Vintage Mint

These floral arrangements {seriously, can they even be called that? they are so much more exquisitely ornate} by Saipua are down. right. breathtaking. They’re a little unconventional but they sure do pack a visual punch. If I didn’t depend on my soul-crushing desk job, I’d be a florist in a heartbeat.

{These are definitely reminiscent of my quaint wedding bouquet…}

And their heavenly shop in Brooklyn:

{Oh yes, they also sell their handmade olive oil soap! Makes sense: saipua = Finnish for soap.}

Not all these fashionable ladies hail from the City of Lights, but they definitely emit that style {or maybe it’s just me?}. Major swoon…

{I’ve been desperately on the hunt for some beige-y nude less-than-3-inch heels/flats for a good half of a year now…}

{love the cheeky charm the black bow adds to her outfit}

{LOVE this outfit; there’s just something so refreshingly casual about cropped trousers, nautical stripes, and leather flats. Ahem, minus the cig.}

{Finally!} New episode of my favorite show this Thursday {Jan 14th}!  Bring it.

Jack: Lemon, I’m impressed. You’re beginning to think like a businessman.
Liz: A businesswoman.
Jack: I don’t think that’s a word.

{Thanks for the reminder, Jo!}

One of the {only} productive things I managed to do during my brief vacay was lounge around making some of these Anthro-esque floral brooches. They were surprisingly easy to make and you only need fabric scraps, needle + thread, and a pin backing. {Instructions from the wonderful diy/craft-loaded blog, My Mama Made It}.
