Things Worth Loving

With the anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, I've had the movie Good Bye Lenin! on my mind. It's about a young man who has to recreate East Germany in his mother's room after she comes out of a coma that she slipped into before the fall of the wall.

And along the same lines, the idea of recreating DDR life in hotels fascinates me! I've never been to Berlin, but the Cold War is one of my interests and I would love to visit this place! Plus, it's super cheap. . .

From the Cold War to Cold War Kids! Not only are they coming to Chicago in January, but they are also releasing an EP that month! You can check out the teaser here. I'm just crazy about these guys!

Totally unrelated: This dress is adorable!!

I have potential to become a DIY nut (once I have more space to do things myself in) and this project looks like it would be fun! These vases (which ran on design*sponge) are so simple, but super cute. And since I have a bottle of wine in my kitchen for that coq-au-vin recipe, I might have to see what I can do.
