Lorena Barrezueta: Fabulous gourmet containers

Lorena Barrezueta gourmet containers

In my last post I mentioned finding Lorena Barrezueta‘s containers at Matter in Brooklyn. How whimsical, fun, pretty, and useful. Her concept is so fantastic, Chinese food aluminum take out containers done in ceramic with stunning colors. I’m smitten. I covet the Fresh collection in tomato and turquoise.

We’re trying to get an apartment in Brooklyn, If we do, I’ll splurge on some Fresh pieces.

Here’s a great interview from a while back with Lorena on Design*Sponge.

Here’s where you can buy her beautiful work from Brooklyn to Australia.

A MATTER of good lighting

MATTER lighting

Matter is an amazing shop in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and online. They carry the most beautifully designed objects for the home as well as jewelry and art. I discovered Lorena Barrezueta there. I’ll have to do a post on her soon.

Anyway, I love Matter’s lighting collection. It’s so modern, clean and elegant. I want to move into a spacious loft so that I can decorate it with items from Matter. Sometimes I just peruse their products online for a little eye candy feast. These are just a few of my favorite lights.

1. 3 pendant by Omer Arbel at Bocci

2. Smoke Chandelier by Maarten Baas at Moooi

3. Double Octopus Chandelier Red by Seyhan Ozdemir and Sefer Caglar at Autoban

I guess I’m thinking a lot about lighting lately.

Lucky Magazine online launch, Violet Gaynor: fashion editor, and her favorite high waisted jeans

Lucky Launch

I’m so proud of one of my oldest and best friends (since we were 11) Violet Moon Gaynor. She’s the most creatively fashionable person I know. Violet’s personal style has always been a dichotomy of opposites. She creates looks few can pull off with such aplomb, maintaining an individual style evocative of the fabulous glamour of the past with a trendy twist of now. She’s eclectic yet chic and polished. She can throw on her dad’s shorts, her grandpa’s watch, her grandmothers lace gloves, Prada 4 inch heels, and a tailored coat and stop traffic. She makes it look effortless (It doesn’t hurt that she’s stunningly beautiful).

It’s fitting that she is the new online fashion editor at Lucky online. Violet you never cease to amaze me. I’m Lucky to be your friend all these years.

Peruse Violet’s and the other Lucky fashion crew’s high waisted pants obsessions.

Violet’s favorite pair can be seen and bought here.
