Melissinos

I love these sandals, made by hand in Greece:

they almost verge on being too hippie, but worn with the right outfit I think they’d be perfect & simple. The prices ($40-$48 a pair) are incredibly reasonable, especially when you take into account the terribly weak dollar and the fact that they include shipping.

heath tote bag

I grew up eating off of Heathware (it was my parents’ wedding “china” in 1972, and lasted through many moves and two kids before biting the dust) and really love this bag designed for the company by Heather of Skinny LaMinx:

Rob Ryan + Tatty Devine = great

Rob Ryan is one of my favorite artists. I have one of his tiles and at some point would love to own one of his screenprints (a purchase that will require some pre-planned saving.)

moop

These bags from moop are the epitomy of understated casual elegance. Available in different sizes and fabrics, they’re priced from $40-$55 right here.

canvas printed tote

T. and I are making an effort to stop using disposable bags for grocery and other shopping. The upside of this? (besides the obvious saving-the-planet part) is that I get to go shopping for shopping bags. This one from Urban Outfitters is great – big enough to hold groceries, cute enough to pretend to be [...]

Tote bags!

I really love a good tote bag. They’re maybe one of the most useful things in the world, transitioning from the beach to the farmer’s market to school to a diaper bag to shopping. I have a huge amount of them, because they also tend to be cheap. And did I say useful? I recently [...]

Tiny Face Design

This morning my friend Claire sent over the link to Tiny Face Design, an awesome company that was started by a friend of hers. Tiny Face does great custom illustrations, specializing in faces, that can then be printed onto shirts, or really anything you want. Design prices are totally reasonable – $15 for the first [...]
