notes from the studio

Summer is a great opportunity to take the trends from spring and blow them up! Jellies are fun! Wovens are huge— A fresh and funky way to update the woven or canvas oxford look is to wear cream colored ankle socks for a light and airy effect. CANDY COLORS are a must. Floral dresses? Yes, I think I might wear one every day!

music to get you over the hump day

it's a very special edition of music Wednesday! we just couldn't make up our minds, so we bring you not one, but two amazing songs to get you through the mid week lull.

dreamy, surreal video from Baltimore indie rockers Beachhouse

fun garage pop from a band who always knows how to brighten our spirits, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

ummmm, be sure to take notes.

BFFs!

our new digs!

there have been quite a few changes around the BC offices in the past few months. a big one is that we gave our Los Angeles showroom a complete overhaul. it looked like a disaster around here for a bit, with construction, painting, etc, but in the end it all paid off and we couldn't be happier with our new space!

cutest. idea. EVER!

It can be SO hard to think of what to get someone for their birthday, let alone think of something creative AND amazing AND well....not expensive. We found an answer! This birthday card suprise from Jordan Ferney's blog is just stinkin' adorable. Ferney, a San Francisco-based event planner, came up with the idea of making a birthday puzzle out of a blown-up photograph. Pieces of the puzzle are sent to friends and family with directions to add a note, picture, drawing, etc. They are then asked to send it back to the birthday girl/boy who will be receiving the pieces all week!

We loooove it, it really is the thought that counts!

Cuteness.

We love cats. We also love cute boys. So what could be better than both combined? Not much. Thank you, cuteboyswithcats.com.

summertime! yes, we are definitely ready for it, if you can't tell. and this song from The Spinto Band is the perfect soundtrack for a summer day.

Pop-Tarts pretty much speak for themselves, they are basically edible warm fuzzies. What could make the fuzzies, fuzzier? Adding amazing ingredients like Nutella and cinnamon sugar in a freshly home-made pastry dough. To die for? uh yeah. Checkout what the geniuses at smittenkitchen.com came up with.

hey girl hey!
