Hey there! Happy May! Apparently also known as the start of mosquito season. There are so many creepy crawly things that at least keep to themselves, but mosquitos are big old haters in every way. Last night, I spent the entire evening killing mosquitos. Inside of the house. Eventually there came a point when I thought it was all over. I got into bed with a glass of wine, ready to do some internet-inspiration browsing. I hadn’t been sitting down for five minutes, before I had to get up again and get rid of six more mosquitos (by jumping on/almost falling off of my bed to get the ones that were chillin’ on the ceiling). Something awfully spooky is going on in this house. Multiplying mosquitos? Nope, no thanks.

But nobody wants to talk about mosquitos – let’s look at this cutie instead:

Meet Olive! She lives in Berlin. I strongly suggest you visit this archive of Olive-tagged posts and scroll through every post. She is the most adorable french bulldog puppy I’ve ever seen! Did I mention her name is Olive? Sheesh.

This photograph is part of a photoshoot called Shore Thing shot by Julia Noni Photography for Wallpaper Magazine. It actually takes place in Sochi, Russia! Who woulda thought?

Love these geo glow lanterns from Anthropologie! The May catalog was shot in Mexico City at the home of architect Luis Barragán. Amazing. I sure would like to have access to majestic international photoshoot locations.

Speaking of traveling, have you heard of The Fresh Exchange? It is a blog run by a husband and wife who are all about traveling, designing, and embracing simplicity. I like them a lot. And I especially like this resourceful article on travel tips and tools.
