Bunny and Bee (20% off and free shipping for decor8 readers)

I heard from such a nice lady the other day, Jen from Bunny and Bee. Jen and her husband Faez once owned a shop in San Francisco’s Haight, but closed up to focus on hand printing designs for their online store. Specializing in clothing for tots, they recently expanded their collection to include pillows, totes, [...]

Looking to Fashion…
6

With so many fashion designers and stores mixing into the world of interiors, my only wish is that J.Crew will expand someday with an entire collection of soft furnishings because I envision most of their patterns in the home. The red and white organic starfish print would be gorgeous on a wingback chair or as [...]

I’m having so much fun with my new etsy widget (see left column) because I really enjoy showing you all the artists on etsy that I’m following and hope that you like watching the “etsy ticker” too. I rarely talk about jewelry on this blog, but after finding these two sellers recently, I can’t hold [...]

The Dyslexic Press
1

While cruising the South End Open Market yesterday, I spotted some great vendors that I wanted to highlight but I just don’t have the time today, so I selected just two. The first, The Dyslexic Press, does a little remix of familiar brands, signs, and modern icons to create very poppy modern graphics that really [...]

Maries Butik
0

Have you heard of Maries Butik? It’s a small online boutique based in Copenhagen with a few unique finds that I thought I’d point you over to, like their assorted paper goods, Malene Helbak porcelain, and their gorgeous porcelain jewelry that I would love to own. Oh, and happy Friday everyone. TGIF!

Kerry Cassill *New* Online Store

I can’t believe it! Kerry Cassill now has an online store with home goods and fashion so shout it from the rooftops! To me, there’s nothing better than combining a little Bombay/Mumbai influence with a touch of California sunshine for Summer ‘07. I love how Kerry layers patterns and colors, I think I’ll pick [...]

Missoni Home at Neiman Marcus
5

Color, color, color! Bold Missoni takes fashion to another level constantly, so why not the home? And with the stitch pattern being as fabulous as it is, how can you resist?
Neiman Marcus carries the Missoni collection, and although some of it is way out of my reach, the bedding is somewhat affordable, especially if you [...]

Saltwater (London)
2

Ah… Saltwater. Refreshingly chic. Not to drink, but to wear. And what a cute storefront in giddy London. I love the painted brick walls, hardwood floors, and those windows… Sometimes I wonder if my second calling is commercial space design. I’d love to work on a fashion or home store design project someday. Just [...]

J Crew Eye Candy
11

So I was talking to my friend Becky the other day about shoes, because I’m on the hunt for yellow, blue, or red flat peep toes (I loved the BCBG Girls flats in Blueprint this month, but they’re impossible to find via BCBG, you have to hunt around Neiman’s or Macy’s). During this chat, she [...]

Fresh from Alena Hennessey’s studio, comes pretty woven pillows, tapestries, and totes in addition to her already solid collection of paintings, apparel, and sculpted birds in flight.

Anthropologie Bags
8

These graphic totes from Anthropologie make me happy today. I imagine casually hanging one over a chair and not really needing to store it someplace since it would make a lovely decorative accent. So, so pretty… Priced between $68-78 USD, which I think is quite a steal for Anthro!

Although there’s only 4 patterns to choose from, at least my favorite is one of them - Flower Blossom (top left). That would be gorgeous in a living room or bedroom. I imagine the others in a dining [...]
