Spotted

Last weekend I helped my dear friend Julie at the One of Kind Show in NYC. While I was mainly stationed at her booth, I did get a chance to peruse some of the other artists' work...here, a few favorites:

First, Julie's stuff because she's the raddest of the rad!!!

All available at JuliaFailey.com

Paste SF (from San Fran, obvi) is helmed by artist Denise Felder. Love the puppy mugs!

I almost bought a cotton tote from Grey65....

I ran into Lenni while picking up a few glasses of wine for Julie and I to sip and fell in love with her birch-inspired pottery. See more at Birchpottery.com

Hey baby! What's your sign?

Dying over this editorial spread from British Vogue.  This is exactly why I love what I do and the people who inspire me to do it better!!

I'm partial to Virgo for completely self centered reasons (it's my sign). What's your sign? Do you love that page??? Or are you ready to switch to a new sign? Leo is pretty cool.

Oh, I won't forget.

Forget Me Not scarves.

Lust worthy. 

Cire Trudon Opens in NYC

The oldest candle company in the world, Cire Trudon, just opened their first store outside of Paris at 54 Bond Street and the Bowery here in NYC. Not only are the candles my hands down favorites, the design of the store is worth a visit alone just to soak up some inspiration. Take a look inside here:

Print Lives

I was in my personal heaven last week as I walked through The NY Art Book Fair at MoMA PS1. It was three floors packed with hundreds of international presses, booksellers, artists and publishers with varying art books and magazines.

If you missed it, don’t worry, their site has all the exhibitors listed with links to each site, so you can comb through and Ooh and Aah too.

Below were some of my favorite pieces that I came across. I loved them so much I had to take them home with me. Hey, we have to support the printed form of art!

Praia – Coastline photos from south Lisbon taken by Jane Wilson. I love that the images look like they could be from any moment in time. Not to mention, they make me really want to go to the beach.

Book Of Houseplants and Book Of Rocks from Miniature Garden - Artwork by Ariel Dill and Denise Schatz and designed by Miya Osaki. These are cool because they are a mix of photography and sketches, plus posters.
