“all of our products are hand made with obsessive attention to detail. We design, dye, rinse, wash each garment and accessory right here in our shop. Lincoln was founded with the goal to hand craft every aspect of the final product.”

I’m turning thirty-one in a few short months, and I want to be a little saucy – red that is. I found this amazing dress on ModCloth called Miss Issippi, and these shoes on Zappos. I’m thinking this would be the perfect outfit for the one night where I get to celebrate being me.

I was reading up over on Oh, Hello Friend and just love Quote Studio’s bags! The Leather and Canvas Sea Bag is on my wish list! Isn’t it great?! I know all of my friends would be asking “Where did you get that bag?!” and it would make me smile!

The bags are made in small quantities by Vicki and Jim out of Thailand, and I love them!

I have no clue who is behind the design and branding for Aubin and Wills but I love the mostly typographic look for their branding efforts and homewares! If anyone knows the agency/studio responsible for their treatments, or if it’s an in-house effort – please let me know!

I love the Freehand Pinstriping tee from House Industries. They also have an ampersand shirt which I think is adorable as well.

No, I’m not reenacting the Zebra from Fruit Stripe gum. I’m talking about these super cute Signature Stripe bags from Twelve NYC. And don’t miss the Anchor collection either!

I adore this look as seen last night while watching the Oscars, in the film An Education. Would this look completely silly on a 30-year old such as myself? I think I could swing it.

I am again, loving another couple. The sweet-seeming Carrie and Matt of Imogene + Willie located in Nashville, Tennessee. They began by producing premium denim for some of the world’s leading brands and now own a retro-fitted gas station where there is a hearty mix of product design, product execution, and product distribution. On the home page of their site is a video which urgently describes their vibe, their brand, and them. I can’t get enough of them!

I am quite surprised that I have not posted about Emersonmade but I am at this very moment! I’m a huge fan of Emersonmade’s stylish fabric flower accessories, and each photos is stylishly presented so that the flower is the shining star. And in fact, she is now my style idol. Her and her photo friend ( is it her husband, friend?), I want them to be my friends. These look the kind of people that I could hang out with.

From the Emersonmade blog:

*emersonmade hand-cuts-stitches-builds all the blooms so each is varied and has its own little soul- perfectly imperfect. yes this is right! its the joy of life to do it this way!

*i do all the styling+design, all photographs (with my beloved snapper BigR), collages and artwork associated with emersonmade. i work my fingies to the bone! please credit emersonmade and link back. i’ll do the same for you.

And on the About Us page, it says they will be launching an apparel line in  2010! I can not wait!!!

Oh, and apparently she had a workshop in July of 2009. Where the heck was I?! I’m sad that i missed it but am subscribed to their blog now so I don’t miss another one if it comes around.
