Oktak_2

I am over the moon in love with Oktak's line of vintage fabric frame bags - they definitely satisfy my current obsession with the kiss closure - check out this wonderful little site - and do so often as she tends to sell out of these gems VERY quickly.  For those of you in Brooklyn this weekend for the Renegade Craft Fair - she will be there!

Colormevivre 

I tend to post about Vivre quite a bit - I really can't help it - the company has redefined luxe glamour and I can not get enough.  I just received the Summer catalogue and was particularly smitten by these two images {as well as the products featured in each shot}.  The combination of colors on the table are all at once earthly and ethereal - gorgeous.  And while I seem drawn to colors this time of year - I still can't get enough of white on white...

Atbarneys

Gorgeous earrings at Barneys New York - I love that nature continues to be such a popular motif in design.  {Above:  clockwise from top; Rosanne Pugliese, Ten Thousand Things and Cathy Waterman}

Felderfelder_2

One of the things I love most about the change in season this time of year is the bursts of color that seem to fill my landscape.  Everywhere I look, I feel as if I am bathing in pastels - and though my love for pink is probably apparent to most readers, I still tend to wear neutrals {and yes - black} throughout Spring and Summer.  So it should be no surprise that I am head-over-heels for the Spring Collection from Felder Felder - take a peek at both the lookbooks and runway collection for Spring '07 and Fall '07 here - and I am loving the photography in the Fall '07 lookbook...

Aries_1

I found this Ram's Head piece this afternoon while stopping in ZGallerie; as a proud Aries, I had to have it - it reminded me so much of the lamp in this post - now where to put it.  And while in Atlanta a few months ago, I picked up this ring by Elizabeth Cole - love, love, love my Rams!  Have a great weekend!

Nextweek

It is set to be a busy week at Juniper - as such I leave you with some of my favorite links to peruse before I return next week...

~ Who doesn't want a closet full of dresses this Spring?  Now to find the look to fit the growing belly... hmmmm... the beauties above are from Anthropologie...

~ Domino's fantastic green issue is a wonderful resource for environmentally responsible home decor options - check out the Green List on their site...

~ I start every morning with a visit to 3191 - I can't say enough about what these photographs do for me everyday...

Lux_avolare

I have been a fan of Linea Nervenkitt for years - but the stark simplicity of her new line truly moves me...

Valssi_xl_1

Thanks to Lucky magazine Lucky Breaks Online I came across this beautiful little site by interior design firm HOUSEplay - House+wear.  With a well edited selection of home and personal accessories from Finland, pieces are hand-screened on fine linen - I just treated myself to the Valssi purse pictured above...

Fabulous treats for your body at Four Sisters Bath and Body - I am dying to try the Scented Bath Salts in Georgia Peach - yum!  Be sure to check out the Gift Sets for the perfect holiday treat for you bff - or - you of course!  {the above photo is of the beautiful sisters!}

Bobe_1

When the temperature begins to plunge, one of my truest and simplest pleasures is a nightly soak.  Bobe Bath Essentials makes the thought of such guilty pleasures so much more delightful.  With their best-selling Soy Whip Body Butter having a cult like following – it hard to resist – and my absolute favorite aspect of their lines is that you can pick the scent!  With 46 delightful scents to choose from (some based on best-selling perfumes), you are sure to find one to tickle your senses.  Another must-have is their all-natural, uber-healing lip balm – with over 32 flavors to choose from, good luck choosing just one!  Through 15 December, Athena Says readers will receive 10% off their order – just use ATHENA10 at checkout and indulge – I know I will!
