Make It: Pom Pom Magnets

"let them be little" print available in the print shop!

We have a thing for magnets in this house (see the DIY for those fun metallic alphabet magnets here). They're a great, quiet activity for Lorelai to rearrange while I'm cooking and they allow me to test out prints before I'm done rendering them for City Paperie. While we've been obsessed with our shiny letters lately, I've found that they aren't very strong and we needed a few more sturdy options on our fridge. Enter pom-pom magnets.

I'm a firm believer in this quote...

... and thought our house was definitely lacking a few poms.

Interesting in making your own? Here's what you'll need:

  • yarn (any color you like)
  • round magnets (you can find them at the craft store)
  • fork
  • scissors
  • hot glue gun + glue sticks
  • this tutorial for making mini pom-poms

happy pom-pomming!

Designer Spotlight: Stone Cold Fox

Since the web was a little short on worthy links this week (what can I say? some weeks are just more notable than others), I'm checking out for the weekend by sharing a few gorgeously styled images...

Sometimes I come across a brand and instantly fall in love. If you've been following along for a while you'll know that the quickest way to my heart is a neutral color palette. Throw in a little lace and I basically want to marry Stone Cold Fox and live happily ever after.

Well friends, we've reached the final look in our Anthropologie shoot and it's by far the most conceptual. We had so much fun dreaming up this story and ending with hair-turned-nest seemed like the perfect little sendoff. Our model was definitely one with the birds by this point!  You can consider this the beginning of things to come on Chelsea & The City and expect to see a few more projects in the coming months...

I'm so grateful to the Anthropologie team for letting me play dress-up and giving me creative free-reign on this project.  I'm incredibly humbled to have the opportunity to work with one of my favorite brands!

This shoot definitely would not have gone so smoothly without the help of our amazing little team (and some sweet feathery extras). I'm smitten with the idea of creating beautiful images with friends!
