these happy prints do more than just look good - lilly pulitzer teamed up with nine celebrity moms to create women’s and children’s looks to generate awareness and support for the epidermolysis bullosa medical research foundation. a percentage of the sales from these designs will go to the ebmrf and lilly pulitzer has also made a generous donation to their cause.

nautical salad plates from wisteria.
crazy cute, crazy cheap jewelry from forever 21.
"season of love" by shiny toy guns. i know this is super corny but it always makes me smile because it was playing when chuck told blair he loves her.
the lobster life - my friend's adorable new blog about life, love and the pursuit of crustaceans.
juicy couture viva la juicy. i tried almost every perfume at sephora and this won by a landslide. and honestly even if it didn't smell good i probably would have bought it just for the bottle.
madewell's ex-boyfriend jeans. i want to wear them every single day. (and melanie, i thought of you because i did a happy dance in the dressing room when i tried them on!)
numéro and jalouse, two magazines i can't read a word of, but you know what they say about pictures.
guy fieri's chop chop salad.

apparently there were enough unsatisfied responses from the locals to bond no. 9's graffiti-ed brooklyn bottle to prompt them to give the public a chance to create a new design. the design can be any style and any medium, it just has to fit within the outline of the bond no. 9 superstar flacon, include their circular “token” logo, and, obviously, be inspired by brooklyn. the deadline is march 31st, and two winners will see their designs go into production with their names on the bottles, and receive a bottle of brooklyn every month for a year! go to bond no. 9 for the full set of rules and to download the bottle template, and let me know if you enter- i'd love to see your design!

we love stephen sprouse too

2009-01-08T14:03:00.009-05:00

marc jacobs' collection for louis vuitton in homage to stephen sprouse coincides with a sprouse retrospective at deitch projects in new york from jan. 9th - feb. 28th and the publication of rizzoli's the stephen sprouse book (a limited edition of the book with a special louis vuitton graffiti cover is also available at louis vuitton stores). inspired by their 2001 collaboration, the collection includes clothing, bags, and other accessories. i love that the inspiration for the original collaboration came from a louis vuitton trunk that marc jacobs found in charlotte gainsbourg's apartment, which her father had painted black and the monogram just barely showed through. from there he got the idea to modernize the iconic louis vuitton bags by "defacing" them with graffiti, and brought sprouse in to help him. there's a great interview with marc jacobs in harper's bazaar, and lots of info, photos and videos at welovesprouse.com.

'bears are very nice, as long as you are nice to them,' mused lagerfeld, as self-aware as he is iconic."

"gap has commissioned renowned paris boutique colette to create a special one-month installation in gap’s rotating concept store adjacent to the new york city flagship store at 54th and 5th avenue. the colette x gap store will be open from september 6 through october 5, 2008. this exciting endeavor marks the first colette store in the united states, making the brand’s sought-after items available to u.s. consumers for the first time ever. similar to the parisian store, colette x gap store will offer a mix of hard-to-find products from around the world and cater to an ever-evolving mix of genres and tastes alike.
replicating colette’s paris store concept, colette x gap will feature a combination of unique and sought-after colette products, otherwise unavailable in new york city, along with items created especially for colette x gap. these exclusive products – ranging from stationery to exclusive pieces of art – will be available to customers at a wide range of price points.
products will include (but are not limited to):
- limited edition colette collaborations: oakley sunglasses, starter jacket, uslu airlines nail polish, le labo fragrance vanilla 44, domestic vinyl stickers, hello kitty watch, asics tiger sneakers, etc.
- limited edition gap tees with prints by paris vs new york artists
- exclusive products by designers invited by colette to transform gap iconic items and materials: trench painted by famous artist andré, french artisan anne-marie herckes featuring miniature versions of gap classics, denim jackets customized by olympia le tan, andrea crews’s mixed tees, repetto bb shoes or alexis mabille bow bag in classic heather grey jersey, etc.
- souvenir products by kuntzel + deygas who’ll create the visual identity for colette x gap as well as the videos featured in the shop."

awesome doily cards from pretty bitter.

how bad does this picture make you want frosting? i bought the book cupcakes! largely because of the delicious photos in it by france ruffenach, and there's lots more on her site.

this week is not looking good for blogging, my friends.

dream wedding

2008-06-30T12:56:00.002-04:00

friends of my parents went to a wedding designed by colin cowie in the hamptons recently, and as you can imagine, it was absolutely gorgeous. the photographer, laura novak, did an equally gorgeous job - you can see some of the photos in her blog posts here and here, and she created the inspiration board shown above.

bitten

2008-06-30T12:15:00.003-04:00

i got a bug bite on wednesday, which turned out to be a spider bite, which apparently i am allergic to, so my foot swelled up to about twice its normal size (i'm not exaggerating), and the last few days were not enjoyable. so i'm sorry, charlotte...but i officially really hate spiders.

when i think "sperry topsiders," this is definitely not what pops into my head. when did they get so cute?!

it's like they know

2008-06-25T15:04:00.003-04:00

sometimes the internet freaks me out. i was poking around the ny times fashion & style section, and hello slide show of long dresses! at those prices they're making the anthro one look cheap.

oh anthro

2008-06-25T13:34:00.002-04:00

i la-la-love this dress. but $158? boo. has anyone seen a cute maxi for cheaper?

victoria hagan

speaking of beach house decor, i came across these great accessories by victoria hagan for target. (shown here: nantucket stripe pillow, marina coaster set, eastham storage tray, beach glass hurricane.) if, like me, (hopefully i'm not the only one who hasn't heard of her?) you said "who is this victoria hagan?", you should check out her web site, because it is gorgeous.

love these rooms decorated by the ladies at montauk beach boutique tauk (via the moment). beach house decor is my absolute favorite. i'm filing these away under "someday when i have a house and lots of money with which to decorate it." have a great weekend!

i got toast's catalog in the mail the other day, and it's gorgeous. i want to live in it.

i love these wedding photos from the times, how cute is it that they rowed away in a canoe? i really like his suit and her dress is beautiful but actually looks comfortable too.

a new yorker's view of the usa

2008-06-18T13:18:00.006-04:00

i found this print online but the photo is pretty small so i did some googling to find a better image, and it is hilaaarious. i had to get it. naturally, new york takes up about 1/3 of the country, pennsylvania is a city inside philadelphia, san francisco and hollywood are their own states, and lots more. anyone who lives in/near nyc will definitely appreciate it. check out the larger version here.

whoa...more cuteness! make sure to read the note at the bottom and the descriptions of the ones that aren't pictured.

i saw these puppies on frolic! earlier in the week and now i can't stop thinking about them. i usually don't spend that much on shoes so $244 seems like an awful awful lot...but i really really like them so i'm super torn. on the upside, while i was browsing the toast site i found their gorgeous desktop wallpapers and now my screen looks like a sunny jungle.

what's that? all my favorite sofas look the same? yeah...i noticed that too. but at least when i go to buy one i'll know exactly what i want! (just fyi, this guy wraps up unofficial sofa week...i kind of exaggerated when i said i would be posting a "lot" of sofas. there were a lot that i liked, but very few of them are shown online.)

i'm not usually a big fan of wallpaper but these are just gorgeous.

the ladies behind this line used to have jobs in business consulting and forensic anthropology...can we say multi talented? it looks so good i doubt they're regretting the career changes. (and i love the model's hair.)

i like this one for three reasons: it's low to the ground (i like to be able to plop onto a couch); it has coordinating benches for books, food, etc; and the seat cushions are super big.
