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!

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...

Hobo_2

... and she is mine.  Ever since discovering this about two years ago, I have been a Hobo International addict.  I wish there was a pill or something because now of course, I have to have that in pink.  But the lovely Via Brera pictured above was a birthday gift - sometimes {thankfully} I can be easy to buy for...

Fauna06

Fauna is one of my favorite up and coming designers {I wrote a piece for the IndieShopping Blog on this fab designer last year} - the look is so rock n' roll femme - I have been checking the site daily for the Spring update - I will let you know when it hits!

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...

~ I LOVE checking up on the latest happenings in fashion at Shiny Squirrel - her taste is impeccable!

~ Planning the new baby's nursery here...

~ and if you are a complete dork like me, don't forget to pre-order this.

Edithpalm

I can't wait to see what LA based designer Edith Palm has planned for Spring 2007 - I love the edgy, modern twist on bygone eras...

Hushbaby

A wonderful little gem of a book I picked up at Anthropologie in Atlanta - This Little Piggy Went to Prada by Amy Allen and illustrated by Eun-Kyung Kang - subtitled "Nursery Rhymes for the Blahnik Brigade":

Hush-A-Bye Baby

"Hush-a-bye Baby, in Mummy's arms, When she wears Tod's, you'll come to no harm.  When, in her Gina's, she's not quite so sound, You're safer with Daddy, both feet on the ground."

Piperlime_2

Check out the newest venture by Gap Inc. – Piperlime – a shoe boutique so packed with fabulous finds, you will think you have died and gone to haute heel heaven…

wishlist goodie(s) of the week...

Swar

New lovelies at my favorite shop for affordable uber-glam accessories; if I had not just bought the Kenneth Jay Lane serpent ring I posted here – that beauty would be mine – looks like it will have to settle for wishlist status for now.  How I would love a rock like that about my neck - and the calfskin clutches studded with Swarovski crystal are especially delish…
