Hunter Welly’s are for lounging
15 years ago
Hunter Boot Welly Warmers ($30) have been around for a few season. But they’ve recently come into style as fashionable lounge-wear stockings. Welly Warmers are available in a variety of colors, making this a great gift for even your most difficult friend, you know – the one who only wears pink (ew). And of course, if you already own Hunter Rain Boots purchasing a pair of Welly Warmers is a no brainer. (If you don’t own Hunter Rain Boots, you’re missing out)
Exposed Underwear
15 years ago
At the recent Prada book launch party, lingerie as outerwear was all the rage. Both Chloe Sevigny and Zoe Saldana flaunted the look, pairing midriff baring undergarments with high-waisted skirts.

Gifts of White Ceramic & Porcelain
15 years ago
I strongly suggest giving gifts of ceramic and porcelain this year; the look is very classy. I also think picking pieces in white are both season appropriate and pair nicely with most peoples’ home decor. Here are some of the best pieces out this season.
1. Rob Brandt’s Ceramic Ceramic Cups, $10-$12. Netherlands ceramicist Rob Brandt introduced them in 1975, and three decades later the crinkle effect only underscores the ingenious statement they make on our disposable culture.
2. Vast Design’s Circle Carafe, $45 originally $90. A sleek interpretation of the traditional Greek vessel used at ceremonies, because the shape symbolizes the union and the circle of life.
3. BROOKLYNrehab’s Little Ceramic Owl, $20. Hand cast porcelain owl made from a vintage salt shaker mold. He sits proud and will make a lovely addition to a bookshelf for tablescape.
4. Patrick Morris & Boskke’s Sky Planter. Flip your fern, herbs or other house plants on their heads with these planters available in mini $25 – medium $75. New Zealand designer Patrick Morris offers a new way of enjoying plants with his revolutionary process.
5. Kikkerland’s Ceramic Salt & Pepper Men, $12. Adorable little shakers held together with magnet power! And yes, the grains shake out through their eye holes.
6. Studio Prics’s Filigree Skull Money Box, $275. Ceramicost Daniel Pire? envisioned porcelain lace..or filigree, which he applied to enchanting effect on this skull moneybox. This money box must go under the hammer to access any savings inside, forcing the coin collector to come to terms with what exactly is most precious…
7. MichikoShimada’s Vita Salt & Pepper Shakers, $28. Tres Chic! Porcelain with glossy clear glaze. Cork stopper.
8. Studio Qubus’ Little Joseph Candle Holder, $115. Always loved those antique ceramic dolls heads that become detached from their bodies? Us too. Here, the baby head serves as the holder for a candle, and as the candle melts it becomes “hair” for the bald pate.
9. Sagaform’s Tri Herb Pot, $48. Scandinavian in its simple, unadorned and practical design. Insert a bunch in the enlarged opening, and keep hydrated by pouring water into the corner hole.
Home Carbonation Systems
15 years ago
Home carbonation systems have become trendy in recent months. Maybe this has something to do with the economy. Carbonation systems can be purchased for a little over $100. Some would say that after purchasing such system, you would save hundreds on soda and/or other carbonated drinks in the years to come.
I particularly like the Penguin Carbonation System $199 (including starter kit ingredients) from Soda Stream. This system has a very nice, industrial look and feel to it.
Human Tooth Rings
15 years ago
Trying to find the perfect holiday gift for your loved ones? The Human Tooth Ring by Australian silversmith Polly van der Glas is the perfect idea! If your loved one doesn’t wear rings, you can always get Human Tooth Earrings or Human Tooth Necklaces instead. Say What? Your loved one doesn’t like teeth. That’s strange…and you’re in luck because Polly van der Glas also makes jewelry out of Human Hair; and who doesn’t love long flowing golden curls.
“All works are handmade in Melbourne, with sterling silver, human hair and human teeth. Human teeth are locally donated and sterilized, and human hair is either locally donated or sourced from India and China.”
Light up your wardrobe – LED Dress
15 years ago
The Galaxy Dress is a one of a kind of creation put together by designers Francesca Rosella and Ryan Genz. The pair are the creators of a “fashionable technology company” called CuteCircuit.
The Galaxy Dress is comprised of 24,000 LED lights, 4,000 Swarovski crystals and quite a lot of iPod batteries, this dress is being called “the largest wearable display in the world.”
Zero + Maria Cornejo Menswear Collection
15 years ago
Maria Cornejo’s new collection is an extension of her distinctive approach to using women’s design elements as key pieces for men. Classic Zero + Maria Cornejo shapes are the foundation of the collection, including a rain jacket that is concave shaped, and a textured cotton double-layered shirt. But really? What is up with the sandal/clog/slingback shoe? Would any straight man ever be caught in something like this? I need to know who makes them, and if they’re comfortable, because these random shoes are pretty enough for me any day. And as always, no collection is complete without a pair of black tailored slim trousers, and Cornejo’s look fantastic.
The new collection will be available in February 2010.
