Boy With a Coin by Iron and Wine. This isn’t a new song, but I’m definitely listening to it a lot lately, and the dancing in the video complements the song perfectly.

While I’m often not a huge fan of ultra modern homes - I feel like they usually sacrifice warmth and character and actual livability for a sleek “cool” factor - I have to admit that this Austin, Texas home remodeled by Mell Lawrence Architects is really grabbing me. The corrugated metal siding adds just the right amount of texture, and I love how the house is arranged over two levels.

These macarons (from Canelle et Vanille) look infinitely appealing to me right now.

Sequins + snakeskin print + ballet flats = My cursor is hovering over the “buy” button and my finger is dangerously close to making that click.

Karbon Slab Stencil: A little bit friendly, a little bit industrial, and very nice to look at. I need to find an excuse to buy and use this font.

I’m really loving this poster for Yonder Mountain (whose music I’ve never even heard, but that never stopped me from being into a band’s promotional artwork), designed by FarmBarn. The texture, the moody colours, the way the buildings peeking through the trees look slightly sinister - it’s all pretty awesome.

This is cute.

Theorem, a thoroughly modern twist on Art Deco-style scripts. I love how it manages to be equal parts curvy and sharp – very eye-catching.

A beautiful routine by Olympic ice dancing gold medalists Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. This is actually an old performance - it’s from the 2008 Worlds and not the Olympics - but it’s really too beautiful not to share. Tessa’s costume is gorgeous, and the program is basically an epic love story played out on ice.

Things I’m loving about this room: That fabulously dark and moody wall colour, the ornate border around the ceiling and the way it contrasts with such a simple fireplace, that painting, and the painted wood floor.

Things I’m not so into here: That horrible hairy footstool, the statue in the corner, and the uncomfortable-looking chairs.

I get the feeling that these bowls (from Anthropologie) would make pretty much any kind of soup look and taste better. They’d also look pretty great just sitting around and beautifying your kitchen counter.

My latest song obsession: Breakbot’s remix of Runway to Elsewhere by Pacific! It’s got a pretty catchy beat going on.

(And just in case you’re wondering, that exclamation mark is actually part of the group’s name.)
