Have A Nice Weekend

We've got a beautiful weekend to look forward to in So Cal... This shot of the Venice sign sums it up perfectly! { photo via leblahg}

Nord Woodland Animal Prints

Kind of obsessed with this collection from Huset. A few of these pillows or tea towels could easily transform any home into a woodland winter wonderland!

DIY: Tiny Polaroid Magnets

My boyfriend recently ordered THESE custom magnets from Stickygram that are created using your Instagram photos. It's such an awesome idea, especially for those of us who love personalizing our spaces with memory-filled objects. I was thrilled to find THIS DIY over at OhCrafts that shows you how to make your own Tiny Polaroid Magnets. And did I mention it's practically free!? Woo hoo! Wouldn't this be a sweet gift idea too? Click on the image below for further instructions :)

Watery Monday

Oh California weather! Such a tease, giving us a gorgeous sunny weekend, just to turn into this rainy week? As if Mondays weren't hard enough to wake up for already! At least these photographs by Alexandra Valenti are helping to lift my dreary spirit. Her dark and watery scenes transform with the bright watercolors painted on top.

If only I could paint on my office window and make this day look a little brighter!

 

The Polaboy Lamp

Are these Polaboy lamps not the coolest thing? Either use one of their existing images -OR- even better, you can send them one of your own Polaroids! What better way to illuminate your cherished memories than this mesmerizing fixture?

Feature : Sami Paige Draisin Photography

I am so thrilled to be featuring the photography of my friend Sami Paige Drasin today. Her entire portfolio is stunning- but I've managed to pick out a few of my favorite pieces. And TRUST me, it wasn't easy to choose! My goodness... this girl's got talent! Enjoy :)

and here she is...

Jen Awad : White Light, White Heat Collection

I am so thrilled about todays post here on MDP! I get to share with you Miss Jen Awad's fashion for the second time here on my blog (previous entry found HERE) who I am both a friend and huge fan of. Her latest collection of work, just released a few days ago, is called White Light, White Heat. I will warn you, these pieces are pretty easy to fall in love with... so you may want to lock your wallets up asap! I would also like to give credit to Lasonic Sivongxay for the incredibly beautiful photography, capturing the essence of the collection with the ever-so dreamy lighting... and the Dylan Keith Salon (a wonderful salon I'm a proud customer of) for the hair and make-up. Just lovely.

Whimsy of Vintage Photography

One day I will have a family portrait taken on a moon! Don't you just love these beautiful vintage photographs?

 Photographers today have taken similar themes and captured images nodding to the whimsical aesthetic of vintage photography.
