*7 happy things*
Today, I am getting caught up on about 5 bazillion things. We've been gone for about 3 weeks (with just a few days in between each trip) so not only is our house a total disaster, my desk is too! Anyway, today I thought I'd share some lovely finds from around the interwebs and also make an announcement!
1. ) I am sooo *super* excited! This is the first of a few announcements this week (and over the next few months), but I feel like it's going to be a brand new start. This blog will still remain my little inspiration book, but there will also be some new features and fun things. Anyway, Wednesday... don't forget! & now without further ado, 6 other fun finds from around the interwebs... *Enjoy!*
2.) We all know about Miss Pickles Press, but something you may not know is that Jen and her husband are packing up and moving out. Soon they will be living on the road in their airstream (you can see their's here) and will be able to claim the whole map for their hometown. This is a total dream of mine (& Husband's of course!) so I've added their blog to my Google Reader and can't wait to see where they end up. You can view the blog here and read the background by clicking here.
3.) There is something I *love* about this outfit. That is all.
4.) I also adore this *dancing* dress and with polka-dotted knickers to boot!
5.) Lately I have totally been digging the illustration style of Ben Aslett, and I would totally *love* to hang those shoes in our bedroom!
6.) This project is pretty amazing! It's *amazing* how small the world becomes because of art. Also, I like the title "artista." You can read about this year's sketchbook project here.
7.) Finally, here is an artist I found because of the project. Her name is Kate.
*Happy Monday!*

*blog finds :: edition 1*
This post was supposed to go up last night, but blogger was acting so crazy it just had to wait until today. I suppose that brings me to a *special announcement!* Next week will be filled with new sites, new projects and new fun things for you! I am *beyond* excited about some new plans in the works and can't wait to get start sharing them with you. For today, however, I am beginning a new segment on le blog to share some of the *amazing* new blogs I've been finding. Let me know how you like it.
Today's blogs are centered around men & fashion. While these are he-geared, I must confess, I am totally jealous of magazines like Esquire & GQ, and I *love* design geared toward men! I have a secret dream of becoming a haberdasher when I grow up so this sort of stuff is right up my alley. So many times, our style is dictated by those around the globe, but you have to love when manly men are just as proud of great design and good grooming as they are to be rugged patriots who tout quintessentially American styles.

blog :: http://www.unabashedlyprep.com/
twitter :: http://twitter.com/UnabashedlyPrepblogger :: F.E. Castleberry
why i *love* it :: Unabashedly Prep is an amazing blog centered around Castleberry's adoration of Northeastern culture and the WASP lifestyle. He writes from Dallas, Texas but could probably teach residents of the Hamptons a thing or 2 about class. This blog was put on my *daily reads* list the moment I discovered it!
where to start :: click on the *Prep Essentials* category to start with the basics like, "Why do I love my Sperrys unconditionally?"
blog :: http://www.valetmag.com/
twitter :: http://twitter.com/valetmagblogger :: quite a few 'in the know'
why i *love* it :: Think Esquire & GQ without the naked ladies, annoying ad cards and the annoyingly flimsy pages. Valet is a lifestyle blog dedicated for men, but even if there is no 'he' in your life, you'll love it strictly for the great design & art.
where to start :: I now start every morning with The Morning Report on my Google Reader. Another tip is this: If you're finding the overload above the fold too overwhelming at first, scroll all the way to the bottom and look through subject by subject.
twitter :: http://twitter.com/acontinuouslean
why i *love* it :: A Continuous Lean is sort of like a collection of really awesome stuff you want to take the time to look through, read and study. In fact, the about page says that the blog is about "things... American things."
where to start :: I would start by looking through the past week of posts and just seeing what you can discover. Also, be sure to check out The American list, a collection of stylish made in America items that I can actually appreciate... not like that stars & stripes bikini at the beach last week.
blog :: http://socialprimer.com/
twitter :: http://twitter.com/socialprimerwhy i *love* it :: Ray writes on everything from manners to liquor. There's a really great Q&A section on the site, and Ray has even opened a shop full of classic monogrammed goods fit for any preppy gentlemen. However, my favorite new thing would probably be the line of reversible bow ties he just designed in conjunction with Brooks Brothers.
where to start :: This article on the Star Spangled Banner. This article on delivering the perfect toast. This article on classic summer styles.
*Happy Reading!*

*style file : the swimsuit*
It seems the South has been a little more hot & icky earlier than normal this year, which, to me, only means one thing... take it off! Here's a little vintage eye candy to get you inspired...

*HAPPY HOT-NESS!*
