[Things We Adore Sunday] Daylight Savings, Japan Relief, Sears Fashion, Cute Chairs, Bikes

1. Even though it's raining here in California, I am loving that spring is just around the corner! And daylight savings time has just begun. That means nights full of debauchery. Or maybe just falling asleep with the sun still out.

2. People rallying to help out those who have lost their homes and family members in Japan. To join the relief efforts, look into donating to the Red Cross or other similar relief organizations.

3. The FCUK line now sold through Sears. Who knew Sears was secretly planning ways to be cool again? I also love their Apostrophe line. I've stocked up on all their basic T-Shirts (so comfy and they really move with your body).
This dress: $45. Oh yeah.

4. Lovely cozy chairs that you can fit in small corners of your bedroom. I'm in the market for something like this right now (from Nathan Furniture in the UK-- I don't even want to know how much it would cost), and I'm battling between my urge to have new and pretty things and my propensity toward the eco-friendly reupholstering an old crappy chair option. Oh, decisions, decisions.

5. Weddings that incorporate bikes. I've always wanted to do something like this. Now if only I could find a boyfriend who would put up with all my neuroses! Then we could ride into the sunshine together on our vintage bicycles.

[Things We Adore Sunday] Cookies, Photos, Handmade Bags, Flea Market-ing

1. This cookie recipe, which I added pecans to. They bring out the caramely, brown sugar flavor. I also suggest topping them with some sea salt and using Sharffen Berger 70% cacao chocolate chunks (I bought these at the Ferry Building).
Only the Best Ingredients
2. The beautiful photos on The Makers Project. 

3. Beautiful, handcrafted leather purses from a.b.k. Custom Leather Craft

4. Alemany Flea Market on Sunday Mornings

[Fashion Attack] Red Velvet Vintage Online Shop Opened Yesterday

...and I'm so in love with it, it's not even funny. I've been thinking about buying this dress, called "The Navy Librarian" (and a cute necklace to match, but not wear at the same time, of course). The dress is just so tailored and cute, and yet it's totally work-appropriate without being stuffy. I hate stuffiness, but I love the stuffiness of libraries. Aaanyway, check out all the rest of the adorable vintage clothes, accessories, and decor here.

I also just learned they offer cool e-courses in crafting and blogging and they're working on their own dress line. I adore these women. They're all up on the latest technology and yet they wear clothes from the 1970's. Those are the kind of contradictions I love to embrace.
