Shine

Shine Home masterfully balances sophisticated shapes with playful pops of color. It’s exotic and modern at the same time- a hard look to pull off. Here are some of my favorites from their online store…

Cool eco-friendly sunglasses from iWood that I saw on a blog I just discovered, Chic City Rats.

Ruby Press is hiring interns!

It’s true, we’re looking for two part-time interns to start in April here at our PR agency Ruby Press. For all the details, please see the listing here.

It will be so sad to say goodbye to our two fabulous interns, Christine and Rebecca who are nearing the end of the 6-month term…

Call me!

I just love vintage telephones…we’d have them all through our home and office if they only had caller ID! These are so good looking though, I might be swayed…

I am not usually one for reproduced “vintage” items, but I also adore these phones

Shop like a Bird

I love online shopping, but I tend to pick around at different sites. I just happened upon Brooklyn boutique Bird’s website and there are so much delicious brands to choose from- Antik Batik, A.P.C., Kerry Cassill, Vena Cava, Virginia Johnson, to name a few.

Divine de Vera

The two de Vera boutiques -one in NYC on Crosby Street and one here in SF on Maiden Lane- are like jewel boxes containing the most exquisite antique (and well-curated modern) finds…gorgeous glassware, jewelry (antique and created from antique finds by owner/designer Federico de Vera), and other objets d’art that make me insane with want.

Floral catch-alls

I love these small floral bowls for jewelry…

The chunkiest, yummiest notepads

We Ruby Press gals are obsessed with our new Dauphine Press letterpressed notepads…especially the “office” pad which is in our trademark aqua blue and cherry red. Check out the side view too- they are about two inches thick!- they’ll last forever.

P.S. Get a sweet deal on them by visiting Cookie magazine’s Cookie Dough!office-pad.jpg
