A totebag on your shoulder, flats on your feet, a floral sundress on your back and a camera around your neck. You’re a fashionista photog — so why cramp your style with the strap that just came in the box? And it has a great little pocket, perfect for film or memory cards. Available for sale at Photojojo.

The wooden crate is a flea market staple. Next time you see a tower of them, you may be more inspired.

At my wedding, we used a vintage wooden crate as a “flip book” of old photos of me and Michael. It had a playful flea market feel.

Ida Pearle is my go-to for baby gifts. I love her name prints and her alphabet cards that you can string up and hang on the wall.

Hische-letters

Check out these gorgeous letter prints by Jessica Hische. I would be so psyched if my name started with a Q. Found via Grain Edit.

I’ve come across this common thread in photographs lately, and, well, I just like them.

Yes, this is what you think it is: “By gum, it’s gum!” (Violet from Willy Wonka reference). Yes, this is pretty gross, and yet it’s rather beautiful too. Found via FFFound.

This restaurant has 600 butterfly portraits on display. It’s almost like wallpaper. Amazing. Found via You Are My Fave.
