Friday Favorites

August 2, 2013 by Carla

Happy Friday! Here are a few of our favorite things for this week:

Tea Towels: These vintage-inspired tea towels from Target have an adorable spoon motif. If you love the print as much as we do, there’s also a matching apron and oven mitt.

Hukkster: This website tracks your favorite items and lets you know when they go on sale. They even have mobile apps that send you push notifications so you don’t lose a minute!

Pleated Tote: This tote bag DIY doesn’t look terribly difficult but we’re not very savvy with a sewing machine! Can we just buy these from someone? Because we’re kind of in love with these totes.

Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 40: Putting oil on our face ON PURPOSE still seems like a weird course of action every time. Still, it surprises us that a lot of oils work great without making your skin a greasy mess. This product in particular is a new fave because, well, what’s not to love? Am argan-oil infused lotion with easy absorption, SPF 40 protection (from zinc oxide!) and no sunscreen smell!

West Marin Food and Farm Tours: Do you live in San Francisco like Carla? Or maybe you’re planning a trip? We just learned about these tours taking place in Marin County (home of some of our very favorite shops, like Cowgirl Creamery) and we can’t wait to embark on one of their adventures ASAP. We’re super interested in the Cheese Lover’s Tour and the Oyster Lover’s Tour, but they have something for everyone!

Ryan Calloway Jazz Art: Love jazz and love prints? We’re seriously digging these offerings from SF Artist Ryan Calloway and can’t wait to inject a little jazz into our home decor.
