I’m a big fan of incase. Their products are really well made, and you can bet anything they offer—and they make more than computer/iphone accessories—is going to make you look damn cool. They partner with artists (one of whom is Krink; his laptop case is HOT) for their Curated by Arkitip series; I’ve had a bunch of the series’ products bookmarked for awhile but...

These are hands down, game over, through and through the best Christmas decorations I have EVER seen. Simple idea, handmade sweetness, and anything sweeping from the ceilings is always a good thing. (Yes, even party streamers, if done correctly.)
From the Katie Did blog. Sidenote: she has the most beautiful girls ever who model her lovely fashion creations with angelic perfection.

Probably More Bitter Than Sweet
I’ll be leaving my beloved second home of Washington DC in less than two months. I came to college here, I saw amazing things that changed me, I conquered many fears. There is no possible way to explain all the things DC means to me, or how much I’ve grown while living here. I can’t stand the thought of leaving, but there’s no way I can stay. It’s a love/hate thing,...

Beautiful, right? Stone&Honey has a great line of necklaces ranging from bold geometric pendants to slices of agate topped with delicate honeycomb or crystal formations. The gold pinwheel necklace is especially sweet!
They have statement pieces and delicate everyday pieces alike; their shop is worth a browse!
THIS, guys.
This is part of the MOMA’s current Tim Burton exhibition. Can you believe it? It’ll be there until April 26. I’m not entirely sure how often this happens—so much brilliance in one space—but it is, I’m sure, not to be missed. The retrospective will include drawings, paintings, photographs, sketchbooks, props, and short films that have never...

Just FYI.
I’m a free agent now. You need design, I got your designer right here.
Link to the portfolio is on the right; if you enjoy that small taste, shoot me an email. Let’s talk!

Why yes, Kacia. YES YOU DO!
But wait. Where are the reindeer antlers coming from, guys? I want the cake AND the eating!

How A Web Design Goes STRAIGHT TO HELL. →
Seen on Nickle’d Pink’s blog. This ain’t no lie, friends. Gross idiocy like this actually slaps designers in the face ALL THE TIME.

I’ve come to love more and more the beauty of extremely well-crafted utilitarian pieces. Something about carrying one rugged piece with me through years of life adventures appeals to me very much. A beautiful example of such work is Vael’s line of bags. Their products are made with premium materials and are meant “for the wandering global creative class.”
I’m...

I’ve just discovered the work of National Television and, lemme tellya, my knees are a-wobblin’. It looks like they focus on animation/motion work, and they kick ass at it. I love the Drive Every Drop commercial for Honda (screenshots above), and the Play Doh commercial for American Express.
Check out their showreel, too, and prepare for your mind to be blown.

I’ve just come across the serene work of Eveline Tarunadjaja, and I want to paste it up all over my apartment. My favorite things about her drawings are the billowing hair and cute little noses. That whale is cute-to-boot as well!

Morgan Blair is a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Her work is psychedelic and full of crazy colors. It’s so great!
You should definitely watch this the whole way through.

I love using needle and thread with unconventional materials (as evidenced by my present to the boy last year). This stitched moleskine makes my heart all a-flutter. BYOOT. Katie of What Katie Does decided to use thread instead of ink in her section of a travelling moleskine. I think the results are lovely, and have just come up with new ideas for christmas-present-wrapping + stitching.
I’ve just discovered Laura Lombardi’s jewelry, and man, is it gorgeous. Her etsy store is full of fantastic shapes, both geometric and organic. I’m loving the symmetry of some of her pieces, and the reptition of forms. If you’re looking for gift ideas, her store is worth a visit!
