instant love

Technology is a funny thing. The more addicted I become to Instagram, the more I miss my old Polaroid. After seeing so many beautiful images on the blogs of the folks I met at Alt Summit, I’m inspired to become a better photographer myself. So I might need this adorable camera bag to help me tote around my gear. Now I just wish I knew where she got those tights.

Apparently I have a thing for white cameras (here and here and here). Especially when they carry the torch for old school Polaroids (things just haven’t been right in the world since they went digital). Bring back mini instant photos and make my bulletin board happy again.

Wait, Lady Gaga is the creative director of Polaroid? So random. But I totally want the first product they are unveiling this May: an instant mobile printer that allows you to add the iconic white border with a push of a button. I’m your biggest fan.

Today at Urban Outfitters, I bought two more pairs of these shoes. (Yes, they were featured in Lucky this month, but I had them first! Dibs! I’m an original style spotter!) You should buy them too. The low heel is perfect for running around after two kids; the round toe is perfect for looking pulled-together Parisian.

But this post is not about shoes. It’s about the extra $4 I needed to spend to get 20% off the shoes. (In case you’re wondering, enter GIFTED as your coupon code, then FREEBIRD for free shipping.)

Because it’s the holidays, and I really should be buying things for others, I ended up choosing three gifts for three very different kids. For $34.95 (before 20% off, natch), here’s what I bought:

1. Polaroid Notes, for our babysitter by day, artiste by night; 2. WTF Snowglobe, for my defeatist 17-year-old cousin; 3. Ouija Board Keychain, for his superstitious 13-year-old sister.

I’m a sucker for any shop that calls themselves a “general store,” because they’re usually treasuries of mishmash, glorious depots of unusual finds jumbled together by their owners. The Ruck Rover General Store, located in Perth, Australia, is just such a place: run by sisters Claire and Isabelle, they’ve curated a shop filled with small, indie designers from around the globe. They feature a rotating cast of things that they love: today’s finds are Lomo t-shirts by Heavy Rotation, and oh so hard-to-find Polaroid film. For lazy summer days, I’m in love with this crabby Supermaggie tee, and for beachy nights I want to pull on a Tomorrow Never Knows hoodie. Their collection of Moe Moe jewelry is a shop bestseller, and they even carry a sweet little wooden Maru kookaburra brooch. Of course, the girls at Ruck Rover ship to the US, and they’re offering us 10% off any order through the month of March with the code misosouper, which makes their already good deals (hello, exchange rate!) even better.
