Jocelyn Warner

The wallpaper from British designer Jocelyn Warner is so gorgeous. Love the finishes and patterns here. Some beautiful botanical inspired stuff as well as freehand scribbles. Lovely color combinations as well. (Why am I so obsessed with wallpaper all of a sudden?)

Five and a Half

Five and a Half collects found papers and binds them into one-of-a-kind pocket sized journals. I love notebooks like these… satisfies the paper junkie in me. They also add in pockets and mini booklets made from leftover papers. Simply designed to really showcase the papers. Lovely stuff. Available in various stores in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Naked & Angry Does Wallpaper

I posted about Naked & Angry before during their Series One which featured neckties made from user submitted patterns. Patterns are submitted and then voted upon by the community to then be made into products. (They are affiliated with Threadless.) The first series featured limited-edition neckties and the second series, which just came out, features hand-screened wallpaper. Gorgeous. Anyone looking for a great source, look no further. There are five patterns to choose from, my two top favorites are above. Lovely stuff. (via Outblush)

Heavenly Scales by Richard Lee. Old Timey Tiley by Ray Fenwick. $60 for one double roll of hand-screened paper that covers 65 square feet.

Behnaz Sarafpour for Target’s GO! International

I heart Cheap and Chic. (Moschino, I heart you too.) I have been loving all these Cheap Chic lines lately. Everyday I seem to hear of a new collaboration. Viktor & Rolf + H&M. Vivienne Westwood and Thakoon + Nine West. Love the combinations. This is kind of old news but a preview of the new Behnaz Sarafpour line for Target’s GO! International that’s due out this fall is up on the Target website. Lots of lady-like loveliness that we expect from Behnaz plus lots of lace inspired stuff. I think it’s my favorite yet. (And I so want that coat and that duffel.)

Lace-Trim Cardigan, $29.99. Taffeta Dress, $44.99. Trench Coat, $49.99. Tuxedo Shirt, $19.99. Lace-Print Duffle Bag, $39.99. Silk Georgette Dress, $44.99. Cropped Tuxedo Jacket, $44.99. Silk Tank, $24.99. Lace-Patch Skinny Jeans, $34.99.

Max Brenner’s Hug Mug

I went to Max Brenner in Union Square last night and had a delightful dinner. Absolutely loved the design in the restaurant and the drinking vessels that are specially designed for drinking the various chocolate drinks. I ordered the Dark Chocolate hot chocolate in the Hug Mug (pictured above) which is a handle-less mug that is designed to be held cupped in your hands. Loved the shape of the mugs and the saucers and the weight and proportions were perfect. The mugs are available for sale at the restaurant as well as the other custom ceramic-ware. Great place, definitely going back.

Max Brenner Hug Mug, $18.50 for a cup and saucer.

Dear Olive

Dear Olive letterpress studio has these gorgeous letterpress limited-edition prints of seashells. Each print is a reproduction of a 19th-century engraving, exquisitely rendered in letterpress. The level of detail is stunning. Love the range of color as well. Also check out their cards, many of which are based on illustrations from the New Yorker and Harper’s Bazaar.

Imperial Volute. Sand Dollar, Sea Urchin, Scallop Shell. Channeled Volute. Solarium. Each print is $45 unframed or $125 framed. Edition of 250.
