New for the Weekend

New jewelry pieces from Amy Tavern are here, she has a new collection of blackened steel mixed with gold and it manages to be dainty and a little tough at the same time.

From Nava Design of Italy we have some go to work bags, one is a vertical messenger format and the other is a larger brief-type bag, both are sleek and in a durable nylon canvas in surprising colors (and yes, black as well). Unisex and geared toward creatives, in a nutshell.

Nava also has a fun gift, One Year of White Pages - 12 little notebooks with a moleskine-like cover, one for each month. Each book has 1 to 12 holes punched all the way through to indicate the month and the whole set is bound together. A fun little art piece that I can't resist...

Eight brand-new artist wallet designs from Poketo are here. Artists include Susie Ghahremani of Boy Girl Party, Charlene Liu, Keri Smith, Miki Amano and the Little Friends of Printmaking.

Guilty pleasure: Spicy Thai Kettle Chips and Ben and Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk.

Last thing:

My financial advisor is also a conceptual artist (!) and his latest project is as always corporate and subversive at the same time.
