Howkapow!!!

Howkapow is a colourful online shop featuring unique work from new and independent designers. Opened in December 2010 by young husband-and-wife team, Rog and Cat How, it supports and promotes emerging designers with a stand-out, smile-inducing style. And I'm slightly obsessed. This shop is fantastic.

Color Spotting - Peas, Carrots & Corn

tim walker’s vivienne westwood.

when i was a kid growing up, everything in our house was green, orange and yellow. i liked to call it ‘peas, carrots & corn’ – just like the little vegetable nibblets you’d find in a frozen tv dinner on a friday night, when you’re parents would leave you home with the babysitter. i’m seeing a lot of it all over again – major flashback time! so here you go…this week, i spy ‘peas, carrots & corn’.

Typographic Home Decor

After seeing all the great font content coming up today, I was inspired to add a few typographic touches to my own home. The best thing about type in print is that it is incredibly versatile — be it small or large scale, blocks of text, single words or single letters, it all looks great in the right context. The same goes for type design in home decor, which explains why there are almost as many great font-related design objects as there are typefaces. With that mind, I rounded up some of my favorite pieces of furniture and home accessories that incorporate type in some way. Since every typeface has a different personality, it follows that not all typographic home decor would have the same feel. So I separated the items into three different styles. Enjoy!

Urban Outfitters Winter Sneak Peek

There are over 90 new products soon to be rolled out at an Urban Outfitters near you (at least in North America, not sure about the ones here in Europe) To see the other 7, you’ll need to click here. Sorry, not all of these are online yet so not too many links, you’ll have to keep checking their website: a. mustache mug b. mustache ornament (or to use on your keychain) c. aviator camera d. twin lens camera e. journals in pretty pastels f. alice in wonderland glasses g. Crosley retro alarm clock.

Some of these products are available here on the Urban Outfitters website (North America). More will be added to their site soon so keep watching them for updates. I love all of the aqua blue electronics and the fun cameras, and the mustache mug.

LOOKING FORWARD: J.CREW SPRING 2011

Forget the runways. If you want to know where color is really heading, look no further than the J.Crew Spring 2011 collection for some serious inspiration...

The palette is retro and the shapes simple and wearable as always.

I'm especially loving the bubblegum pinks, emerald greens, and every possible shade of denim blue. But my favorite combo might be that rich bronze with a pop of lilac. Yum.
