friday favorites.

here are my favorites for this week:

• citrus gift wrap. i came across this brand, iota, while perusing the (fantastic!) gift shop at the chicago architecture foundation while i was getting ready for our "downtown deco" walking tour (highly recommended). after seeing their wrapping paper with matching gift enclosures and envelopes, i think i can die now a happy, happy mipmup. 33.

• happy baby. i've already disappointed my rather hopeful mother with the news that we're not expecting. she had my "illness" from this week all figured out apparently. i hope i won't disappoint you, too. i just love finding great baby favorites! like this tragically hip crib set. it's so not bears, stars or laura ashley floral. and 300 thread count. tdf! 350.

• in the weeds. this wall-hanging thingie would totally zen-out my space. 112.

• rachel pally dress. i saw sjp in one in an issue of in touch (my mom gives them to me, jeez!). i think i need to fire up my inner satc. 233.

• black cat bar. my better half swears by these. it's all about the nibs. (i typed "b"!) 7.
