October Love&Inspiration

My Blue&White Kitchen

HERE WE GO AGAIN... MY OCTOBER FAVORITES! ENJOY.

» Any animal that touches this lake turns to stone. Creepy and fascinating at the same time.

» Dark green & mustard yellow. Normally not "my colors". Lately, however, I've been daydreaming about dark green tweed sweaters and mustard infinity scarves. Have to make it happen.

» My new wool coat from Samuji {a creative studio and design house based in Helsinki, Finland} made me happy. Now, winter {and snow and storms and all those snowstorms} can come. {I also love their Fall Winter 2013 video}

» I'm totally fascinated by this post about homemade tofu. 

» On repeat.

» I made this sweater (in gray). I love it! Currently knitting: a red tweed sweater from Jonna Hietala's fantastic Kerällä book. Only the sleeves are missing!

» Homemade spoon butter.

» On my Christmas wish list: The Kinfolk Table cookbook.

» Some of my favorite blog posts.

» "Buy this year's BLOSSA glögg". Done! And let me tell you, it tastes _amazing_

» This article made me so incredibly sad. 

» Ferm LIVING's X-MAS Collection. 

» I was at my dear friend's 70s themed housewarming party. Now I'm obsessed with Twiggy eyes.

» Donna Hay Magazine's Black & White issue. I know, I know. I'm late. But hey, I just got it!

» DIY gold mugs - I just *died*

» These lookbooks from the UK-based TOAST. 

 
I'm driving to Helsinki tonight with some of my most favorite people to see the National play live. That said, I'm going to leave you with this song. Have a great weekend, everyone!

September Love&Inspiration

It's time for the first Love&Inspiration post, a monthly series where I'm going to share with you some of the things I fell in love with and that inspired me in the last 30 {,29, or 31} days. Besides that I love to read other people's favorites lists, I'm a huge list-maker myself. I can make lists of nearly everything imaginable - to-do lists, to-cook lists, to-buy lists, to-listen lists, to-.... Post-its are my friends. Moleskins are my trusted fellows. Oh and have you tried stone paper? You really should! {new obsession}


Here we go... September Love&Inspiration

» The Swedish designer Monika Förster developed these beautiful Tower measuring cups for Alessi. Such a cute addition to my kitchen!

» I'm deeply in love with the new Weather Diary Collection  from Marimekko which is inspired by the Finnish weather phenomena. I mean look at the colors {painted by Aino-Maija Metsola}!  I'm lost for words. I've been doing some serious window shopping lately... You should also read the story behind the collection. They talk about the beauty of rain. Yes!

» Dorie Greenspan talks about why she bakes. This woman. Her enthusiasm and love for food is pure inspiration.

» The flavor combination of dill and stone fruit. I'm in!

» The hunt. So true, it's almost embarrassing.

» This post.

» Can we talk about nail polish? It's that time of year again... The time to wear Chanel's Rouge Noir. Beauty investments.

» Fall music.

» The gorgeous fabrics from by nord. I fell for the moose dish towel the moment I saw it. You have to know, I'm totally into rhinos and moose - I even have a big white rhino standing on my windowsill... True story.

» 40 must-see photos from the past.

» This picture of a sea of tents made me smile.

What are your September favorites? I would love to hear some of them!

 

Side note:
Tomorrow, it's October! Can you believe it? September went by so fast... I'm looking forward to wearing my yellow rain boots & chunky knitwear, hiding under an umbrella, witnessing the beauty of fall colors, burning candles, and foraging mushrooms. October will be good.
