I'm on the hunt for booties like these. I feel like I never wear heels anymore now that I'm living in L.A. If I found those booties shown on top, I don't think I'd ever take them off!

Felix Doolittle Designs
I'm thrilled that I came across this lovely little site, Felix Doolittle. From stationary to paper weights and baker's labels, they personalize everything that would be on your desk at home (or in the kitchen!). These return labels are my personal fave.
Theory Finds: Spring 2011
Theory is always chock-full of classics that never go out of style. Anything blue, white or with stripes are my staples, and their latest additions don't disappoint. I hope my girlfriends in New York are taking full advantage of the Theory sample sales I once took for granted- they are nowhere to be found in L.A.! So for now, I'm stuck shopping Theory resort here.
Hermes Screen Leathers
Hermes has posted (via their facebook page) 'screen leathers' available for download on your computer (or iPhone or iPad!). I'm loving the ostrich grey. Check them out here.

Trending Now: Neon Bolds
The look: Bright, bold neon accessories. Love how Tory Burch is doing this for Spring 2011.
Style tip: “Neon jewelry looks great with a print. Layer several necklaces together for maximum effect,” notes stylist Tabitha Simmons.
Shop here.

Scrapwood Wallpaper
I love wide-plank wood flooring and panelling. Apparently Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek, does too! These wallpaper sheets are made to look like real scrapwood, and I'm obsessed. I'm not usually one for accent walls, but one of these babies would look pretty rocker-chic in a nice little nook. Shop here.
Converse in SoHo, New York
How rad is this American 'flag' at the new Converse shop in New York? I was checking out my very talented friend's blog, deshëco, and came across this newly designed store (it's Converse's second retail shop worldwide).
The real game changer with the store is their sneaker printers. After deciding on a pair of kicks, consumers can scroll through thousands of designs on iPads set-up throughout the shop. Your new kicks are printed right there on site, all while you wait. Cool, innovative retail experiences get me every time.

Mad Men in Rolling Stone
How can you not love these images of the Mad Men cast featured in Rolling Stone magazine? Old news, I know, (from in the August 31 issue), but the nostalgic, behind-the-scenes images still manage to capture the essence of an era long lost. View more here.

Diptyque Paris
Who: Diptyque
What: The French fragrance company’s new(ish) roll-on gel cologne
Why bother: Roll-on gel is lighter than spray. The French fragrance house has designed a 20-milliliter roll-on that delivers four of its classic scents in a tiny glass bottle. Diptyque says the metal ball "intensifies the fresh nature of its colognes, leaving a delicately dosed scented veil on the skin."
Scent: "L’Eau," has hints of Italian green mandarin, grapefruit and orange blossom; "Hesperides," spiked with bitter orange, lemon and African rosemary; "Neroli," which has Italian bergamot, Indonesian patchouli and tarragon; and "Tarocco," smells like ginger, saffron and Bulgarian roses
How much and where: $48 at diptyqueparis.com
Roll on.
A Current Affair: Pop-Up Vintage Marketplace
Too bad I'll be working this weekend. If I weren't, I'd be going to this to check out the vintage art + clothing. Try going on the 11th so you can check out Artisanal LA right afterwards.

Elle Decor :: Chic Ski House
This month's Elle Decor features the mother/daughter team from M. Elle Designs (based here in California) and their creation of this chic and rustic home. It's not too cutesy, but warm, cozy and has the right amount of masculinity. Love.
