Given my fascination with all things MUJI, this book went straight to my wishlist. I have to see inside! (Available 10/26)
In addition, on November 4, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum will be hosting a book signing and panel discussion with authors Jasper Morrison, Naoto Fukusawa, and Kenya Hara (MUJI’s art director). If I lived in New York, I would be figuring out/finagling a way to attend. Would be interesting to hear some stories behind the designs.
UPDATE: The event on November 4 is not taking place; there is an event scheduled at the Japan Society in New York on November 3. Check the Rizzoli website (the book’s publisher) for the latest and most correct information regarding the MUJI book release and related events.

First, a confession: I’m a bit obsessed with Margaret Howell at the moment. Her Wigmore Street shop was the very first place we visited in London. Something about how she infuses basics with a bit of Japanese avant garde minimalism is so appealing. Deconstruct any of these looks and you see basics. Together, they’re just so, well, cool.

As soon as we’re into reliably cool fall weather, I am ordering up some treats from Cacao Atlanta. Gorgeous packaging, not to mention everything looks delicious!

I’m wrapping up the New York collections with this Stephen Burrows orangey red dress. Great color; great neckline. Very summery. See the complete collection at Style.com.
