Spring weather was teasing me this past weekend, so I had a much brighter palette planned for today, but then with a hint of snow this morning, and cold weather lingering, I think I’ll hold off and go for something more handsome. Classic black + wood is usually my favorite duo in a shoe – black leather outer with rich wood wedges. It’s such an everlasting combination in the home as well.

Over the weekend, I needed some new Moleskine notebooks so I picked up a set of 3 with Kraft Brown covers. While working on this post, I remembered a wood-grain stamp I have {similar to this} and decided to decorate the covers.
