Ring-a-ling-a-ling

























Maybe it's a boy! Makes me think romantic thoughts of sitting on the kitchen floor, twirling the cord in my fingers. Being tethered again by a phone cord might help us to sit still for a few minutes out of the day. The Crosley Classic Kitchen Phone.

Pinky Wings





















A pair, one for each pinky. Fly fly away. By Emily Rothschild.

Speaking of Ghosts





















Hug salt and pepper shakers by Scott Henderson.

Ribbed

























Bodum takes a turn at the stemless wine glass. Sturdier than the whisper thin Reidel (which I also love).

Windblown

























Fast Vase by Cedric Ragout for Rosenthal's Studio Line.

Sad Ghost

























So sad. So sweet. Sad Ghost by Marcel Dzama. But now I'm sad because I can't find a link. Stay tuned, I'm on a mission now.

Steve McQueen

















Wayfarers are way back in, even though I'm not sure they looked so great on most people the first time around, or the second, or the third...I'll take Persol's McQueen.

PS Stuga





















Whatever that means. All I know is I've been obsessed with this rug for a long time now and I'd have it already if the %$#@& Round Rock Ikea would %$&(^#@ carry it.

Cocktails

























A perfect cocktail dress by Zac Posen. And a gimlet too, please.

Bauble

























Tom Binns' masterpiece of layers and luxe.

Little Rocker

Neo Country rocker by Ineke Hans for Cappellini. Add a kid for extra cuteness.

Swan Song





















Handsome summer weight wool blankets; year round layering or throw. Made by Joel Fitzpatrick with wool from Swans Island sheep.

Deserted





















Another classic: Clark's Desert Boot. I wish the mens' lighter sand and grey colors were available for women, but I'm told a couple hours in the sun lighten these right up. Cutest with skirts and dresses.

Bunk

I would have killed for this when I was little. The Scoop Bunk Bed by Lilly & Lolly.

A-Buzz

This chair has reached a tipping point, popping up here there and everywhere. I can't vouch for comfort but it sure is a looker. By Branca.

Add Boots

























 - biker boots to knock the precious out of it - and hello Fall*. I love the non-color color. The Liliam dress by Elroy.

*at least in Austin where it's still 85 degrees.

Recoil

























100 feet of electrical wire makes the classic lamp form ironic and fun. By Craighton Berman.

Puzzling























Alexander Girard puzzle based on his carpet design for the iconic Miller House.

Riga-marole

























The Riga desk by Marc Newson for Cappellini. Born of a single pour so it seems, a classic in the making, great for tiny spaces.

Not For The Timid

























Firey drama for a large, spare space. Ikat silk rugs by Ethos.

Hang Tight

"Mass customization" pendant lamps by Austin-based Agi Miagi. Glowy, sea urchiny, organic, elegant, made with 100% recycled content.

Oil Meets Oil

Don't knock it til you try it, Dermalogica's cleansing oil works magic. Especially for oily and acneic skin.

"Eminently Architectural"



















Handmade paints in 80 vibrant shades (no, not all white!), licensed from Fondation le Corbusier. Manufactured by KT Color using 120 mineral pigments - vs a dozen or so in most industrial pigments - according to colors and combinations the architect deemed right.

Graphic Chant

























I love anything graphic black + white, grey + white. The Tufenkian Chant Rug by Laura Kirar.

Peek-A-Boo


















Cute enough for a little show and tell. B-Bra by VPL.

Merino Cool





















More grey, less purple than in the picture. Brown is the new grey is the new navy is the new black, but this is fresh and pretty for Fall.

Octo-pull





















I haven't quite decided where these pulls would work. Maybe a quirky refurbished dresser? Built-ins for an eclectic bathroom? I'll figure it out.

Tourmaline Slice
















Ten Thousand Things handmade jewelry might be my worst addiction. I've never seen this one before. Oh dear.

Camelion
















Concrete floor tiles by IVANKA Studio and Concrete Company. Any configuration or colors.

Death and a Maiden

























Haunting, ephemeral, eternal, beautiful. Robert E. Marx paintings.

For the Birds


















Who among us doesn't need a Pigeon Light? Not necessarily for a child's room - be bold!

Scenic



















I love the irony of toile in a minimal, modern setting. Quadrille makes some great ones.

Dockside





















What's old is new. I had a favorite pair of Sperry's in 7th grade.

By George



















The classic George Sherlock. The one everyone copies - and there are some good copies out there. Pink is best.

Psychadelic





















One of my favorite things, I wear my swirly Paul Smith with everything. I'm wearing it now.

Carrie Me

Club Monaco Suede Carrie Bag. Yes, please.

Mainstream

Even The Simpsons are talking about Banksy.

Clog

























My obsession began last Spring, and I still want the No6.

Hey, Chief

























Elegant, hand-woven blankets and pillows by D. Bryant Archie Textiles. This is the Gabe Chief.

Hooked


























Peter Hook unique, handmade chairs. I wish I could touch.

Etched

Labyrinth

Zen meets doormat

Confection























Vintage Italian Murano glass chandelier, exceptionally sweet proportions.

Better Than a Boyfriend

























A perfect slouchy cashmere sweater from 360 Sweater.

Carter Blue


















For a little boy's room. Or a living room. MY living room. I'll take any Madeline Weinrib in any room.

Go Glo





















Has to be the yellow resin Ironman. Or the white when Timex comes back with that.

Not Socks




















Quirky, fun, unique mangus sleeve rugs by Gan. And their kilims are not to be missed.
