For the love of Stripes

Daphne van den Heuvel puts her love of stripes to work in this series of fashion illustrations. Along the way, she teaches us a bit about the history of this striking, classic pattern. Apparently stripes were used to clothe sailors and prisoners because of their anti-camouflage nature. If a sailor ended up overboard or a prisoner went on the lam, the stripes would allow them to stand out and be found.

Since Pinterest took over my life lovely Friday became a thing of the past. For that I apologize. Here are some of the favorites from Pinterest this week. 

I love this artists take on America

Welcome to the Weekend.

For only 6 dollars. It just seems wrong. Via.

Antropologie. SWOOOOOONING over their new spring line. Via.

If I could ever dream of being this sophisticated. Via

I wish I was there. Via. 

I am really wanting summery dresses right now! Via. 

Pretty sure this is magical. Yep. Via

A photographer friend took this. He is AMAZING. Via.

I need a new swimsuit. This is definitely in the running. Via.

Jane and I saw the movie Country Strong this week. Don't judge us! It was at the dollar theater. Overall the movie was weird... but both of us are obsessed with this song now. And Garret Hedlund. 


Have a wonderful weekend!

Lovely Friday was moved to Saturday.

Harley found these. I think it's the loveliest thing I've seen all week, and now I'm wondering why wasn't it me who came up with embroidered book covers? Via.

Are words even needed? Via.

Oh my GOSH. Via.

I die. I'm not one for bold, straight lines. Give me anything organic and flowing; that's my style. What's yours? Via.

I know Valentine's Day was last month, but this is so pretty. Now I want to whip out the craft stuff and send someone a love letter. Via.

1. Camilla Belle is stunning. 2. This is my favorite color in the world--icy, smoky blue. Via.

This is a weird shot because it was sent to my email, but how wonderful is that bed? Via.

Again, the organic. What's your style? Via.

This website is full of these adorable illustrated recipe cards, go look! Via.

This makes me yearn for all things summer. Those leaves, the door thrown open, the flowing dress. Via.

Harley is with Boy today, and I'm planning on baking up a storm in the kitchen before No Sugar starts again. What lovely things are you going to do today?

As for yesterday...

The newspaper staff pranked a few people; we did the first ever "Scratch 'n' Sniff" edition of the paper. Ha.

Did you get April Fooled?

x0x0,

jane.

What are your plans?

I think I'm going to plan a tea party. Who wants to come? Via.


This might be the prettiest couple I've ever seen. And I love this photo. P.S. This is the girl photographed for the Bridal Guide with the dress that we all have been drooling over! Via.

Harley and I really like dresses. Like, a lot. And we like polaroids {this one is, even if you can't tell}. Via.


Any words besides...magical? Via.


So cute! Love the dusty rose. Via.


Where is this and when can I go? I'm so ready for summer. Via.


I love everything about this. Bike, her hair, the country in the background {and obviously her dress -- that one's a given}. Look at the whole shoot; it's totally dreamy! Via.



Harley found this. We're so in love. Via.


So colorful! I love Anthro, but this would be super duper easy to make. Am I right? Via.



Cute home decor. Harley and I can't wait to each have darling little houses of our own to decorate to our hearts' desire. Mmmm. Via.
