Wapa Studio - Porcelain Tea Light

 

I just saw these porcelain tea lights on the front page of Etsy and I fell in love with them.  Ady of Wapa Studio's in Israel makes these beauties by slip casting and then hand carving them.  I love their sculptural quality and clean palette.

It may be the Olympics in Vancouver, but here in NYC it's Fashion Week.  This is the last year for the shows at Bryant Park, which feels a bit strange.  Sophie Theallet revealed her gorgeous Fall 2010 collection this week and I have a serious crush on this dress. 

Byrd & Belle

 

My mom mentioned to me that she was looking for a computer case for her new mac.  While looking around, I stumbled upon these great felt cases by Byrd & Belle.  I love the clean modern aesthetic to these pieces and the fact that you can stash them within another bag. 

Working in the Studio

 

A friend of mine asked me what it looks like when I work.  Well, here is the the cleaned up version. I will not show you how crazy messy it can get.  I tend to work like a blizzard hit, with everything strewn about.  I find it helps the creative juices to have everything in front of you.

The Jane Hotel

 

I'm sure everyone in NYC has heard of The Jane Hotel, but somehow it has escaped me.  This hotel features:  standard cabins - sleeps one, bunk cabins - sleeps two bunk bed style, and the captains cabin - regular room.  I could see my kids loving the bunk cabin.  All the rooms are styled after old ship cabins.  Very cool indeed.

 

Pullman Wine Bar

While browsing through Apartment Therapy, I stumbled across this fantastic chandelier at the Pullman Wine Bar in Montreal.  The design of this piece is both so modern and old world.  Next time I am heading to Montreal I will be checking them out. 

JHill Design

 

I've been following JHill's designs for awhile now, and I really love her combination of text and graphics in her pieces.   These new works inspired by vintage flashcards are the perfect artwork for the home or office.  View her site here.

Rock out...

 

I think this Loeffler Randall dress would rock with a short black leather jacket.  A great look for spring/summer.

Tress Suspension Lamps

I love the look of these hanging lights.  They look like cut paper, but are actually lacquered fiberglass.  Beautiful.  You can find them at Hive.
