It’s been a while since I’ve found a frivolous object that I truly lusted after, but here one is! I’m totally obsessed with these elephant champagne flutes by Siecel, which can be found at Vivre.

While browsing Cool Hunting, I came across the beautiful jewelry of Erica Weiner.  Using an array of non-precious metals, her line features nature and antique inspired charms and trinkets.  If your in the Philly area, you can pick up one of Erica’s pieces at Vagabond.

Louise Loves…Missoni Pre-Fall

I don’t know if it’s a new thing or what, but I love how style.com is showing a selection of designer pre-fall collections.  Out of all the collections displayed, Missoni’s is by far my favorite.  With Mary Tyler Moore as it’s muse, the collection features an adorable fusion of mod and preppy styles.  My favorite piece is this amazing short-sleeve sweater, which wonderfully demonstrates the label’s signature knitting capabilities.

Louise Loves…Kirk Hiatt

I recently came across the amazing illustrations of local artist, Kirk Hiatt.  Since working for MoonblooD, I’ve grown quite an affinity for wolves and love his graphite interpretation.  My favorite, however, is this sharpie and india ink abstraction.  Check out more of Kirk’s work here.

I’ve been on an Adrian Tomine kick lately, so I’d love to get my hands on one of his older graphic novels.

I’m pretty much obsessed with Kidrobot, and really want one of their Munny by You toys. Each DIY Munny comes with a free accessory, markers, and a coloring book.

I really like the t-shirt collaboration between Nylon and Urban Outfitters, so I definitely want one of their limited edition tees. This one is designed by Jonathan Zawanda.

I’m in love with these cute custom monogram necklaces by Danielle Stevens. I totally want to get one with my new initials on it (since I just changed my last name to that of my husband).

And here is another item on my wish list, by Miss Sixty. I had a pair of boots from Urban Outfitters in a similar style which I wore so much I had to have them re-heeled 4 times. But in a 5th attempt to get them re-heeled, I had them dropped off at the shop. But unfortunately I don’t know which shoe repair shop they are at, or where the ticket stub is. So, that being said, perhaps I need to get this pair!

Jcrew Dog Sweaters…

While doing some holiday browsing, I came across Jcrew’s doggy wish list. Their tartan plaid leashes and sweaters could make any pup look well-behaved. I think Joey would look best in these two preppy numbers.

Tinsel Tape…

I’ve been very slow to get into the holiday spirit this season, but adorable creations like Tinsel Tape may help cure my case of the Scrooge.  You can pick up a roll, and tons of other amazing knick knacks, at Atypyk.

Guerilla Art Kit…

I recently bought illustrator Keri Smith’s new DIY book, The Guerilla Art Kit. The book hones in on the concept that art is for everyone, and shares tons of fun guerilla art installation ideas. My favorite project was the “You Are Here” map, which can be created by simply mounting a map of your town and then pointing out your location with markers or stickers. Your can check out Keri’s blog here.

Louise Loves…Splatter Prints

I’ve been noticing scribble and splatter prints all over the spring runways, including the Miss Sixty, Abaete, and Phi collections. I love how Phi interpreted the trend into their ombre cardigans, which were paired with amazingly androgynous suits. But since I tend to go the more casual route, I chose this super graphic version from Urban Outfitters.

I’m in love with cashmere. I just recently got a cashmere sweater by Line, and I’ve been wearing it everyday. So, I’ve come to realize that I need another one! I love this cardigan from JCREW.

And this conversational print is so cute! I might have to get this dress to wear for Christmas Eve!
