I’m head over heels for Fresh’s Desire gloss absolute. The scent is lemon sugary + the color makes my lips just a smidge rosier + glossier than normal. The only way they could possibly improve it would be to make it a tube/wand instead of a pot.

Less is more: I cannot say it enough. When I’m looking for understated yet elegant notecards, B Designs always comes through. The samples shown here are from the desktop caddy series, where you get 40 notecards and envelopes (20 of each design), packaged in a woven box. It would be great to have this set on hand to jot a quick note, a thank you, a “please excuse my son’s absence from school” …. you get the idea.

The ladies at Stitch Design Co. continue to impress me with their elegant work. Love the collateral for interior design firm Barlow & Bishop. Simple and yet très luxe.

love the orange edge!

Update: I learned this morning that the ladies of Stitch are working on Tara Guerard/Soiree’s new website. Check out the collateral they designed for Tara, too.

The lovely Jessica at Destined to Design asked me a few questions for her “for the record” feature recently. Please click over to her blog and see what I had to say! (Thank you, Jessica!)

dictionary liner
Wild Ink Press launched its website today + I just adore the custom stationery shown above. The envelopes are lined with dictionary pages which is a distinctive and original touch. Prefer music? There’s also an option for vintage sheet music liners, which I know my 12-year-old musician would love. See the brand new site right here.

Think of how much sweeter your to-do list/journaling/diary would be if it were written in a heart-shaped journal. Available at Greer, in red or pink. (Are you thinking Valentine’s Day gift? I am. So pretty + thoughtful.)
