I have to share this link with you for the Unhappy Hipsters blog. It is so great. I love that most of the images are from Dwell magazine. I love Dwell magazine, and I love this blog for making fun of it's pretentiousness. Found via sfgirlbybay.

I saw this awhile ago on Loobylu. It's marvelous, albeit a bit creepy.

I found a great new design blog today: Kitka Design Toronto, and an amazing little shop to go with it. The blog writers actually own a shop in Toronto called Mjolk. (Remind me that next time I am in Toronto, I need to go and visit them and the rest of their neighbours at The Junction.) The shop specializes in classic and new Scandinavian designers, the kinda stuff I would just drool all over. They have a great variety of furniture pieces, lifestyle products, and accessories, all fully encapsulating the beautiful simplicity that Scandinavians are known for.

Of course, they feature my most favourite little monkey. Found via Grey.

Ahh, the end of the week. I am especially grateful for this weekend, as I have been working for 12 days straight. Nice way to start off the new yeah, eh? Anyway, here are a couple of things that kept me going this week:

My new HBC Point Blanket! After coveting one for years, I used my Christmas money on this delightful heirloom. Pictures soon!

I love Selvedge magazine, but never buy it as it's a bit costly, especially for something that is basically just a picture book for me. I was on their website earlier this week and found their drygoods section. Some beautiful things over their.

Maggie has been documenting her friend's wardrobes, and her latest on her friend Rachel Brune is my fave so far. I covet everything. That pink vintage dress is to die for, and I am wondering how I can add tiny shoulder buttons and ruffles to my wardrobe.

And then I thought I would fill this space with a little introduction of my constant companion. Pictured above is my lovely dog, Margot. She is a 1 1/2 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and is the most delightful thing to come home to everyday. And I am quite looking forward to some quality time in the park with her this weekend. I hope you all have good plans for the next couple of days too.

These days I have mostly taken to skimming through pictures on my favourite blogs, but this post today on design*sponge made me halt in my tracks. I would love to see what goes on at the art department of Mad Men. Could you image walking through the furniture inventory there?!?

Also, a link to Matt Warners son, Arlo, in case you haven't met this little fashionista. I wish I dressed half as good as him!
