Ever since my husband and I got an iPad two weeks ago we’ve been on the hunt for a good case to carry it around in. Initially we were planning to purchase the Apple microfiber case but reviews were so-so and after seeing it myself I have to say I’m not too keen on it. I did however spot this handsome little felt case on Etsy and think our search may be over.

I adore the modern simplicity of this case as well as the little added leather detail for just a touch of style. These cases are designed and created by Angie Davis of Byrd & Bell and can be purchased through her Etsy Shop.

I’m beyond in love with the photography of Rosanna Anson. I first spotted several of her Circus themed pictures on ffffound and saved them to look at from time to time. There’s something so beautiful about the way she uses color and props to tell a story in a single shot. Be sure to check out the rest of her work, it’ll leave you speechless.

Claudia Griffiths was kind enough to send over some pictures of hair accessories from her new Spring-Summer 2010 Bridal line and I have to say, I’m totally in love! What beautiful details and simple silhouettes! I can even see these being the perfect embellishment to a special event long after the wedding.

Claudia also carries headbands for everyday wear and I particularly like her Silk Flowers design. You can see her entire collection and purchase them all in her shop. Thanks Claudia!
