i thought i’d share some of the pretty things catching my eye around the interwebs today. i’ve been down with a cold, and these bright pops of colour brightened my day. are any of you having a wintery gray day? maybe this will brighten your day as well.

christmas 2010 Toast UK catalogue

November 8, 2010June 25, 2013 Gina @ Oaxacaborn

you expected this, right? i mean, i can’t resist any Toast UK catalogue. but Toast UK+Christmas? ahhh, lovely. this Christmas edition is absolutely dreamy. i’m perusing it while eating gluten-free pumpkin scones, but now after seeing all these Christmas-y pictures, i am feeling an immediate need to go make some hot cocoa or peppermint tea.

a walk around anthropologie and west elm

November 4, 2010October 12, 2011 Gina @ Oaxacaborn

tonight, my love and i wandered around west elm and anthropologie, sipping Peet’s coffee. i love how we can just spontaneously jump in the car after a long day, and go unwind.

i always feel so inspired after leaving anthropologie, wanting to come home and create and redecorate and spruce everything up. window shopping is so much fun, but it’s even more fun to try to recreate the looks at home later (for way less moola). but tonight, i’m making some homemade sushi, not decorating. so while the rice is cooling, i’ll share some inspiring images from both stores…

INSPIRATION :: winter 2010 Toast UK catalogue

October 11, 2010June 25, 2013 Gina @ Oaxacaborn

you’ve not grown tired of hearing me rave about the images Toast UK reveals every season, have you? good. because i’m about to gush once again over their brilliant photography and styling. the fact that they’ve just released the winter catalogue certainly doesn’t tone down my enthusiasm. here in northern california, it’s still hitting 90 degrees. not ok for mid-october, says i. so how about some swirling snow, crisp air, and wooly sweaters to get our minds off the heat?

autumn/winter Toast UK catalogue [house & home edition]

September 10, 2010June 25, 2013 Gina @ Oaxacaborn

Toast UK unveiled their newest house & home collection today! i’m always so excited to see what each new catalogue brings; the photography is simply gorgeous and the products are perfectly, delightfully, european. i love the range of textures, and how the simple colours bring out the beauty in each fibre and thread. i really think i love the current house & home collection even more than this spring’s. here are my favourite autumn/winter images:

August 30, 2010October 8, 2012 Gina @ Oaxacaborn

has it really been that long? was it really spring the last time i talked about the oh-so-lovely Toast UK?! and now, the early autumn catalogue is out. (where did summer go?) in any case, without further ado, here are my favourite images from the early autumn women’s lookbook:
