Peeped these alphabet blocks over at House Industries and immediately fell in love with them. There’s something lovely about tactile, carved childrens’ toys. These are exceptionally beautiful with different suns, letters, words and a puzzle piece on each side. (The puzzle forms a cute picture of a factory inspired by the work of famed Herman Miller textile designer Alexander Girard.) Fab stuff.

I love looking at Kate Spade‘s website. So many great things to look at aside from the pretty accessories including her new section Behind The Curtain which showcases various projects she’s working on and things she loves. Great section to have for any brand, in my opinion. I love the typography on that particular section as well. I also love the section that shows the latest advertising campaigns. Such genius. Ohhhh Kate!

Noticed that Steven Harrington updated his site with new work. Lovely as usual. Great color sense here. Love the peacocks. Check out the Etc. section for photos of his installations.

Rachel Roy‘s Spring 2007 collection is so delightful. I noticed all the lovely yellows and just had to post it. Lots of ladylike details, beautiful pleating and ruffling. I love this designer so much more with every new collection she does.

New journals from Five and a Half… this new collection is made from sugarcane fiber and postconsumer paper. Love the illustrations that adorn these, the muted color is stunning as well. Also available is a limited-edition journal featuring a photograph of Martin Luther King Jr. to commemorate the upcoming 40th anniversary of his assassination.

How amazing is Rosa Loves? Inspired by real people in financial need, t-shirts are designed to directly benefit them. Each t-shirt is accompanied with it’s own personal story. An Indonesian seaweed farmer. An American family who lost their home in a fire. I absolutely love this concept. Beautifully designed shirts, beautiful stories, such worthy causes. From Rosa Loves: “We hope to encourage individual people to get involved in the community around them on a somewhat tangible scale… Everyone has a story. Everyone has a need. By using art and creativity, we hope to foster hope and encouragement through the aid of apparel. Each story will be told through stimulating graphics and actual text that will appear on the inverse of the shirt directly in line with the heart, where the Rosa Loves movement stems from.”
