Dale Chihuly, one of the most innovative glass artists (in my humble opinion), will be exhibiting at the New York Botanical Gardens beginning June 25th until October 29th. His work evokes floral form so elegantly with gorgeous color and fantastic surface treatments on his glass sculptures… I can’t wait to see it in a garden setting. I’ve only seen his work once in person (a glass chandelier at the Mint Museum, Charlotte, North Carolina) and it was truly stunning. I am so looking forward to this.

Just got a lovely email from Peek Keep. How adorable is the name?! So fun to say and so fun to look through this site which “celebrates organic form and functional design.” Such beautiful porcelain tabletop and adorable porcelain jewelry. The pieces above are from Casalinga in Copenhagen… creamy porcelain and fun painted patterns. Fun summer jewelry.

I love glass objects. I don’t know why. I saw the above while lingering for the millionth time at Resto‘s site today. These Grand Scale Jars are so gorgeous. The shape is so elegant, much more refined than the shapes I’m used to seeing. Even the simpler Apothecary Jars are cleanly designed and proportionately perfect. If only I had a huge bathroom to put these in…

Restoration Hardware is one of my all-time favorite stores, mostly due to their undying dedication to timeless elegant style. Their textiles are consistently beautiful and I particularly love their selection for outdoor textiles. The outdoor pillows shown above come in five colors with coordinating beach towels. The towels at Resto are the softest things I’ve ever used. Lovely stuff all around.

The Morning News has a perfect example of why I love living in New York. Ten writers (and one illustrator!) chronicle one day in their lives in One Day in New York City. Very refreshing to read on a break from this very crazy day. Enjoy.

More Hermés love… this time in the form of their printed beach towels. Spectacular color and level of detail. In time for some serious sunning in the Hamptons? Perhaps. Outrageously priced? You could say something like that. Beautiful? Absolutely. (via Something Stylish)
