Things I Love Thursday :: June 25, 2009

* Emma Watson in Teen Vogue. Love love LOVE this photoshoot. This is how I imagine characters in a Francesca Lia Block novel dressing - quirky and colourful, and just a little bit over the top. (PS. I want that purple dress with the million layers of tulle!)

* PocketMod. PocketMod is the funnest little 4-page personal organizer - set up each page just how you like it (with a calendar, task list, graph paper, or chart), print on a good 'ol standard piece of paper, fold, and VOILA! It becomes a teeny little portable organizer, complete with a pocket for business cards. I'm trying this out as a wandering to-do list, so that I can catch everything in one place. It tucks perfectly into my Moleskine planner...I think I'm in love.

* Antiqued wooden signs. Printed on wood and made to order, these are a lovely way to add some texture and retro charm to a room.

* Coeur de Pirate. The lovely Beatrice Martin (aka. Coeur de Pirate) played her first Toronto show last week as part of NXNE, and the venue was so packed I almost didn't make it in! A little eyelash batting and sweet talking got me through the door, and I'm so glad it did, because she is fantastic live. Although I don't understand a word she's saying (all of her songs being in French and all), her music is definitely worth a listen.

Happy Thursday! What's making you swoon this week?
