Obsessions of the Week

Its been a while since I’ve done an “obsessions of the week“so here we go…

These handmade clutches by a fellow Chicago blogger, Curly in the City. I LOVE them.

This gold and pink lamp on Etsy. Wish there were two!

This AMAZING, Designers Guild pillow I found on Design Manifest

Peonies are back in season!!!! My favorite time of year (via)

Pink lips. Really wishing I could pull them off, I read today that this Mac color is the best. Hmm… (via)

Any new goodies you’ve found that you think I should know about?? Please share!

That lamp is amazing! Could you use it for a desk or something where you would just need one??

And can I just say that, Alexis Bleidel (I think that’s her name), is GORGEOUS! Her bright blue eyes with those pink lips is a knockout combo!

Love the pink lamp and pink lips. You should totally rock the hot pink lips!

I need to get a clutch like that – I especially love the bright red – yum! And I luvvvvv that pink lamp – It should be illegal to ever advertise selling just one lamp. Too torturous for design-addicts like us! And hot pink lips… freaking love ‘em. I may rock the look tonight. Okay I need to stop now! xo
