Watercolor Thank You

If you follow me on instagram, then you might have noticed that I recently collaborated with the lovely and talented Anna With Love on a fun photoshoot! Although I can't tell you what the shoot was for just yet, I can tell you how completely smitten I was with the entire process. Anna is truly skilled at what she does, and made me feel so at ease and comfortable during the shoot. As a thank you, I gifted her the little watercolor doodle above featuring some of the things she loves most (as evidenced by the following snaps from her instagram account):

1. Paris: Anna recently launched her Paris Collection featuring amazing fine art photographs that she took. Just look at all the gloriousness:

2. Pretty Coffee Table Books:

3. Photography (and her little Polaroid Camera):

4. Macaroons: (The girl has made the motto 'Life is Short, Eat Dessert First' a rule I love to live by!)

So thankful that this lady has entered my life - this doodle is but a small token of my endless appreciation! Thank you Anna!

A Tall Stack of Books

Did you guys catch Alaina Kaczmarski's tour on The Everygirl (which she co-founded!) last week? I love everything about her apartment, from the archways, to the neutral colour palette, to the really really tall stack of books:

This book stacking is a technique that Alaina used in her old apartment as well:

I love the look! At first I worried that I would knock them over daily, but then I noticed that if you look closely the books are actually supported by a rather cleverly hidden bookshelf.
This also means you don't have to unpile a million books to get to the one at the bottom.
While Alaina got hers at West Elm, The Everygirl sourced similar shelves from CB2 and Design Within Reach! Perfect for book lovers like myself.
