What I want today

I have now read about this camera twice this week; once on Style.com and once in Domino Magazine. This can only mean one thing, it takes really fantastic photos and for the price - I must have it!

Letterpress

There is honestly nothing more classically beautiful than a piece of letterpress paper - especially if it is done well. These are done by Elum Designs at www.elum.com, I love all their custom letterpress options and check out their website often. Though I have to say it because this is my blog... the girl at their booth at the National Stationary show in New York this year acted like an idiot.

Kitchen

One Summer night last year, as I was strolling down the streets of Boulder, a quaint and luminescent restaurant caught my eye. I had to stop and turn around to admire the architecture and interior design - all of which were so simple and so chic and went so well with the building and the surroundings. The most impressive part is that is that is all appears so natural and effortless.

The designer ice cream cone ... of course

Sketch Ice Cream is a brilliantly designed Ice Cream store in California; their logo, their interior, their packaging is all so appropriately and tastefully executed by a Design Boutique called Passing Notes (the rest of their portfolio work is impressive as well). It is definitely a source of inspiration!

Sketch Ice Cream

James

This just looks like a simple and sophisticated restaurant venue located in New York City. I am drawn to these spaces that are semi casual but have a sense of eloquence. I would never describe them as unpretentious because I find that when people describe things as unpretentious - they are typically wrong. Anywhere that serves food in stylish ways is meant to draw in the pretentious...it comes naturally and to deny that would be stupid.

It didn't hurt that the name is James...for personal reasons :)

Perrier-Jouet Champagne

Perrier Jouet has created an experience for the the first tailor made champagne in history - super luxurious.

Bulldog Gin

I may be biased because I personally know and love a bulldog but I think this is fantastic packaging design. Subtly appropriate with the collar - so clever!

Hennesy Ellipse Cognac

This is an extremely high end and expensive bottle of cognac - I'm not sure if it even sells in the United States and I am pretty sure it costs over $1,000. You are essentially buying a small sculpture.

If I could go anywhere...

I would go to the Greek Isles. I would like to see them all, but I think Santorini sounds the most romantic. AND they have a helipad...just in case I fly in.
