Who wants to go to Target?
I am super pumped about Target’s new Go International line by Rogan that is coming out tomorrow. I think I am going to trek my ass out to the Target in the middle of Brooklyn, the one no one goes to on Saturday to pick me up some animal print miniskirts and rompers. Don’t judge me.


Vespa dudes
These wheatpasted ads are apparently going up all over Canada. I think they’re rad.


Please stop toying with my heart, Orla

Coming soon..
Red Hook + Ikea = better chance of a real couch for me! Opens June 18th. I don’t care if I’m supposed to be annoyed at commercialism - I’ve never been to IKEA and it is a tragedy, I’m sorry.
This post is totally all Nora’s, but I’m helping.
Card catalogs are the coolest

Poketo is full of crap I like
My sister alerted me to this store that is full of awesomeness: Poketo. One area of awesomeness that they specialize in is wallets, which I think Emily should definitely look into. Examples below, as well as examples of their sweetass mofo art prints…becky, notice use of bikes…


Also, those are all just $20
now on to prints

Missoni in the bathroom = DREAMS COME TRUE
omg x100
I need everything in the new line of Corion by Missoni. Jesus, it’s like someone raided my mind grapes for ideas and then designed some bathrooms. Oh god, I don’t think I’ve ever seen something more aesthetically pleasing for a bathroom in my life.

Massimo Vignelli’s NYC subway map = awesome x infinity

Ok, so this awesome man designed all the subway signs you see (yes, in helvetica) for NYC. He also designed the holy grail of subway maps, which the City rejected originally because he didn’t make the water blue and the land green, or from something stupid like that (no joke, I read it in NY Mag recently and when I have time, I’ll find it again and add a link). Anyway, Vignelli updated his map, thus making all my dreams come true.
Now Men’s Vogue is selling the prints and I’m totally considering buying one. Here’s from their website:
“Before New York’s familiar convoluted subway map was introduced in 1979, the city relied on the sleek modernist vision of Massimo Vignelli’s indelible 1972 design: each train line represented by a color, each stop by a dot. The plan was as visually utopian as it was elegant — paths running on 45- and 90-degree angles, an understated gray square marking Central Park, and type set in clear Helvetica. It was hailed as an instant classic of graphic design. But it left many feeling stranded. “People expected a map instead of a diagram,” Vignelli, 77, says. “But diagrammatic representation is common practice around the world since the London Underground map of the thirties.” Now, with some urging from Men’s Vogue, Vignelli (along with his team of Yoshiki Waterhouse and Beatriz Cifuentes-Caballero) has updated his famous, ultra-collectible plan, taking into account more than 30 years’ worth of changes. He’s still unwilling to play tour guide: “On purpose we rejected any visual reference to nature or landmarks.” Vignelli released 500 signed limited-edition art prints of the never-before-seen update — available exclusively for Men’s Vogue — with proceeds to benefit Omar Freilla’s nonprofit Green Worker Cooperatives. (The prints sold out on May 1, 2008.) The hope is to get the daily commutes — and aesthetic sensibilities — of New Yorkers back on the right track.”
this is a living calendar
the ink gradually fills in this sheet of paper with the days…it’s awesome

Yup, I hear you

I want to be the NY Times’s expert on color
From this article:
One expert on color, Leatrice Eiseman, has only good things to say about red. “Red is the color of the heart, of sensuality,” said Ms. Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “It works well virtually anywhere in the home, and works particularly well in the bedroom.”
When it comes to choosing colors, Ms. Eiseman said, “I don’t like rules, but there are general guidelines.”

Time thinks so too — Takashi Murakami in Time 100
Marc Jacobs says: “When I first saw Takashi Murakami’s work, I smiled and wondered, Where did this explosion come from? Who was responsible for this collision of psychedelia, manga and, well, art? Then I thought, I would love it if the mind that imagined this dizzying world of jellyfish eyes, singing moss, magic mushrooms and morphing creatures would be willing to have a go at the iconic Louis Vuitton monogram.
So I e-mailed Takashi. And he answered. Before long, there he was, standing in my Paris office, wearing his round, wire-rimmed glasses, skeleton-print T shirt, baggy short pants and a sort of samurai ponytail. He looked like a cool skater kid, an eternal teenager.
He and his crew, with total respect for Vuitton’s heritage, were eager to contribute to the creation of a new chapter.
How we would proceed in our collaboration was set forth by Takashi, 46. We would have a game of “catch ball,” throwing ideas and images back and forth, usually over e-mail, until we were both satisfied. Our first agreed-upon work was a straightforward interpretation of Vuitton’s traditional monogram. What had once been set in brown with gold symbols was now alive in 33 clashing colors against a jet black or optic white background. With a bit more throwing of the ball, each symbol within the monogram would soon have its very own identity—even the LV would eventually be entwined in moss and sprout hands.
Our collaboration has produced a lot of works and has been a huge influence and inspiration to many. It has been and continues to be a monumental marriage of art and commerce. The ultimate crossover—one for both the fashion and art history books.
The best part is that it continues, it grows, it morphs and still excites. Our efforts have come full circle. And I get to keep playing this game of catch ball with a great artist—and friend.”
California Selectz
is anyone else excited about American Apparel selling their used shit online besides me?

Their ‘line’ or curated ebay collection or whatever is called California Select. The name is a little lame bit hopefully the clothes will be cooler.
it’s me!
Renegade Craft Fair!!!
I went last year at the very end and I wished I had gone both days. How can you go wrong with a pool full of arts and crafts? I totally recommend going but I’ll probably miss it because I’ll be home that weekend for medical tests. Feel sorry for me and enjoy the oodles of cuteness June 14th +15th.
Need.

Looks comfy.
Sink with cutting board
How cool is this shit? It’s really cool. It’s a sink that also has a removable cutting board you can put right on top. Apparently, it’s good for cutting scallions.

Brooklyn Modern: A book I might read
I think I could read this book, and not just actually skim the pages. Brooklyn Modern’s website claims that it’s “the first book to explore the connection between Brooklyn’s astounding rebirth and its emerging architecture.”
Oh yeah? Well so is your face. Ha.
Check your eyes with chairs
In case I have not told you already, I’m in love with this new poster from Blue Art Studio:

STRIPES in the kitchen

All I ever want is a card catalogue

It’s my dream to one day buy Dan a card catalogue for personal use, and I definitely like how this person uses one as a coffee table.
