What I bought: BAMBAKO

Just purchased this adorable, feather-adorned headband for $12 from the online shop BAMBAKO. I'll be sure to update y'all with a photo once I wear it!

Though she doesn't have a lot for sale, I absolutely love everything that's in there, so I definitely plan to keep an eye on it in the months to come. Check out her full Etsy shop here.

I'm really digging the work of Paul Costello lately. He's shot a ton of great interiors for magazines like Domino (RIP), Elle Decor, Town and Country, etc. But there's so much more in his repertoire than strictly interiors. Definitely worth checking out.

She's got the look

In exactly one month, I will be moving to Cambridge, subletting an apartment for July and August. And, not surprisingly, what I'm most excited about is that I'll finally get to establish my space. The goal is that by the time I move out to my real apartment (still looking!) in September, I will have established a cohesive style (or at least started one). What is that look? Well, the vision in my head is sort of anthropologist meets professor's study meets houseboat. I realize that sounds like a mess but I swear I'll make it work.
