Jason Altuzarra for J.Crew. Super cute, chic and Parisienne. Some fun facts about the designer: recipient of the CFDA/Vogue award this year and his mom is the CEO of his company.

Wish I knew this one was coming sooner. I had to lug the monster one volume, hard cover around. Thanks to Rob for the post via Spine Out. Read more about the release here.

Also clever in a different way.

James Beard Foundation

Sagres Preta Chocolate

Long time no post everyone. My come back will be about one of my great loves: chocolate. Sagres made a chocolate beer and constructed a site entirely out of chocolate to go with it. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Via behance.net.

Absolutely Gorgeous Interiors

Yes to the wallpaper and the lines in that hallway table.

Maps

Lately, I have been taking the Metra in with the husband. It's been great! Much smoother, quieter and faster than the CTA (although I will always have a spot in my heart for them).

I've been surfing Pinterest lately and found all these cool map images. They are quite beautiful as abstractions. My fave, which is NOT a map, are the MTA subway seats. :)
