Could these Number Plates by Christopher Jagmin be anymore bold, graphic and wonderful? The answer is no. They’re the perfect dinnerware for a typophile such as myself. I would smile and be giddy every single time I had to set the table. And I would set the table.
Design Matters: Logos 01 has a great premise behind it: instead of focusing on type, color and layout this book focuses on how to create logos that are strategy-driven and smart. Perfect for today’s insanely competitive design market and anyone brave enough to enter into it.
I popped into the Gap Sunday to pick up the Luxe Poncho that I was gushing over last week and was pleasantly surprised to see GapBody’s Bath + Skin products all beautifully lined up on the shelves. Speaking as the Product Whore that I am, the packaging is lovely and definitely made me want to pick one of the eight scents for my very own. I held out with much restraint, but think I’ve found something else for my Christmas list.
These decision making coins are brilliant! I love the rough, stamped design and tongue-in-cheek quality of it all. Surely everyone could use at least one of these at some point…
Not to rant or anything, but there’s so much peer pressure these days to tie the knot that I absolutely adore the idea of the Unwedding Ring. Wear it as a couple or as a singleton and make two different social statements.

I think Annie Leibovitz is one of – if not the – most talented photographers of the past century. Her work seems to capture moments of emotion like no other. This year Disney Parks are celebrating the Year of a Million Dreams and chose Annie to photograph the Disney Dream Portrait Series depicting famous actors, actresses and athletes as popular Disney characters. Once again Leibovitz has impressed me with the mood and emotion she is capable of creating in any given photograph. Love these and I’m hoping a series will be released at some point for purchase!
I love the juxtaposition of the harshness of the black lines and the softness of the lush watercolors Stina Wirsén uses in her work. It’s unbelievable the way she mixes realistic, anatomically correct portions of her figures with the unambiguous shapes and color swaths of their garments. Lovely.
I love aprons, but I don’t own a one. Maybe it’s a personal rebellion against being all Donna Reed-esque. The Haute Hostess Apron seems to be something Donna would gasp and sheild her face from which is why I love it with all my heart.
