allison at jonathan adler was kind enough to send over these images of some gorgeous new adler ceramics that i’ve been lusting over. the lattice urn and the giant bjorn are perfect examples of what adler does well- really lovely shapes combined with the perfect amount of subtle pattern. if i had a bit more pocket change i’d love to snatch a few of these, but for now i’ll be saving my pennies for the giant bjorn. i think just about any flowers you put in it would look stunning. but of course, it would look just as stunning on it’s own. you can snag the giant bjorn for $250 right here and the lattice urn (in s/m/l) for $88-$198 right here (each size has a diff pattern). enjoy!

the lovely ladies of chilewich invited me to their showroom for lunch yesterday to see their latest collections. over a delicious quesadilla i got to see a sneak peek of their new collections for fall 2006 and spring 2007. the spring collection is going to really surprise people- they’re testing out a slightly different style that i think is going to be hugely successful. when a retail date is near you’ll be the first to see them here! until then click here for a little glimpse into the colorful chilewich offices. thanks so much to sandy and camille for the wonderful lunch and showroom tour!

[ps: on my way back i hopped in a cab just as the food network’s dave lieberman was getting out. so dreamy]

i’m starting to actually get small steps in my decorating process squared away (shower curtain being made, couch company coming to measure, electrician on the way) and the first thing that’s made me really happy was getting back my framed camilla engman prints. i just love her playful, child-like style and her simple use of color. if you’re looking for some affordable prints i highly suggest camilla’s work.

[ps: all sorts of drama in the project runway post. cara’s stirring things up…i’m heading to chilewich for a studio visit, be back later!]

i was so excited to see this beautiful new collection from blik design in my inbox this morning. blik held a fabulous design competition called “blik loves threadless” that encouraged designers to submit designs that would make great tees (for threadless) and would also work well as a set of wall decals. close to 340 designs were entered and 2 made the cut- happy when it rains by zeptonn.nl (a rainbow and bouncy people pattern) and 7.00 by letter (a bird on branch pattern). each pattern is fun, colorful, funky and totally fantastic. there’s a cartoon flair to each pattern that makes them a bit more cutting edge than the main collection and perfect for those who find traditional wall graphics a little safe. each collection sells for $55 and can be arranged however you like- i think they’re far too cool to hide in a small space so i suggest proudly displaying them in your most visible spot. i just think it’s fantastic that blik is celebrating the talent of independent designers and making their work available for the mass market. more people should be doing this on a big, big scale. be sure to check out the fantastic gallery of entries, too!

how gorgeous is this high road house project by soho house interior designer ilse crawford (she’s the genius behind studio ilse!)? i love the wall behind her with the wallpaper. gorgeous. [via the nytimes, photo by luke tchalenko for the nytimes]

i’m loving this online-only pillow series by hable construction. this embroidered linen pillow has such a nice little punch of color with the hot pink and green iris. so lovely. available online right here for $160 (def a splurge item…)
