Kate Moss for Topshop

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Everywhere I look it’s Kate mania. But I have to say I love the way Kate Moss’s collection for Topshop seems to look, although anything modeled by her or Irina looks good. I’ve yet to see any pieces in person, but I’m thinking about checking some of the pieces out at Barneys Co-Op (in 8 days they will have some of the pieces). And, the other notable thing is the graphic design on the Barneys site and the Topshop site (both look fabulous).

Headband Hysteria…

Sunday, April 15th, 2007

This weekend I was shocked to realize there was total headband hysteria in the accessories world. I can’t say that I really understand the above example. Every store I went into had these ill fitting lumpy headbands (I know they are supposed to emulate a head scarf without slipping in a Prada-esque way but I just think they look frumpy). This example is from Forever 21.

The second look that ever present was these head-wrap-meets elastic pieces. I think it just looks lazy, I don’t really understand what’s so hard about wrapping a scarf around ones head. This piece is from J.CREW.

And thirdly, I love this. I spotted Joy wearing one of these over the weekend, and it is super cute and looks great with dark hair. This one is from Urban Outfitters.

Cutest tea towels in the world…

Normally I don’t get to crazy over housewares, but I am a tea towel junkie. I’ve got a stash of Vera towels and I’m always looking for more. That said, I’ve very picky about tea towels, but these Mozi designs are great. A friend of mine turned me on to them, and I think these designs are great. I love the unusually strong colors and the adorable packaging. To see more, click here.

I just got the Barneys spring bag catalog yesterday, and here are some of my favorites. Shown above is “Mariah” by Marc Jacobs, in the middle “Nightengale” by Givenchy and lastly (but not least-ly) is Marni’s “Balloon”.

The easter bunny knows me so well, it brought me Robin + Lucienne Day, Pioneers of Modern Design. This book is amazingly inspiring, so many beautiful prints!

Lately everywhere I look there are mirror-y shoes. Here are some of my favorites from Sigerson Morrison (the top two) and the bottom by Nine West.
