If It’s Tuesday It Must Be Amsterdam

Claus — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 21:44:44 +0000

Marie wouldn’t need one of these “Wallpaper Travel Guides” to this beautiful city, but for those of us who didn’t spend our formative years flitting from continent to continent, this is perfect. Compact enough to fit in your pocket (so you don’t look like a gawky tourist) it has everything you need , plus a city at a glance aerial cardboard foldout , which comes in very handy.

Fetish

I could just see myself caressing this ring all day, muttering the mantra “BLINDLOVE”, which is what this Danish sterling silver jewlery spells out in braille. $195 From Object Fetish.

Ladies don’t fix their make-up in public, but there’s nothing wrong with sneaking a quick peak with this cute little pocket mirror from Betty Joy. Afterall, if you hair is standing up like a rooster’s comb who’s going to tell you? £2.99.

Wrap it Up

Claus — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 00:54:10 +0000

We just adore the Amy Butler design line, from her fabrics, to the charming “Sweet Life Bags”, to the gorgeous stationary and now her new eco party wrap and gift cards. Made of 100% post-consumer recycled prudcts, you’re only problem is going to be deciding on a pattern. Myself, I’m torn between “Petal” and “Water.”

Stella, Stella, Stella!

Claus — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 02:35:30 +0000

Aren’t these just to die for, daaaarlink? Stella McCartney’s wedge ankle boots would look as as good with a dress as dress-up jeans. $1,395 but think of it as an investment, and a better one than most stocks these days.

A Little Bubbly

Claus — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 11:27:30 +0000

What is life without a some bubbly? Not just the Veuve Clicquot you have stashed ( do we know our readers or what?) but also this stunning Bubble necklace from designers Marina and Susanna Sent, available at the MoMa store.
The Italian sisters belong to a family which has worked for generations in Murano, the ancient center for the production of Venetian glass, but put a contemporary spin on the cluster of glass bubbles necklace, which sparkles with reflected light. For those of us of less than Amazonian height, there is a petite version, which is equally sparkly.
