Nora Kogan’s line, St. Kilda’s, is as enchanting for the work she produces as for her personal story. Having lived in Odessa, Italy, Australia, and Japan amongst other places all before moving to New York it’s hard to pinpoint the largest influence on her work but by looking at the pieces you know that they […]

Last night I went to a Nest event being held near my office at a store called Matta. There I met many extraordinary women doing really amazing things – two of which operate A Peace Treaty, which currently produces beautiful scarves that are available through their site and at stores in the US and abroad. […]

Another find, this one via All The Best, is Lorely Furniture, founded by Laura Harris. In perusing her site I found many pieces that I really liked, all small-ish tables, and all oddly named after recent ex-flames, seriously…David, Alexander, Duncan… I won’t hold the naming against her – they are all as chic and classic […]

I’m regularly surprised by the artists that operate within a few blocks of my apartment here in New York. After writing about Lonny Photo I discovered Patrick Cline worked a two minute walk from me in Chelsea. In reading about Christopher Spitzmiller I learned he’s just a few short blocks north of me as well […]

I can’t stop myself from jumping, late, onto the Ikat bandwagon. I love that the design is created by dying either the warp or weft of a weave, such a simple change that creates such a distinct, painterly look. In this month’s Elle Decor I came across one I had never seen before from Brunschwig […]

I was re-discovering Nest yesterday and came upon Kate Henri’s amazing handwoven pillows on their site. Nest’s mission is to connect women through art, craft and opportunity. A great concept that they back up through a sort of “pay it forward” system whereby designers select one or two products of theirs to have the proceeds […]

Over at Charm & Chain I’m always discovering great new jewelry designers that I love. Most recently I discovered GS Lillian whose pre-order earrings appeal to my inner- amoeba. I like those in that clean white but also in the more oceanic tones below. Her huge cuffs are great too – though they may not […]

I saw the coolest thing mentioned really quickly on Daily Candy today and I had to know more about Jennifer Kellogg’s Noodle Necklace. She cast various noodles in 10k gold and sells each noodle individually. While these necklaces don’t come cheap – the one above with 10 noodles would fall somewhere around $10,000 – they […]

On mine and Charlotte’s epic journey through ABC Carpet and Home last weekend we also rediscovered John Robsaw Textiles – essentially an Indian block printing textile and bedding company that has tapped into some of the best patterns and resources available. A great little stripe. Shall pattern – terrific. Very Sonia Delauney. A pillow selection. […]

This weekend I had a completely gluttonous lunch with Charlotte at Almond near Madison Square Park. Afterwards we decided to explore ABC Carpet and Home as we were close and it was much colder out than we expected. We were in the mood to try on baubles so we did just that – especially Gabrielle […]
