Peeps Show

I love me some Easter. One of my favorite things is the Washington Post's annual Peeps diorama contest. Not only do I love the soft, sugary taste of Peeps, I especially love miniatures and dioramas. I'm always amazed at the creative and fun scenes people come up with. While none this year were quite as good as last year's Up diorama (seen here), these ones are still pretty sweet. Happy Easter weekend everyone!

Ratatouille Concept Art

After my trip to Disneyland this past weekend, I’ve been looking for some inspirational and beautiful concept artwork for our house. I stumbled upon some shots from Pixar’s book The Art of Ratatouille and they are amazing. Until I can find some prints, I’m putting this book on my immediate wish list. Ratatouille is one of my very favorite films, combining my loves for Paris, food, and Pixar’s magic.

I love the warm weather rolling into Phoenix and I can’t wait for the first swim of summer. I’ve always been a fan of more conservative swimsuit fashion, so it’s nice to see many great one-pieces available this season. Love these four from J.Crew and Anthropologie.
