Society 6 iPhone case, Nebula 3 by ThoughtCloud. The way I see it, I buy artwork for my walls, why not for something that I have on my person literally all day long? The case is really beautiful, although, sadly, it has already started chipping a bit along one of the edges.
Geoff & I aren’t really Valentine’s people, but I always feel compelled to get him something. This year I cheated and bought something both of us would want. I was walking past Soundscapes and I was happy to see both Blouse and Craft Spells records for sale because I had almost ordered these online. Plus free downloads, supporting my favourite music store, and beautiful art work! Sold. I gave them to Geoff over the weekend because I am not so good at surprises.
(The above picture was taken with the Diana lens that I had forgotten I owned.)
I’m going through a major Captured Tracks phase at the moment because I suspect that most of the bands on that label spent their formative years listening to the exact same music that I did. I can’t help but love nearly the entire label’s roster. It’s science, probably. A+ art department as well. Really into “Sleepwalking” by Cosmetics and “Harsh Realm” by Widowspeak.
A lucky find: deadstock vintage heart hoops. Rose petals on my fingers.
A shaggy, pretty hanging from Fleurlux, which I first spotted on Ashley Helvey’s blog.
An arrangement from Coriander Girl: always wonderful. Alison has just moved into a new, airy space that is so appropriately lovely for flower arranging.
So jealous of your amazing iphones cases (the cat one!!). I ended up with an android phone (can't swallow the iphone bill and no one will give me a deal cause they are so popular) and there are zero cute cases out there for it.
ReplyDeleteRIP cat case! It got so mangy and the ears got a little annoying after a while, haha. I guess I'm lucky to get a decent iPhone deal through work. Geoff is so jealous.
Deletelong live Captured Tracks !
ReplyDeleteYessssss!
DeleteSo many beautiful things, a good read for a gloomy day here in Chicago. I've been listening to Widowspeak nonstop since this summer. Just never gets old.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've been calling that band "Baby Mazzy Star."
DeleteSomehow everything you own is so dreamy. How is that? :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely collection!
"Dreamy" really is the ultimate compliment for me, so thank you!
DeleteThat iPhone case is awesome!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I really love it.
DeleteSuch a pretty selection!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis iphone case is so so so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Even chipped it's still so beautiful to me.
Deletei don't own an iphone but i want one just so i could stylize with a beutiful case like yours.
ReplyDeleteI gotta say, I love my phone. It's kind of ridiculous how much I use it.
Deletethat's an incredibly cute iPhone case! :)

Thank you!
Deletei wish i could find a case that nice for my nexus! so pretty. <3
ReplyDeletealso, i need to visit coriander girl. i keep seeing these beautiful, delicate, perfectly-paired bouquets by her and wanting to cry from their perfection. c and i 'swapped' roles for v'day and so he gets all the gifties/flowers/etc. tomorrow, sigh. looks like i'm man-ing up and getting them for myself, heh.
I really recommend a visit! Alison is lovely, and she will totally work with your budget. If you say "I'll have a $15 arrangement," that's what she'll do. It's great! Plus her flowers last forever, I find.
DeleteThose cases are so overpriced for the quality! total bummer!
ReplyDeleteI know, it is a bummer! But they're sending me a new one, which I hope will last longer (this one is still okay, just a tiny cosmetic issue really).
Deleteadorable post. love these little things in day to day life.
ReplyDeletei am such a sucker for craft spells. the artwork on those records is fantastic! i would love to get them both!
enjoying listening to the songs you shared.
xxxx
Thank you! I don't buy new records too often so it's a really nice treat.
Deleteahhh the colors in this post are so A+. and that iphone case is beautiful, but the quality is a total let down!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm glad you noticed. I wrote to the iPhone case company and they're sending me a new one, which is nice of them.
DeleteI keep hearing that Society6 cases aren't the best quality. :/ And thank youuuu for all the dreamy music.
ReplyDeleteYeah... I guess it depends? I've heard mixed reviews. But they are sending me a new one! Glad you liked it. Man, I've been listening to Blouse non-stop.
DeleteWhat is that lovely nail polish?
ReplyDeleteA friend gave me a gift certificate to a nail place so I decided to try a shellac manicure... CND Shellac in Rosebud.
Deletethe last society6 iphone case i got chipped also! luckily they were super nice and mailed me a new one (that isn't chipping at all) really quickly. i'm very glad because i love the designs so much! love the colors in this post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling me that, because I tried writing to them and they are sending me a new one as well, which is great. Luckily the chips kind of blend in with this design, but it's still a bummer since I've only had it two weeks. I really do love this design like crazy!
DeleteAside from the beautiful, perfectly-14-Feb covers, I just added all of those albums to my spotify playlists. I'm halfway through Blouse and I really love it. I've been eyeing that iPhone case for a while too - sad that it's chipping so quickly, but it really is lovely. Also, three cheers for the heart hoops.
ReplyDeleteAahh, I wish we had Spotify in Canada! Glad you're enjoying Blouse -- I have that album on an endless loop these days. They're sending me a new case, so maybe I'll have better luck with that one? Here's hoping! It's such a pretty design.
DeleteBeautiful things. And thank you for reminding me that I too have that Diana lens. I must dig it out. I wasn’t too impressed the first time I used it, so put it back in its box. After seeing your pictures, I think I should give it another chance. Have a lovely week :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, that lens is kind of a let-down, especially when you consider how expensive it is (for what it is) and how the same effect could be achieved with Photoshop. But I wanted to give it another chance!
Deletei love it all. especially that iphone case.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletegood idea to expose the works of art in things we use regularly and not leaving the art hanging on the wall ..
ReplyDeleteI like the case of the iphone ...
Thank you! I'm glad you like that idea.
Deletethis is a little unrelated to your post, but i just read about makeup for cat ladies on design sponge and instantly thought about your blog. talk about cute packaging!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.designsponge.com/2012/02/makeup-for-cat-ladies.html
Ughhhh that stuff is so adorable. The little top hat is insanely cute!
Deletewhat nail polish is that? so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's a shellac one, CND in Rosebud. I didn't have a lot of colours to choose from, but this one is pretty nice!
DeleteSuch a beautiful post. I love your iPhone case!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love it too, chips and all.
DeleteThat iPhone case is so very lovely. Almost makes me wish I had an iPhone!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I almost feel bad about how attached I am to that baby computer.
DeleteLovely treats. Just the color of the sunset here earlier today. After a lot of new snow.
ReplyDeleteHave a calm weekend!
Ooh, that sounds like a lovely sunset!
DeleteBeautiful♥ I want in IPhone not just for the pictures it takes, but also to buy a wonderful case for it.
ReplyDeletexxx
Yeah, the newest one takes really nice photos and video!
DeleteI didn't know there was a Diana lens. Would you recommend it?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I wouldn't. It doesn't do exactly what the Diana camera does, it just sort of makes the pictures blurry. You could do that with a Photoshop filter, if you have Photoshop. It's pretty expensive considering it's just a plastic lens. Might as well spend the money on an actual Diana+, even though film and developing are extra.
DeleteThanks. P.S. Really looking forward to Baby Lips coming out to the West Coast.
ReplyDeleteWhen I see this beautiful iPhone case, I should upgrade my iPod tocuh to the phone version...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful nail polish too!
I wonder if the cases would fit iPods as well? I haven't checked but it's possible.
Deleteyou're a lucky duck for scoring those fantastic heart hoops!
ReplyDeleteYeah! I really love them! I was so thrilled when I found them, even though the black bits blend in with my hair. Haha.
Deletegood blog that I love
