work it




tom dixon has his factory workers at it again. the designer's exhibit at icff 2010 includes a table of workers constructing pendant lamps and votive candle holders on site that could be purchased at a reasonable price. dixon's signature mirror ball pendants were on display, as well as his new stacking peg chairs which you can get in an amazing saturated neon orange.

look at you





new york city!!! its so great to be back! i have had the opportunity to stay at the hudson hotel while in town for my first and long awaited visit to the international contemporary furniture fair. the hotel accomplishes mixing a variety of styles without feeling disconnected with its acid yellow glass accents and mod meets traditional interior. love it!

you're my obsession



i have a confession. i know why you can't find any wedges by cynthia vincent for target in the milwaukee area. i bought them all. the designer collaboration shoes have been selling like hotcakes and have become so difficult to find that they are currently selling on ebay for more than twice what they originally sold at target for. fashion bloggers have been going nuts over the target launch which seemed to cause a bigger storm than expected. get it while its hot!

trust me

this is the hotness. the marc side tables by marc thorpe for moroso come in one of my favorite color combos. i love the animated look, its almost like they are ready to jump.
