Even since we took our fantasy trip to Copenhagen last year, I've been plotting how to get a Christiania Bike shipped to me in California. It was proving to be a difficult task...but not anymore. These bikes are now available in America by the name Boxcycles. And that is exactly what it is, a reverse trike with a box in front for toting almost anything. As with most Danish design, this bicycle is clever in function meeting fashion. Find a local dealer near you.
Autumn has arrived...and with it comes wonderful colors of nature. The falling leaves and grayer skies propel me into a Fall fashion frenzy. These smart vintage looks from dear creatures have me smitten.
The prettiest of party dresses and all things lovely are from the newest collection by Mrs. Press. I want one of everything from these pastel confections of clothing. I also love the styling from their lookbook, sweet & sassy, a perfect combination. {via daydream lily}
I can feel the seasonal shift in the air, and I've got warm tones, cozy materials & fall clothing on my mind. The collection by Toast fulfills all of my fantasy fall outfits. Their simple sophistication makes pieces easily wearable & layered with a luscious color palette and a touch of unique charm. Shop their lovely catalogues here.
Thanks to our always in-the-know food savvy friends, we've been introduced to the cleverly delicious Mr. & Mrs. Miscellaneous. This fairly new SF ice creamery offers up some classics plus a variety of interesting creations...the flavors come together perfectly (see flapjacks & maple) and the options change daily. The shop is run by 2 former pastry chefs, so no wonder their peanut brittle is also outstanding. {Located at 699 22nd Street, San Francisco. Photos from here}
Or if not reading, at least fawning all over the beautifully designed covers. I know these have been out in the world for awhile, but as the back to school moment is in full swing, I like to revisit the old classics. There is no better way to enjoy good literature than to own & adore the exquisite collection created by Coralie Bickford-Smith at Penguin books.
Today was a great day. It included a fresh fish lunch, a beach and a jaunt to the Heath ceramics factory store. Heath is truly one of the most extraordinary places full of the most alluring tableware & tile. The quality and style is perfection, and if there are slight imperfections, you can always purchase the factory seconds at a nice discount :)
Pretty neutrals + pastels have caught my eye. As summer and it's brightly colored days are coming to an end, I lean towards softer earth tones. Whether it's the tea stained look of vintage doilies or a studded update on an old oxford style shoe, it's a nice mix of the old with the new. {Antique crochet bundle from here. Sprouting tassel necklace at anthropologie. Linen shopping bag available here. Studded leather brogues from jcrew.}
You can take the girl out of Texas, but you can't take Texas out of the girl. I dream in biscuits & gravy (or biscuits & honey for a little sweet thing). So I am all over these country lovin', screenprinted tea towels by Yee Haw Industries. Available here.
Vintage loves is a new collection assembled by free people that offers one of a kind vintage beauties. Whether it's a delicate, lacy garment or a pair of metal roller skates, there is quite the selection...until it's been snatched up. Many items are selling out fast, so shop quickly & hopefully they'll keep refilling with equally delightful treasures.
After going into visual overload at the recent SF Renegade craft fair, I have some favorite picks from the vast selection of talent.
I adore these playfully illustrated posters by Tinou le Joly Sénoville. Each detailed Bird & Insect displays their colorful, quaint charm. Created to decorate a kid's room, I think they would look equally sweet in a work studio (mine)! Available online at Smallable.
...stella & dot! I've had a great time designing with the talented creative team at stella & dot for awhile now. And am happy to show off the Fall Lookbook, full of gorgeous jewelry that takes a fresh spin on vintage styles and offers a bold look to feminine pieces. Whether it's an amazing statement necklace or a more delicate look, you can find it all. Shop at stelladot.com.
I have swooned & raved over pony rider before... and now they are back with a line of wall decals and hangings. Their products, from design to execution, feel like the perfect mix of pretty and clever. So in love.
Turn up the old transistor radio and have a fabulous weekend! Adore & own original pieces of art by the lovely Ali Douglass.
Pretty vintage styles for summer. Dress from Samantha Pleet's Spring '10 collection, Vintage cluster necklace by lonkoosh, "Rae" oxford shoes at Ruche, Vintage map styling by the Society Inc.
