Leanne Marshall Takes on Fashion Week

NY has been busy with Fashion Week, I saw this video Leanne Marshall Takes on Fashion Week and my thoughts are with her and all the independent designers who are doing their collections by hands with original ideas and sleepless nights. Very inspiring.

Design*Sponge at Home

Last night, I was so happy to open my amazon.com order — my pre-ordered copy of Design*Sponge at Home had finally arrived! Grace and the team had been working on this book for the last two years and it really shows their hard work in every single page! Amazing!

Love these chapter opener pages — behind the scene post was very inspiring, too.

Congratulations, Grace and the team!!

I know what I’m going to be doing for the next few days… :) Happy Friday and weekend, everyone! xo Hijiri

p.s They are giving away the book!

Ame Earrings

This pair of Ame (means rain in Japanese) Earrings from Suga Jewelry is perfect for a gloomy rainy day like today. (It poured yesterday all day, too… and tomorrow is supposed to be all rainy… )

Simple yet very unique design, don’t you think? She has a lot of new products just updated — please go look around!

Hello Sunshine Mug

Hello Sunshine mug by Oh Leander. Hand painted by the artist on a ceramic mug — how simple yet cute!

With this, I am saying hello to the (hopefully filled with sunshine) Labor day weekend :) If you are in US, have a great long weekend! It will probably be a working weekend for me… but I will also try to enjoy my quiet time before the baby comes…

See you on Tuesday! xo Hijiri
