I found this guy today.  He’s so cute, I’m torn about whether I should keep him or sell him.

This may be just about the sweetest dress I’ve seen for a while.

These lamps and shades are so beautiful.  They look like so much fun that I am dabbling with the idea of making my own…

Are you familiar with Alternative Apparel?  I was first familiarized with them a few years ago when my husband was looking for a socially conscious tee shirt company to supply tees for printing, and was trying to avoid using American Apparel.   Alternative Apparel started out with basics but just like American Apparel has done over the years, Alternative Apparel is now branching out into hipper luxury knits that rival higher-end lines like T by Alexander Wang, or The Row.  Even Oak NYC is selling their tees.

Wish I could have gone to this exhibit when we were in London in January, but they were still setting up.  If you are in the London area and have ?10 to spare (this is not one of the free exhibits) you should check it out.

This site may be the most inspiring thing I’ve seen this week.  Yes, I know it’s only Tuesday.  Regardless, these are awesome.   Trying to figure out how I can make my own and have it stay together without the use of copious amounts of peat moss…

“The concept was to create furniture for modern nomadic culture. It is easy to setup and pack flat for space saving transportation. The first approach was to get rid of screws. This also gets rid of the tools in assembling the furniture.  T.SHELF uses cable and zipties to tie every triangle into one piece of furniture/sculpture and functions as displaying books, magazines, plants, pictures, or anything you want to display.”

I love that these can so easily be transformed into sculpture and/or functional object.  I especially love the T Shelf and the M Stool.  The use of zip-ties may seem a bit declassé, but if you want to change things around easily, they’re kinda perfect.

Shopbop has some cute sandals right now… I’ve been on the lookout recently because my old stand-by pair of black sandals broke at the end of last summer. I think these Cayman sandals by Jeffrey Campbell are my favourite- super classic yet modern.  I wonder if they’re comfortable?

Have you seen these covers yet?  Super feminine one minute, masculine the next.  A true chameleon.  This is why Tilda is queen.
