Random Hearts: Riding your Bike!!!!

Hi there, fave and cutest readers of Things We Heart... we have a riddle for you....

What is the oldest, chicest, most fun, super eco friendly, cutest, best for your bod, and in LA...SF...and NYC the fastest way to get around town and get all your most importante stuff done?

No...not a silly Segway (gross)

.... riding your bike!

Most of you probably already have one or can easily and recessionista-ishly get one pronto so we will spare you a list of our go to faves or TDF wishes cuz we are pretty darn sure there are 1,000s of amazing ones out there and hey...who's got the time?

Oh wait!

There is one we are absolutely freaking out over and lusting after and it's not a whole ton of moolah! And if you happen to talk to a certain Mr. TWH...tell him I have been a super good girl and even though I have a bike, this one is different!

And PS it's not the Chanel one so that's good ;)

And the piece de resistance?.....

This Build a Bike from URBAN!!! Soooooooo cute! Here is the one I want...

They have 2 different styles and tons of color combos...but since my dream is to live at the beach...it's best to have a crusier too! Right? Greedy? Hmmmm...

Or we will both take one of these gorge and not cooccoo expensive cruisers from Micargi!

Like a vacation on a bike!

Ok...now that we got that out of the way...here are our all time fave accessories for your bikes.

And trust us...they are all super cute, totally must have, and like always very friendly to your wallet! You're are so welcome! And worth it ;)

You can't have a bike with out a basket. I mean, how are you supposed to go to the farmers market, or store or get your necessities with out a basket?

Our go to is always a vintage inspired wicker strap-on basket. It fits on almost every bike and the best part? It comes on and off!

You're right! What if your pooch or kitten needs to go to the vet or loves a ride around town? How do you do that on a bike?

Like this!

Riding in style!

OK, there is a super rad influx of night riders lately....no sillies not that kind...

this kind...

So you need to get rad wheel lights!

We found these super ridiculously insanely give me now rad ones from Hokey Spokes! They change colors and can do pictures when you get over 7 mph!!!!!!!!!!!

How cute!!!!!!!

Oh...and you need these to keep you safe too ;)

And the last thing to get your bike super ready for all the summertime, eco friendly, body lovin, cutie bean riding your going to be doing? Besides a helmet...

A great and big bell!

Like a horn for your 2 wheeler...

See? You CAN have it all and it's good for you and mother nature...Get out there...off your tush and ride a bike!

P.S. Don't have a bike and don't want a crusier (if you have hills don't get a crusier)? Ebay and Craigslist are great places to start your search!

P.P.S. We didn't put all of the cute baby seats on here since there are sooo many and super important you choose the right one. Many are not rated to be safe so do loads of research!

OK...stop reading this...get outside now and ride into the sunset....

Decor to Die For: Love feeling grey!

OK,

So first Miss Me & I were in search for the perfect grey couches and chairs...one of us lucked out and one of us, well....but I am fine...I will be ok with my pearly pick.

Then I became obsessed with painting my dining room grey but could not get my sweet love to trust me.

Then one of my fav ladies needed to redo her super cute apt and we decided dove grey walls and a charcoal grey couch would be divine for her 1920's meets Parisian Chic aesthetic...

So that can only mean one thing....

1+1+1+1 = Suuuuper hearting and coo coo crazy loving grey (or is it gray?) for anything Decor-y!

22 Bond St ottomans and amazing chesterfield couch!

If white goes with everything, and black goes with anything then that means that grey goes with anything and everything! (See white + black= grey)

wow...hi super perfectly fun yet relaxing bedroom!!!! yummy pop of yellow and love the b&w rug too!

It can be calm and serene or amazingly chic and rich..lets do this!

I think for the sake of this post (OK, for my sake and sanity) we will categorize this post into well..categories...

Let's start with the easiest way to lurve thy grey...on thy walls.

Oh geez...you had us at silver mums! Come on...why do you have to torture us...it's ok...we secretly love it ;)
This gorgeous wallpaper from Wallnut Paper is TDF! Yes please to the 3rd power!

Well, well, well perfect dining nook! How chic and beautiful are you with your stone grey walls and bright white moulding and chairs!

indie home

Oh gosh...breathe...breathe... the pale whispery grey on these walls with the pop of bright colors against the crispiness of the white and black furniture accents kills me!!!! (in the super good way!)

bye bye Domino...we super dislike your owners for taking you away....shame on them!

Uggghhh it's perfect and sooo unfussy and totally chicly comfortable....yum.

p.s....don't forget how amazing grey looks in closets!

K, now that I am going to buy some grey paint and take over the living room after those last 2 pics, I think the next best place to go is the next thing Miss Me and I are suuuuper lusting over...grey couches and chairs.

Yummmmmm....we hearty heartville stripes...and grey stripes on a curved wood settee from Wisteria? Yes and Por Favor!

It's soooo sleek and vintage and so, "Oh, we just picked this up at a street market in Paris..." "My upholsterer did it...yeah, it really livens up the space"

Um, I'm sorry...are those RUFFLES!?!?!? Oooops..sorry to yell.

It's just the mix of masculine grey fabric with girlie ruffles really gets us crazy! It's sooooo good! And the vintage shape!!! COME ON..give us a break!

Thank God it's from London so we don't have to worry about worrying how we are going to get it.

Speaking of vintage shapes...

This vintage repro settee from 22 Bond is de-lish! Throw on some JA pillows for pop and you are the chicest lady in all the land...

And for all you modernistas out there...need a modern sofa with out the cold hospital feeling?

We found this great and bright and fun modern couch for you. It's so clean looking with out the sterile feeling. The dove grey will totally lift up any rooms vibe.

Next up on the grey lovers train is a pic of one of the yummiest bathrooms we have ever laid our grey hearting eyes on...

decor pad

OMFG! It's sooooooooooo perfect! Love the pops of turquoise! I'm totally going to copy this one.

It's soooo greyishly, modernly, chicily, monotone-y fantastic!!!!!

One thing that Miss Me and I have learned i our search for the perfectly imperfectly decorated home is that nothing sets the tone and brings together a room better than a rug...

Loving the mix of yellow and grey in this super cute Thomas Paul rug.
The boldness of the pattern married with the chic softness of the grey makes for a very rad and very fun rug. You may not even need furniture with this...just saying.

So this next rug is what happens when you are trying to combine the ideas of your sig. other and yourself...MAGIC! (sometimes)
I mixed me and my bfs ideas on this custom Jonathan Adler Brit rug and cross your pinkies that he will love it as much as me! I loooove mixing pink and grey. It's perfectly hard and soft.

Look at this unbelievably, fantastical, amazing Madeline Weinrib flat weave rug!!!!!
It's the perfect mix of modern and moroccan, crisp and calm and just spectacular!!!!

Ahhh the bedroom...it's a place for relaxation and calm (well, that and making babies!) so it makes perfect sense to have serene, grey furniture there too.

Loving this Industrial Chic, brushed steel Steamer Trunk from Restoration Hardware!

It's soooo Joe Vs The Volcano (oh come on! if you don't know what we are talking about, then you have some very important homework to do!)
This could literally go with almost any aesthetic you have!

You know why they call these fainting couches? Because they are soo glamorously cute you faint when you see them..ok maybe not but this deep grey one from Urban is amazing!

Put this on a blank wall you have in your magic room or living room and you will probably use it just as much as your bed...NO sickos! ..not like that...for cuddling and reading...geez!

Hi there, super yummy upholstered nailhead bed! (that we left the tag on).

Imagine being enveloped in this super cozy and utterly chic bed! We lurve the white crispy sheets against the charcoal velvet!

Not ready to go the distance with it? Afraid of commitment?

Here is one of our most favorite posters/Art ever! We heart and want this suuuuuuper bad...hint hint ;)

Village is an amazingly secret spot we hit up for great prints that no one (not even our shmanciest of friends will have) really knows about...you're welcome and shhhhh!

P.S. Sorry for the repeat offense today (it's a good one at least!) Miss TWH had a looong day yesterday and couldn't quite get her polished paws to finish the one she started...next time!

Don't be cloudy...go grey!

xoxo t.w.h.

Fashion Friday: Short Stories! We heart cute summer shorts!

This post is officially gonna hurt our wallets so we hope you like it as much as we had fun putting it together.

Although in most of the Northern Hemisphere it is known as "Summer" here in Lala land it is nothing short of January...goose bump central.

The kind of weather that when you shave your legs so you can wear your brand new cutie mcgootie shorts and you go outside and poof! All your leg hair grows back!

But we digress...it's summer time!!! Wooo hoooo!!! Time for bikinis (uuuugghhh!), mani pedis, flip flops (yum!) and ...shorts!!!

But these aint yo' mamas khakis, or your sisters ill fitting thigh sticking bad boys...

These are the bew "cool" breed.

See how much we heart you!

Remember how much we lurve lurve the new sweats? Well get a load of these fantastical sweat shorts! At first glance I wanna throw on some mucluc slippers and a boy tee and be done with it....

Then...at closer glance I realize the genius that are these Monrow cuffed shorts...

Pair with a cute boy blazer, v neck tee and high heeled booties (like the A. Wang-ish ones below)

and watch out Miss Moss...here come the TWH readers!

Topshop...hurry up and get here already!!!!! We need a pair of these micro heart print 80's duds!
These are begging to be paired with a slouchy tank or off the shoulder (good) tee and these uber cute SM oxfords and you are sooooo RTG!!!

OK...seriously Urban O? Why do you do this to us? WHY, why, por que??? Ughghghghghghghgh!
Perfection! Bravo! Scalloped edge high waist shorts? FU and can we have? And the styling?

YUM!!! You had us at...well you have us! Now we will have those shorts!!!

Wooooohoooooo! Think board shorts are just for for hot, tanned, toned surfers? Not anymore ;) Thanks to these Gryphon Sequin badboys.
These are dying to be worn to a fantastic party with a blazer and great fucking heels...not these horrible ones they have here. (For shame Shopbop...for shame).

And for the naturalists who just heart a great pair of denim cut offs in the hot days o' summer (and winter if paired with tights). We are crushing on this perfect pair of rolled A&F shorts.
Sooo great! Buy a couple of sizes bigger for a "Oh, yeah my boyfriend is sooo cute...he let me cut up his jeans for my shorts cuz he loves me sooo much" look.

These shorts would love nothing more than a great top and pair of flips...or better yet? A great tee, a bright bra and a pair of great wedges (not the slutty kind!) like these rad oxford-y ones.

So pack up those mom shorts...those boring Gap ones you wear when all of your laundry is dirty and embrace those gorgeous gams that Mother Nature gave you...wear some cute shorts already!
