Fun stuff for home: Pantone chairs, type door mats and gem like speakers

cool stuff for home

I’m so looking forward to meeting up with my friend Erin today. She’s visiting a bunch of us bloggers here in Brooklyn. I wanted to go to the blogger party yesterday but I have a freelance job that I neeeeded to work on. I am going to see her today for brunch!! Which reminded me of these amazing pantone chairs she found that I’ve had a star on in my reader for ever. So I put together this round up of fun stuff for your home.

Here’s more info on the goods:

  1. Pantone folding chairs
  2. Lucian M. Smith “That’s What She Said” doormats
  3. Audio Technica speakers via Sub-Studio

Easy outfit for every day in gray

gray outfit

Anyone who reads Maquette diligently will recall numerous posts dedicated to the perfect easy breezy dress. I’m always on the hunt. I wish I could fill my wardrobe with pieces like this. I want to just be polished and neat all the time but have it be totally effortless. If that’s my fashion goal I better get started with this C&C number. Black makes me feel dull but I love gray. Something about it always seems crisp and fresh:

  1. C&Ctee-dress
  2. Marc Jacobsaviator sunglasses
  3. Dannijoiphone cover (don’t have one but think I need one soon, my 80’s-esq car phone cell has got to go!)

Also, if you want to be blown away with love and sweetness check out this article about a couple who discover their paths crossed in Disney World when they were children (the husband saw himself in a stroller in the background of a shot of his wife- whoaaaa!).

My husband and I made a similar discovery. We went to camp together and were in the same group, read about it on Smitten.
