These hand-knotted pieces from Muntedkowhai on Refinery29 are to die for. I love the simplicity and texture.
Loveeee the necklace. And the earrings, for that matter. But especially the necklace.

Need a shark-sitter for one of those ‘last minute weekends’?I have been looking for someone to take care of my Duck-Billed Giraffe and an 11-year old boy would be perfect for the job, because of its short legs.
I would hire this kid. First, get Gizmo puppy!
Kid signs are really my favorites. And yes, the Quirk collective needs a canine. I’m in need of puppy faces on my Dashboard a few times a day.
so cute

» Esquire's Best New Restaurants List.
I don’t agree with this (hate Sho, love Laconda Verde, like Corton, don’t love Marea) list entirely, but are some good national picks. I often forget that good food exists in the US outside NY & SF, but it DOES.
I’m excited to try Lemaire in Richmond, VA (my friend Michael developed this restaurant), Bedford Post Inn in Bedford, NY, Bottega in Yountville, Bazaar in LaLa land, Nopalito in SF, and Perla’s Oyster Bar in the lovely Austin Tx.
Shockingly (or not shockingly), not a single Chicago restaurant made the list — again. In my previous life, this irked me to no end. I don’t know if there are any new, amazing restaurants in Chicago that deserve to be included on this list. I do know, however, that Nopalito doesn’t hold a candle to Contigo or to Flour + Water.
That said, if I could, I’d probably eat the carnitas at Nopalito every day, if I could.
Total dud of a year for Chicago restaurants, L’opster. With the exception of urban belly, I can’t think of anything notable that opened this year.

The Office: “It’s suggestive to women because they’re howling during sex.”

I went to an event tonight with a friend, and the girls behind us were talking about the photographer one of them hired.
“And get this!” one said. “It says in his contract that he — or rather, him plus any other assistants he might have — has to be fed a hot meal!”
I, fortunately, rarely encounter this backlash but when I hear about it, it drives me nanners. I get that it can be pricey, but there is someone…working on their feet….carrying around about 50 pounds in equipment…for 7-12 hours…for your benefit….in a room or venue that they cannot leave…
I shot an event recently at a place that shall remain nameless where the venue (note, not the couple) refused to give my assistant or the videographers water. Yes, water.
Glamorous life, indeed!

Considering jumping ship and buying this Mac Russian Red lipstick. I’ve wanted RED red lipstick for a while and it will look nice with my Halloween outfit.
This is my preferred red for everyday wear, not only Halloween.
Recommended!

Postage stamp update: The standard 28 cent stamp is a polar bear….yikes
So…I looked into photo postage. It is about twice the cost but it would have our engagement photo right there on it.
Not sure if its a good use of my money!
provided you have a clean, crisp (professional) photo, they are actually really cool. one of my clients did it and sent me one and I thought it was really neat and it stood out. if it’s not the best photo (low res or not sharp or not awesome colours) it might not be worth it.
you can also get stamps in small amounts and stick a bunch of them on the envelope. Another set got all these little vintagey stamps in small amounts and stuck about 10 on the envelope. Looked so cute and definitely set the tone for the rest of the pieces.
