Deconstructed state sandwiches....okay, now I'm hungry.

Someone hire this girl. Kelly Pratt, a design student in Chicago, has set out to create some serious sandwich art. She's making (and photographing) a beautifully deconstructed sandwich for every state. She only has about ten so far, which you can see here, but plans to do allllll 50. 

The best part? When you're done drooling you can head to this part of the website, which has the recipe for each. 

 Holla!

Wine not?

I present to you: STACKED; a bottle of wine that splits into four stemless wine glasses. Running for $15 a bottle (not bad at ALL!), the wine company was founded by three friends who attended business school at UC Irvine and are now headquartered in Newport Beach. Talk about a dream job, huh? 

Back to the geniusness. My guess is we're totally going to see more of these popping up all over the place. The convenience for picnics, tailgates, mini hiking trips....just endless. Unfortunately they're only sold in California liquor stores but you can buy it online here. 

Cocktail poster

I think this poster would be totally cool and non-tacky to have in your kitchen, above a bar cart.

File this in the 'Creative Dates' folder

I tend to think simple dates are often the most fun (but if you wanna fly me off to Italy, Mike, that's cool too). How cute is this dock picnic? All you'd need is a blanket, a bottle of wine, and some easy munchies...

...and then push him in at the end. Just kidding. No I'm not. 

Midnight Snack Box

I'll be honest, I'm a nurturer by nature. (Hahahah, get it? I didn't even try to set that up. Roll with my unintentional puns.) I get it from my mother. She's one of the most caring and thoughtful people I know. We both like doing fun little things like this for the people we care about. 

Check it out. 

How welcoming of a treat would this be for guests crashing at your house? They don't have to worry about being hungry post-bed time, they can dig into their midnight snack box for a treat. What a creative way to make people feel right at home.

Branding 10,000 Lakes

Wow. This is impressive. Graphic designer Nicole Meyer has quite the project on her hands. She plans on making one logo per day for every single lake in Minnesota. If my math is correct, this will take her approximately 27 years. How COOL is that?? Am I biased because I'm Minnesotan? You can check out her project here. 

Tiffany + The Sartorialist + Garance Doré = THEE. BEST. CAMPAIGN. EVER.

This is. the most heart-warming, brilliant, makes-my-heart-skip-a-thousand-beats-per-minute, campaign. EVER. EVER EVER. Tiffany (everyone's favorite robin's egg blue jeweler) teamed up with street style photographer Scott Schuman—of The Sartorialist fame—and his equally talented blogger girlfriend, Garance Doré, to create What Makes Love True, the most (impressively uncheesy) collaboration to celebrate all that is love. 

Tiffany represents everything that is tangible about love; engagement rings, jewelry, things you buy to "show someone you love them." Revealing a deeper side of the brand, they teamed up with Scott, Garance and their customers to launch "a unique guide to matters of the heart." Users can upload photos (the website even has a special filter app for the photos making them romantically hazy like the ones below), videos, stories, and songs. Creativity at its finest. 

Who knew anything as simple as initialed mugs could be so adorable?

Say Something Nice

I love being reminded that there are some really great people out there. Plus this whole idea is fantastic. 

One Clutch, Two Ways

That's code for reversible. Didn't you think anything reversible when you were younger was just the bee's knees? I had a few reversible t-shirts I thought were pretty baller.  

This is grow up reversible fun, just a little (VASTLY) out of my price range. Metallic gold leather on one side, black and white chevron on the other. Now that's just schnazzy. 

Making Parties Colorful & Awesome

Confetti invitations and giant balloons. I feel drunk off color right now.

Cooo--uhllllll. Here's the tutuorial. 

These delightful little (big) things are from Geronimo and I find them ten times better than regular balloons. 

5 Things I Found Today (The October 9th Edition)

• Bobbi & Mike have the most fantastic photography site. Here are there 50 favorite "love" photographs they did in 2010. 

• You HAVE to look at this. Most epic date ever. Dinner in the sky. 

• Discovered: The Happiest Man in America. Yes, this an actual thing. 

• Remove screen scratches with toothpaste. 

• The 25 best hangover foods and drinks. I knew I'd find Egg McMuffin on there somewhere. 

Overheard on the Titanic

Awww I Wanna Have a Craft Party with MY Friends! (That's Me Whining)

These gorgeous and fun ladies..

... yep these ones right here, are the creative minds behind two of my favorite sites: Sitting in a Tree & Enjoy Events Co. What do they do? Why, they make pretty weddings possible. 

Anyhoo, these wonderfully feminine pics are from their "Kate Spade-esque" craft-party photo shoot where they brainstormed all things wedding, party, and girl. Let's have a moment of silence for the prettyness shall we?

"We think that where you live and how you decorate your home really gives us an idea of your overall style and who you are as a person." 

God I love being a girl. 

Prepping for the shoot.

Some People are Just Really Cool

I wish I could pass these every day on my way to work. A nice little positivity boost by Ana Serrano.
