leonardo da vinci said that “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

i am definitely getting on board with a more simple approach to life.  cleaning up, clearing out, decluttering, organizing, using simple and clean design elements…a little bit of less is more.  i am already making the shift into a spring mindset. trying to clear out the mess and lighten things up.  {p.s. who is super excited for the j.crew spring collection?  me.  that’s who.}  there is something so lovely about the understated.  classic elements that mean something.  not just things for the sake of things, but things that tell a story.  what statement pieces are your favorite?  what does your story look like?  what does your living space say about you?  here’s to a quest to become more sophisticated through simplicity.

add this to the list for our future trip across the pond.  we are gonna have a ball on our sometime-in-the-future-when-we-have-plenty-of-cash-and-time-not-to-mention-the-mental-emotional-fortitude-to-travel-with-a-wee-one-trip-to-the-uk, i tell you!  we are most definitely staying here.  the oddfellows is the ultimate spot to “dine. drink. dream.” gotta love that tagline.  plus, it is perfectly lewis carroll inspired!  classic yet quirky.   modern with a vintage twist.  delightfully whimsical yet luxurious.

this is a bit of a love letter for all the fabulous nerds out there.  to all of you who love office supplies.  who have a very particular pen preference. who own a daytimer.  i am talking, old school, pen to paper, calendar pages daytimer [or filofax, if you are rollin' swanky like me].  who believe that only college ruled paper will do.  who put everything in binders.  who highlight.  who make checklists to maintain sanity.  who collect post-it notes.

this post is for you. 

for those of you who believe that organization is truly a form of art, i give you a vibrant post-it installation.  a work of art inspired by the ultimate staple of organization, the post-it note.  a badge of honor for to-do-listers everywhere.  this piece of art is for you.  because, you appreciate it, in all its color-coded, remarkably constructed glory.  from one nerd to another.
