Luxury Chicks

 

Ahh, November. Changing leaves, dressing in layers, gearing up for the holidays. And the prime season for our fine feathered friends. I can’t help but think that these Luxury Chicks – shot by Peter Lippmann – might be more comfortable as dinner guests rather than dinner itself.

Happy Weekend

 

Hello! My name is Jen and I write the blog, Honey Kennedy. I’m happy to be here while my pal Kelly is immersing herself in Italian design and culture (read: I wish I was with her! Ha.). Magnifico! Brava!

I’ve been pinning a lot of design inspiration lately and thought I’d share some of the lovely things I’ve pinned. I love this season most of all! It’s all so good — the cozy fashion, yummy recipes and, of course, nestling in at home always rules. Have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for hanging out with me today. Come visit me on Honey Kennedy sometime!

1. I love this pink clouds print by Debbie Carlos. I bought one — it’s gorgeous!

2. These London Gardens earrings by Janine Arnold are so cool. And that cat looks fierce.

3. These herb drying outtake photographs from Parker Fitzgerald’s Kinfolk Magazine shoot are magic.

4. My sneak peek of a beautiful collection from one of my favorite designers, Colenimo.

5. This lavender hot chocolate recipe is so simple good. I like to add extra lavender!

6. I love this spear basket from the glorious new Ferm Living collection.

7. I LOVE this tile work by Studio Too Good. LOVE.

8. I have this wonderful lamp from Schoolhouse Electric. The craftsmanship is absolutely incredible.

9. A fantastic little polka dot handbag from Made by Hank.

10. I love this dining room from an Elle Decor Italy shoot in Saint Tropez from 2010. The chairs!

11. These Arcos earrings from Stone & Honey are so strong and elegant. Her designs are beauties.

12. I definitely want to make this Guinness beer cake this fall! YUM!!

Gem and Stone

 

Macro photography is like a private investigator, revealing everything we take for granted or never knew about an object. Jen Altman’s Gem and Stone: Jewels of Earth, Sea, and Sky does just that with 50 different gems, from diamonds to petrified wood. The stones’ chemical makeups, metaphysical properties, and associated folklore accompanies each and every one. My coffee table just put this book on its’ Christmas list.

Instant: The Story of Polaroid

 

If you were born any time before 1985, chances are you have memories of having your photo snapped by a Polaroid camera. And then the even more exciting event of watching it slowly develop from the murky depths. I can personally state that 95% of the pictures taken of me before the age of 7 are Polaroids. It was such a huge part of our culture. The original instant-view photos, long before digital photography and Instagram.

 

 

Instant: The Story of Polaroid by Christopher Bonanos takes us back through the company’s creation and rapid rise to fame, from the small beginnings of Edwin Land’s garage startup to a multi-billion dollar company. I loved reading about artists falling in love with Polaroid, and my heart broke a little taking in the bankruptcy all over again. If you have the love for Polaroid that I do, or know someone else who might, this is a bookshelf necessity.
