little eero

Aren't these restored vintage dresses from Little Eero just gorgeous?

sseko

I love everything about this amazing shoe company, Sseko (pronounced say-ko).

Not only is the product beautiful, so is the mission and the back story! I can't get enough of their super-stylish website. I just ordered a pair of these lovely, incredibly versatile sandals, along with two extra sets of interchangeable straps (brilliant!).

You should too.

i've done it

I've gone and jumped on the trendy-granny-sandal bandwagon. I have to say, after padding around town in these for a while, they might just be the most comfy shoes I've ever worn. Don't tell, but maybe I'm even eyeballing a second pair...

Selima for Crewcuts

Did you know that Selima Optique has a range of eyewear for kids, designed exclusively for Crewcuts?

My friend Angel, who works at Selima's Bond Street boutique, introduced me to the line one day when I dropped by the store to shop for myself. The collection is so freaking cute, I knew I had to tell my readers about it!

The frames come in several classic shapes and a snazzy array of colors, for style options to suit any budding fashion maven. Jackson and Walker loved rocking the sunglasses that Angel lent us to review and photograph, and it was amazing to see how they gravitated to different styles that perfectly complimented their very different personalities. Jackson immediately picked the Delancy frames as his favorites and started channeling his inner movie star, whereas Walker looked utterly himself the second he donned the insanely-precious-yet-still-totally-badass-pint-sized aviators.

I am in love with the range of mauves and pinks that the Scout style come in. So pretty, right? Doing this post is making me want my own new pair of sorbet-colored glasses! Lucky for me, Selima has the grown-up styles covered too ;)

Shop the entire collection of children's sunglasses online at J. Crew, or bring your kiddo by a Selima store location to get a custom fitting for prescription lenses.

Marla Cielo

Aren't these envelope clutches by New York designer Marla Cielo just fantastic? Each one is completely unique, due to the process of hand-painting large leather "canvasses", cutting them into strips, and then weaving the pieces into a bag. Functional fashion meets one-of-a-kind artwork! Check out the website to see the whole range.

You can also shop Marla Cielo's latest collections at a special event on April 28th from 6-9 pm at Bond 07 (07 Bond Street, NYC). Enjoy a cocktail while you shop, meet the designer, and even watch her demonstrate the painting process! I plan to go, and it would be great to see you there ;)

The Green Flea

Everyone's always talking about the Brooklyn Flea, but I'm rather partial to the Upper West Side's own Green Flea.

Besides, I can walk there ;)

Photos taken on my phone last Sunday.

We have a busy, exciting weekend leading up to the Gala on Monday night! I'll see you back here on Tuesday or Wednesday. Ciao.

Fun at Selima Optique

On Tuesday, I had a little time with Walker so I popped him into a sling and went downtown to pay a visit to one of our favorite shops, Selima Optique, to visit with our friends Angel and Selima and to try on fun frames. We cracked each other up making smoochy faces while we modeled different styles, and Walker looked dashing in a pair of Selima for Crewcuts frames. Later, he enjoyed balancing a cookie on his arm for the camera. That kid's a born performer and a total card ;)

PS: Thanks to Lynne, of Sakura Bloom, for making the trek with us and taking the cute photos, and thanks to Angel and Selima for letting us play!

PPS: Remember that project I mentioned? I can't wait to tell you more about it soon. Here's a little tidbit...Selima Optique will be hosting a launch party at their Bond Street store for the event in May! Stay tuned ;)

hold up

Um, can we just pause for a second to soak up the awesomeness that is the Spring 2011 Collection from Chie Mihara? Goodness gracious these are some off-the-hook shoes:

You're welcome.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

a pretty chair for your thursday

Isn't that just the sweetest thing?

Marimekko for Converse

I am weary of snow boots. With Spring approaching (Spring is approaching, right?), I wouldn't mind rocking a fresh new pair of canvas sneakers. I think these Marimekko for Converse would do the trick quite nicely!

February Love

LOVE pillowcase set, available at Reverie Daydream.

Weleda on GILT

One of my favorite natural skin care brands, Weleda, is featured today on GILT! Prices on some of their loveliest products are far below retail, so check it out. If you're not yet a member of GILT, leave a comment on this post with your email address and I'll send you an invitation ;)

Jewelry Lust

I am absolutely dying over this quirky-amazing Matryoshka Doll ring. How incredibly fab! Discovered via Little Criminal.

Arctic Friends Stamps

I am smitten with this lovely rubber stamp set from Ink and Wit. The designs are sweet and rather elegant at the same time, don't you think?
