Muted Candy Stripe Bed Linens

These are really nice.

Heaven Can Wait

New from Beck and Charlotte Gainsbourg (Beck looks so infantile with this haircut).

Compete

Just stumbled on this, The Hearst 8x10 Photography Biennial. For all of my budding photographer friends (there are SO MANY of you!).

Political Fictions

New York magazine has started doing this little series called the Political Fictions Project, in which they invite seven writers to submit short stories featuring contemporary political figures. They're also asking for submissions from us laymen, in case anyone is interested. Filing this away in my "wish I'd come up with this" list...

Check out the latest story by Adam Haslett titled "Nightwalk": With Afghanistan on his mind, the president leaves the White House grounds and encounters a stranger...

Persane by Yves Delorme

I was walking past Pioneer Linens yesterday in downtown West Palm and saw this bedding in the window. So da-bomb.

Zac Posen's New (Cheaper) Line...

They are calling this "hipster". I call it "lunch-counter chic". And I mean that in a good way. I'm liking the looks of this stuff, specifically the one pictured below. Complete slideshow at WWD.

Me gusto mucho Almodovar

Pop-culture leaves...

Loved this little "study in leaves" in the New York Times. A fun Sunday afternoon crafts project if you ask me. See the whole series here.

Good China Bad China

Fine bone china featuring 7 deadly sins and 7 contrary virtues in prussian blue script. Set includes 12 dinner plates and two serving plates, or can be bought in pairs for $49 at Generate Design. From Remodelista.

New stuff at Coach

I've never considered myself a Coach fan, but they have some cool stuff lately (disclaimer: I'm in the market for an evening bag).


amanda metallic leather drawstring bag: $198


poppy feather crossbody: $298


poppy sparkle leather mini t-lock cross body: $138.


Amanda Satin Jewelry Roll, $98 (great gift idea, this one).

So what if it was a weave?

It was still so hot...

The Sartorialist is Nailing it

My good friend Claire gchatted me today with "I'm in a man phase. Check out the Sartorialist". (Disclaimer: I'm always in a man phase). The new Sartorialist photos make me want to belt a pair of men's corduroys, roll up my sleeves and light a cigarette...

Dori Csengeri- I'm a wannabe collector

So I returned from a recent trip to Austin with a renewed obsession with Dori Csengeri. There is a store on S. Congress called Maya and frankly, their clothes leave something to be desired but the JEWELRY! They have a great selection of Csengeri and I've decided that it's all I ever want to wear. It's high-end (but decently priced), colorful or not colorful, unique, amazing, incredible, i love it, it's awesome. Check it out.

Guilty Pleasure, So Guilty

I can't help it. It's so wrong. But I'm posting it anyways.

Campers- High and a Little Higher, Brow

What is it about campers that incite such wanderlust? I see an airstream on the side of the road and visions of a "Wonder Years" silent film footage trip cross-country ensue- me, the man of my dreams, a golden retriever, good barbeque.

Ah, dreams. In the meantime, check out this camper eye-candy.

This "wagon" as they call them in Britain can be found marooned in a Cornish meadow, where the family of 6 who owns it vacations. They bought it at a roadside sale in mint condition (the family who owned it previously had all of the upholstery covered in plastic). Courtesy of The World of Interiors.
