As part of the kickoff to holiday hangout time Leo and I watched the movie
Clean by Oliver Assayas. I always hate to be a lover of the heroine chic look, but I can’t help it. Her outfits are amazingly casual and her hair is always perfectly poufy. The added bonus is also that Brian Eno did the soundtrack. Enjoy!

I’ve been paging though the latest issue of NYLON, and I love their focus on
Australian New Zealand’s edgy designers. Above are some shots from Miss Crabb’s
site, I love the paisley-esque print she’s used across her garments.

Okay, so I’m totally delighted that Eley Kishimoto finally has a functioning
website. They are after all one of my favorite design teams ever (I treasure the few pieces that I am fortunate enough to own by them). And to make things even better they have a
blog. Check it out
here. I love this shot of some yardage for their interior projects.

Leo and I were strolling around Williamsburg this weekend doing some holiday shopping when we came across my new favorite shop. Mc&Co is a small new shop located at 57 North 6th Street. It’s a wonderful collection of home and personal objects. Everything has a very warm but pleasantly reserved feeling. It was so refreshing to step into a store full of beautiful things which I had never seen before. These days so many shops carry the same brands, but this store is absolute bliss. This shop was opened in September in by Corinne Gilbert, who is one of the most pleasant shop owners I’ve come across in a while. I advise all of you in the NY area to make the trip out there, I assure you will be as delighted as I am to have found it!

This weekend while participating in the Gift on Grand I met
Ann Wood. I am completely enamored with her beautiful aesthetic and fantastical creations. I love these boats. I strongly advise checking out her website to see her amazing handmade birds. I’m deeply contemplating having some birds custom made for as our wedding cake topper.

I’ve been seeing a lot of wood based jewelry happening lately by small designers. Above (and to the left) is an awesome necklace from
Made in Tandem. Their pieces are mixtures of precious little trinkets, and exotic pieces of wood. Check out their site
here. And if you are in the Williamsburg area on Saturday come down and check their pieces out in person at the ‘
Gift on Grand‘. To the right is another example of wooden jewelry, it’s is a ring by
Enrique Muthuan. I love the idea, but I hate how his initials are etched in there.

The other day my dear friend Zoe stopped by my studio wearing the above jacket by A.P.C. I think I might just be in love with this amazing alternative to the all too casual hoodie. I wish I could find a better picture, this pic from the A.P.C
website does not do this garment justice. For all of you in the Philly area, check out this piece in person at
Sugarcube.

I was paging through the latest
Lucky magazine (one of my favorite ways to unwind) and I realized how much I love Lauren Moffatt’s work. Her dresses are so soft and femme feeling. They mix a sense of romance with a modern sensibility. Check out more of her styles on her
site.

I love the new
Barneys New York holiday catalog. The illustrations by Andy Warhol are so amazingly cute. I love his illustrations so much!

I was paging through
Tiny Showcase and came across a print by artist
Jeana Sohn which immediately caught my attention. It’s so lovely, but unfortunately sold out. The above image is a painting which is on her site. I love the Russian story book feeling to her pieces. They are minimal in coverage but incredibly narrative.
