Head Over Heels In Love With… Edition XI

Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs Resort 2011 Collection (and in particular, these 3 looks)
Because polka dots are always the way to my heart. As are super girly dresses.

F. Scott Fitzgerald Books
F. Scott Fitzgerald Books Covers from Coralie Bickford-Smith
Because these book covers with Art Deco inspired patterns decked out in their metallic finest are a delightful follow-up to her Penguin Classics series I already lust after.

Living/Dining Library/Den
Bedroom Living/Dining
This Apartment (found in HouseBeautiful, click images for larger size)
Because the vibrant palette of purple, red and pink, and the dark and cozy library/den officially make this one of my (many) ‘dream houses’. (Raise your hand if you’ve always wanted a library with a ladder. I can’t possibly be the only one, right?)


Bunny Video
Because this is THE cutest thing in the entire world. I know, I know, I say that a lot, but this time, it really is. Not only is there fluffy bunny-ness, but there is yawning and cuddling and licking and nose wiggling! ♥ Cutest thing in existence!


Venus Welcomes Spring collage by Ophelia Chong
Because the juxtaposition of classical art work and collage is quite brilliant to say the least. I love the vibrant colours and patterns. I would totally buy this if it came as a print.

Stellar Mirror
Stellar Mirror by Jake Phipps
Because even though it would cost me my entire life’s savings, I can’t help it, I’m like a moth to a flame with sparkley things. Can you just imagine the beautiful light patterns this mirror would made?


Swings
Because the 8-year-old little girl inside of me will always squeal and dash straight for them whenever I pass by a playground. Conveniently, I live across the street from one… I may or may not stop there every time I’m out…

Eddie Ross Tablescape

Eddie Ross Tablescape
Tablescape by Eddie Ross (read the detailed story here)
Because who knew hot pink, coral, gold and baby blue could look so delicious together! I would very much like to host a dinner party now.

Ink & Water Paintings
Ink & Water Paintings (by drifted on Etsy)
Because their beauty is in their simplicity.

Veronica Mars
Veronica Mars ♥
Because it will always remain one of my all-time favourite shows. (Still very upset it was canceled.) I marathon the series every year.

Those Marc Jacobs outfits are so lovely! I especially like the first one.

I have always wanted purple-colored walls, and that shade from that apartment is perfect! And I feel like I’d totally buy books for their book covers. :)

A nice deep shade of purple walls would be so lovely! I wish I was allowed to paint my apartment.

I’ve been guilty on a few occasions of buying books just for their pretty covers. It’s hard not to when they’re so beautiful though.

Krissy, I love it ALL. The books — perfect. The dresses, heavenly. And yes, the bunnies are the cutest things ever. I need to watch the video ten more times and then I have to convince myself that I have nowhere to keep a bunny…

I could watch that bunny video over and over and over again. It never stops being anything less than positively adorable.

I have ALWAYS, always wanted a library with a ladder… so no, you’re definitely not alone. Incredibly jealous that you live across from a playground with swings, I would go there all the time. I’m with you on the Veronica Mars front… marathon it every year (sometimes twice, haha).
And I’ve totally fallen in love with those paintings. I’ve seen some similarly done, and I’ve even tried to do something like that myself (turned out horribly) but anyways… so gorgeous. I love the simplicity of them… there’s also something dream-like about them.

Libraries with ladders are so much cooler than libraries without. Though even without, a home library would be pretty rad.

Ditto! I marathon Veronica Mars quite often. That show will never, ever get old. I really hope they make a movie!

Those Penguin Classics covers are oh-so pretty! I especially love the ones that they have for Jane Austen books. Also, seeing those photos of such pretty rooms really make me feel like a slob because my room is not at all decorated.

I totally share your love for swings. (I even own the fanlisting for them, haha). They’re just the best things ever – everytime I go to the park I spend at least an hour on them. And have fun with your VM marathon – such an awesome show!

I love those Austen book covers too! Every time I see them in the store, I have to seriously restrain myself.

I didn’t know you had the swings fanlisting! I will have to go join now. Swings are the best. :)
