Nice rack.

We bike over to friends' houses quite a lot, but if we take a bottle of wine, it rattles around in the bike basket. This is a perfect solution!

Personalized wine bottles

How rad are these wine bottles? They would be great to bring to a dinner party or celebration.

Daydreaming

At the start of this beautiful weekend, I hurt my foot, and the doctor ordered me to sit inside with my leg up for both days. It was such a bummer! On the bright side, I finally had time to read the entire Domino book, and a couple friends came over on Saturday night to play games. (I had to wear a giant orthopedic sandal. Nothing cooler than a limping pregnant woman, let me tell you.) Anyway, hope you all had great weekends, and, to kick off a new week, here are a few images I thought you might like...
Lovely San Francisco.
Lavender lemonade.
Julia Rothman's amazing New York subway poster.
This gorgeous bedroom is actually in an English hotel. I adore the black-and-white photograph in a white frame. It makes me want to shop for a fine-art photo (or frame pages of a book).

P.S. Past inspiration photos.

Magic juice

Mmm, this drink sounds so refreshing. (Also, cute hand-drawn font.)

Lipstick on your wine glass

Did you know this little Gourmet-esque tip? If you're drinking wine at dinner, and don't want to get lipstick on your glass (which both looks icky and removes your color), here's a trick: Simply lick the edge of the glass quickly right before you take a sip. Voila!

Red lipstick

Red lipstick is like magic: I love how it instantly transforms the most basic ensemble. At the Prada Spring 2010 show, red lipstick even made pigtails--pigtails!--look impossibly chic. Are you brave enough to try this look? (I'm going on a plane tomorrow and might just do it!)
