Refinery 29 currently features Antony (singer of Antony and the Johnsons) in their “hot for” section. Refinery 29 is the BEST New York shopping guide. They map out every great boutique and are on top of every opening of cool new stores. I highly recommend checking out the site before your next shopping romp through NY.
In addition to shopping and fashion, the site features other cultural info, which brings us back to Antony. Their feature reminded me of this amazing video Nick Knight did a while back. ( The above photo is from the film) The video is posted on Nick’s fashion broadcasting site SHOWstudio. The video is sooo beautiful and such a simple concept…

Spotted this on design sponge and had to post in the spirit of Philly pride. These take out cups were designed by Gina Triplett for Last Drop coffeehouse on 13th and Pine. Definitely the best coffee cups I’ve seen around…

What is it about cupcakes that makes them so darn cute? Although we are no longer six years old, there is still this desire to enjoy a tiny frosted cake. It’s time we move beyond the can of frosting and sprinkles to a more sophisticated version of cute, however. I recently came across this blog cupcake bakeshop that shows us how to do just that. The little cakes look so yummy and the photography is really beautiful.

It’s always a little suprising to see celebrities wearing Free People. These were posted on People’s off the rack blog as part of a “fashion faceoff” where readers debate over who looks better in the same clothes. So silly…
PS I’m pretty sure we are sold out on this. It was from fall.

sale!

Do you live near a Free People store? A wide selection of our holiday display will be for sale after New Years! Visit the stores and ask for the details. I think you need a 150 pound teddy bear to keep you company in your studio apartment…

I am obsessed with this pompom rug! I found it on craftypod, a podcast blog written by Sister Diane of the Church of Craft. She posts weekly audio podcasts with craft tutorials and interviews with crafters, authors and such. Check it out, she features some really awesome projects. I really wish these were videos though! Especially for the tutorials.
Found via love forever.

diy puff skirt

Check out Susie Bubble’s DIY instructions for creating your own “puff” skirt. You’ll need a full circle skirt and some ribbons! If you do it just so, the skirt might even look cool both ways, with the puffs and untied with the ribbons just hanging. If you don’t know Susie already, check her out. Her blog is definitely one of my favorites for fashion.
