Budget Buys: Wee Gallery Stationary

March 9th, 2010

At my first job out of college, I worked as a pattern designer for women’s and children’s footwear. I think I must have churned out hundreds of patterns a year, and of that total, a good majority of those were filled with animals and insects . Kids love these little guys, as do parents, so you can imagine my delight when I stumbled upon Wee Gallery’s sample sale on One Kings Lane today. Surya Sajnani’s lino cut style is very trend forward and quite reminiscent of Hugo Guinness and Perla Anne’s illustrations. The cards are half off, and perfect for framing or for just letting someone know they’re special.

Magasin Totale City Color Palettes

February 17th, 2010

This particular feature is a bit of a double whammy. Not only are these Magasin Totale photos for sale One Kings Lane today, the graphic layouts are so beautiful and geometric that I thought adding color palettes were a creative must. If you ask any artist, inspiration lies in every corner and crevice of society. Something so simple as an abandoned stairwell or a broken wire can provide the missing piece to a creative puzzle. The Swing Set, Rusty Outlet and Bouncy Balls are by Joe Delano and The Stairwell is by Jeremy Harris. Both masters of mystifying the mundane.

Barneys Warehouse Sale

February 15th, 2010

It’s hard not to love Barneys. From Simon Doonan’s infamous Madison Ave. windows to the snarky advertising and retail displays, this department store is one step ahead when it comes to forward fashion business practices. Once again, their warehouse sale has descended upon us and if you live in NY or LA, it’s not a bad idea to check it out. Everything from Thakoon dresses to Marni shorts to Vena Cava shirts are considerably discounted from Feb 11th – Feb 28th. Click here to find out more!

Ethnic Geometric Sale at C of C

February 10th, 2010

It’s time for winter sales and Creatures of Comfort, one of Pattern Pulp’s favorite LA based boutiques (with a killer web shop), is no exception. There are so many low priced patterned deals to check out, we thought we’d highlight these two ethnic geometric finds to get you perusing. Henrik Vibskov’s Bolivia blanket caught our eye in a cozy, vibrant kind of way. Osei Duro’s Duro Stair tunic, which was inspired by West African textiles, shares a similar layout and palette. You can use the blanket as a poncho and pair together for a modern day twin set or just use it as a fancy snuggie during these cold winter days.

Sotto le Lune Sample Sale

February 8th, 2010

After visiting the gift show last week, it seems safe to say that we’ll be seeing a lot more of bohemian lux in the year to come. Restoration Hardware has already picked up on this trend, as has Jonathan Adler, and of course John Derian and Anthropologie are partially responsible for our modernized rustic desires. These pillows, by Sotto le Lune embody this trend to a T with the use of linen, subtly intricate beading and soft natural tones. Luckily, for the pillow hunters out there, this collection, designed by Wendy Hall and her interior-designer daughter, Gemeli Hager, just went on sale on One Kings Lane. These pillows are beautiful, so if you’re looking to be inspired, or just see what’s brewing in New Zealand home goods, check [...]

Salt Box Bag Sale

January 28th, 2010

While I’m not currently in the market for a new bag, I stumbled upon these totes from Salt Box today while perusing One Kings Lane. They are apparently also for sale on Pop Deluxe. Reminiscent of Kate Spade’s signature look, they differentiate with their use of material and colorful plaid. It’s hard to go wrong when pairing classic geometrics with poppy color, a staple many home goods and fashion designers swear by.

NuLOOM Sample Sale

January 22nd, 2010

You may remember the May Flooring Solution post where Emily Gup, one of Pattern Pulp’s intrepid contributors, compiled a long list of themed options. It just so happens that the rugs posted from NuLOOM are currently on sale at One Kings Lane. Go crazy, have a ball. I did. The black and white graphic jigsaw puzzle will soon have a home in downtown Manhattan.
