Shout Out: FORAGE Bow ties

There's nothing cuter than a man in a bow tie!  With that in mind, I'd like to introduce you to the pair that does bow ties the best - the artsy husband and wife who own dapper brand FORAGE. These little gems of handmade perfection come in an array of bright colors all in limited stock. Take a look!

Even BHLDN caught on and started carrying the silk versions of these beauties:

Now for the sexiest man in a bow tie - my husband!  It took us forever to find the perfect bow tie to fit his personality, but I think FORAGE nailed it for our wedding:

For a History Teacher:

An old friend of mine is a newly hired junior high history teacher and I can't think of anyone better to command a classroom!  In my excitement for his upcoming year (and because he is decorating a classroom at the moment), here is a roundup of all things nerdy for his new domain!

Let's start off with a map of Middle Earth:

Inspiration: Wall Decor

A lovely friend of mine was asking my advice for wall decor in her cozy little Chicago apartment. I wish I could post pictures of all my great decor finds in Morris, but I'll just need to drive her out there for a day trip!

Here are some affordable options to spruce up your walls...
