My Wonderful World of Fashion

I came across My Wonderful World of Fashion at Books Inc. in San Francisco this past weekend and how I would have LOVED this coloring book as a little girl.  {Okay, I admit, I’d still enjoy coloring in it NOW!} See more pages from the book here.

And for you indie-rock lovers, this coloring book should satisfy! {Cool Hunting tip off!}

Liberty of London

Did you hear that Liberty of London is doing a collaboration with Target?  It will encompass home, fashion, and “other categories”, according to WWD.  The fashion line will include apparel and accessories for women, men, and children- I can hardly wait!  The line starts rolling out on March 14th…only 3 1/2 months to wait!

Daiso

Over the holiday weekend, on the recommendation of a friend, I trekked over to Daiso, a Japanese dollar store {okay, $1.50 store}, that sells everything from kitchenware, to hair accessories, to candy.  I kind of lost track of time while I was in the store- there were so many cute- and often hilarious- finds.  Perfect Christmas stocking stuffers, for sure.  And almost everything is $1.50 so you can load up your cart without any guilt!

Crown & Crumpet Fancy Goods

Have you heard?  Our client Crown & Crumpet has just opened a sister shop {on the lower level of the plaza at Ghirardelli Square, almost underneath the tea room!} called Crown & Crumpet Fancy Goods and it is divine.  Here are a few shots of their Christmas decor to get you in the mood…  {And yes, you can buy it too!}

Chic little canvas clutch

Just came across this chic little canvas and leather clutch, but due to it’s diminutive size, I think I’d use it as a large wallet.  Kind of fabulous, no?
