Watson (whose bags I've admired before) and Lisa Rennell. They're sold at Beklina and nope, they ain't cheap. But they sure would make a fabu Mother's Day gift. Especially the blue one above. I'm just sayin.

Mmmmm....Snack Time!

I would love to say that it's only since becoming a mom that I've been reacquainted with the delightful period of the day that is snack time, but let's be honest: I was enjoying snack time for years before Finley was even a twinkle in my eye. It's not just for kids!

Whether you have bambinos or, like me, you're just a dedicated grazer, the reusable snack bags from PB Green are going to be right up your alley. There's no BPA or phthalates to worry about, just good ol' machine washable cotton in prints so cute you'll be tempted to use your new snack trap as a clutch.

Remember, it's always snack time somewhere... so why not snack in style?

Friday Find: Alphabet Pillows


I can't tell you how bizarrely happy these funny little poofy letter pillows make me. Did you smile a little when you saw them? Then you're allowed to keep reading. (Ok, fine: Smiling on the inside counts. But don't be so stingy next time! It's Friday.)

Best part? They're made from recycled suit jackets! Mmmmm, I can smell the pipe smoke from here.

A, B, C ya later!
