1. Beautiful (and handmade) cashmere/merino blend socks. Wish I had the Jenny's patience and skills to tackle a pair of my own.
2. Art in the icicles, with Jim Denevan. More here.
3. A priceless rooftop view with the most beautifully saturated colors. Can only imagine sipping cappuccinos up there...
4. Seeing spots...in a very chic fashion.
5. Raw food made to look quite tempting (and downright delicious).
6. White dish sets, linen towels, potted succulents and raw wood — my kind of kitchen.
7. The vibrant and inspiring work space of illustrator, Chris Silas Neal.
8. A little bit native, a little bit modern...gorgeous bracelets by Dull Diamond.
9. Inspiring modern architecture spaces that are completely at one with nature.
10. Say yes to fresh squeezed juices. I'm convinced they helped cure a nasty cold I caught this week. And they just make you feel so good.

I've been dreaming about a seaside escape for vacation next year, with my mind set on Vancouver Island (namely thanks to these guys, who introduced me to this). This photo beautifully captures the simple essence of life on the ocean.
