Some pretty nail polishes from Scotch Naturals in pale neutral pink, periwinkle blue, mint and coral - perfect colours for summer.


I love these quirky coloured oxfords (originally from Simone LeBlanc, found on pinterest)

SimpleSize is a Japanese lifestyle store that sells all kinds of sundries. I am in love with their lovely kitchenware, especially their enameled bowls and pots.



And I leave you with some cuteness from the most delightful yo! happy!, a blog run by Japanese designer Yoko Noguchi.

Moomah Café

Moomah is a quirky little café and art space in Tribeca, NY. I love the concept that they are selling - very down to earth and family friendly. Not to mention their beautifully designed coffee cups and menus, courtesy of Apartment One. Be sure to check out their recently launched journal as well.
