Well, according to Crate & Barrel. Their new email marketing points us to a lovely selection of products in striking hues of coral and red. Still riding the coral trend, I see.

Hold Everything is closing the doors of all its stores at the end of this month, according to the salespeople in the 68th Street Hold Everything location last weekend. After that, the sale moves online. Selection is already wearing thin. I bought a jewelry box (in white) last weekend and love it to death. Very classic.

I’ve liked Sharilyn’s work for ages, it feels like. All the way since I followed a link at DiK way way way back in the day. Anyway, Lovely Design offers products that are heavy on the handmade tip and also offered in limited editions. Love the tactility of it all and the colors of all the found papers. How Sharilyn finds such beautiful paper to work with is beyond me. I just love her work.

The products at CB2 are simply phenomenal. Take these lanterns, for instance. Battery-operated so that there’s no messing with cords and electrical outlets and priced low so hanging in lots of multiples is a snap. Perfect for rooftop decks and patios or anywhere else, for that matter.

Greer Chicago carries a fantastic selection of stationery, notebooks and writing utensils. I love the large variety of cards, especially the ones from Chicago’s own Snow & Graham. The 2006 Handmade Paper Calendar from Soolip is quite gorgeous as well. Months are silkscreened onto circular cards. Each card slips into a brass card holder. So simple and elegant.

“Fashion in Colors explores color as a design element through 300 years of Western clothing, examining the changing perceptions and meanings of color through various eras. More than 60 costumes are on display, ranging from eighteenth-century court gowns to couture creations by twentieth-century masters such as Balenciaga, Vionnet, Chanel, and Watanabe.” Closes Sunday.
