Side Eyes

Today's Friday's Detail features a playful little coin/key purse from Anya Hindmarch. Her products just make me happy, and I can't argue with that. I love anything that can make the inside of my bag a bit cheerier and more organized (not to mention protect the smooth interior leather of some of my bags from getting scratched by keys).



I'm all about trying to find the best deals when it comes to international designers – if you don't mind international shipping, this is the best online price for the little guy. And though Matches doesn't have the exact model, they have some very cute other options that are over 30% less than U.S. prices.

A paperclip for giants

Today's Friday's Detail features a brass paperclip from the studio of Carl Auböck. I've been eying this guy forever and finally bought one at The Line as a pick-me-up. It gleams so beautifully in the light; though, I've learned the hard way that it can cause scratches or leave black marks if you actually use it as a paperclip! So I'll just rest it on the page as more of a paperweight instead.



I've also included this in my swoon worthy list for the lovely Athena's site, Eye Swoon. There's a little fun q+a with me in there too!

Iris Hantverk Brush Set

Not that I needed an excuse to share this little tool that makes me really happy with you, but the Friday's Detail series felt like a perfect way to introduce it. I've been mainly using this brush on my kitchen counter to clean up coffee grinds. My grinder tends to make a mess and this brush is much chic-er and more economical than wasting paper towels every day to wipe the counters. I think it's so beautifully designed that I'm more than happy to leave it on my counter as almost an art object. If only all cleaning utensils could be so functional AND easy on the eyes.

Mustard and navy

In an effort to create more content and keep my creative juices flowing, I have come up with these mini-series like this one and this new one launching today, called Friday's detail. Who knows if I'll fail and end up with a bunch of one-post things that don't make a proper series, but I'm definitely trying. Below is a recent favorite color combination of mine, manifested in this skirt that looks more like Marni than Cos and this ribbed mid-sleeved sweater.
