obsessed with…merchant + thread

Merchant-and-Thread-rack

I admit, my job does have a serious occupational hazard, buying clothes! But hey, it’s a work expense right!?! With access to so many good shops and style resources it’s hard not to cave and grab something from the rack for myself. While shooting for Merchant + Thread the other day, I had to try on this fantastic indigo jacket. Merchant + Thread is an online shopping site curated by Kathy Ha’o, a fellow So Cal native, globe-trotter and style obsessed mama. Her finds range from brand name deals to one of a kind pieces from her travels. These beautiful bags are a favorite from a recent Thailand haul. Kathy’s sense of bohemian style and surfer chic look are what make M+T such a gem. With beautiful photos (check out the rad behind the scenes shot she took below) and simple stories about style as a personal expression, M+T has become a daily read and shopping site for me. Hope you enjoy it too. Happy hunting.

Special thanks to my partner-in-style Marisa for letting me play dress up with her, so early in the morning.

Bib-necklace

A new favorite necklace, which I haven’t taken off much since purchasing.

Coachella-wristbands

The fancy presentation our Coachella passes came wrapped in. Wish it looked more like this one, but I’ll take it no problem. You can follow this weekend’s debauchery on my Instagram.

Nature-Box

Nutritionist approved snacks from Nature Box. Arrived in this beautiful packaging, almost too pretty to tear into. But we did anyway-yum.

Orange-blosom

Fleeting orange blossom from a tree in our backyard. So fresh and so clean.

Basic grab from Planet Blue.

Wine-cups

Genius wine-to-go cups in my favorite flavor.

A vintage camera prop.

Welcome to Obsessed with…, a new series on C&B. When trying to come up with ideas for content, I often end up with a bunch of things I’m obsessed with at the moment that don’t necessarily tie in to a theme, project or anything in particular. They’re just things I see here and there that inspire me. I capture them with my iPhone, take them from the inter web or if time permits shoot them with a proper camera. They’re things I find myself going back to again and again and often times they spark new ideas. Sometimes they just bring a little pretty to my day or a reminder that life is good. What are you obsessed with right now?

 

Light study. Note to self, bright window light=dark circles begone!

Helium heart balloons and rafter ceilings.

Jessica’s ombre, seriously considering.

A dreamy candid of the girls. Yeah they’re like this all the time. I WISH!!!!!!!!!!!
