stereomood

Super excited about this new-to-me internet radio sensation* called stereomood that lets you choose a radio station based on your mood. Favorites thus far include Melancholy, Sunday Morning, and Summer (for obvious reasons).
The playlists are comprised of old, new, and waaayy-cooler-than-I'd-be-capable-of-finding-on-my-own songs, but all of them are very well suited for the designated mood.

from the site:

behind every song there's always an emotion. we don't know why but maybe that's why we love music.
so we've created a way to suggest songs that follow your feelings: stereomood is the emotional internet radio, providing music that best suits your mood and your activities.

*if it wasn't before, it is now. I declare internet sensation.

summer skirt-o-my dreams

Dear Gap pleated chambray skirt,
You are well on your way to becoming my best friend this summer. Not too long, not too revealing, and your spacious pockets make my heart sing. Thanks for the removable bow-belt and lightweight knits. I have a feeling we're going to get very close these next few months. It also helped that Gap had an additional 40% of skirts and dresses.
love,
Frances

tasty, tasty lobster

As mentioned over on How About Orange, the Lobster font is too lovely to pass up. TONS of ligatures and options -- I love when things this thoughtful are free. I can't wait to try it out!
