Joy‘s Nantaka Joy e-commerce site is now live and it’s so gorgeous. Love the product photography and, of course, the products themselves! So far on my wishlist? The I Love… Notebook and the Metallic Card Sampler. Congrats, Joy!
(Foreground) I Love... Platinum Notebook, $12.75. (Background) I Love... Copper Notebook, $12.75.
Thought these would make such a great chandelier for a party. Each balloon is lit by a small LED light (which I suppose don’t get as hot as conventional lights.) and is powered by small batteries which last up to 100 hours. I love the clustered organic look of these.
Kit for one balloon, $30.
Lately I’ve been loving the detail J. Crew has been giving to their clothes… enough so now to warrant the prices. The new holiday catalog dropped in my mailbox yesterday and I have to admit that I am so swayed… pretty photography and perfect locales seem to always get me. (Reference all the previous posts regarding Anthropologie.)
Not to mention the clothes themselves are just getting better and better. Now obsessed with the ruffle-necked silk halter, a sweetly pleated sweaterdress, the silk-satin frame purse, the graphic shirtdress… so much more, Lord I’m getting carried away. Peep it all on jcrew.com. (Jordan’s got it bad for the Crew too… see her faves here.)
From J. Crew Holiday 2007. (I tend to like black clothes...)
Tiphanie Brooke of Antigirl emailed me with the wonderful news that she has completed her latest collection of collage. This collection, titled Bleed Deeply, features ton of vibrant color. Like her work before, I remain totally in love.
Prints and limited-edition lithographs of her previous collections as well as her line of handmade books are available for sale on her site.

I can’t believe I’m getting holiday catalogs at home. Well. I can believe it considering I’m wrapping up all the Christmas advertising at work right now but if we’re planning to drop ours after Thanksgiving the lead time for West Elm must’ve been bananas. Anyway.
I spied this desk set and loved it… High gloss black and white? Of course! The set is also available in gold tones and red tones.

Loved the work of Michelle Rago, an event specialist based in New York. Attention to detail and innovative use of materials for various event elements are so interesting. The above is from a wedding held in Manchester Village, Vermont.
