Highway 1 Revisited

On Friday my beau and I are taking off on a long-awaited West Coast vacance. We're spending a week in sweet old San Francisco, sprinkled with a couple nights under the stars in Big Sur. These views make me wish I could blink my eyes and be there already...

Doug Johnston





It was love at first sight when I came across Doug Johnston's line of cotton cord accessories. That tote! It would make such a perfect summer carryall for bike rides to the beach. And the trivets and baskets are so clever and naturally beautiful.

You've probably glimpsed Vahram Muratyan's beautiful graphic comparisons of Paris and New York during your travels around the interwebs. But have you seen the book?
