and on a similar note

How could you resist a hamburger purse as cute as this one? Also from Lazy Oaf. Can you believe they once made a matching hat? Oh well. Should have shopped sooner.

Have we got the perfect party accessory for you. This necklace by Lazy Oaf, an awesome East London-based creative label started by Gemma Shiel in 2001. The Grin Necklace gives you a "gleaming set of nashers." Haha. So British. Imagine how everyone will be drawn to you the moment you enter the room.

spring into spring (tomorrow)

photo of the actual lawn at Bryant Park, taken this morning


You should have seen how hard the crews worked to install this
lawn. The moment Fashion Week was over, they were rolling out the dirt,
leveling it off, and laying the sod. I think they worked for 8 solid days,
just on the lawn! Amazing.


"spontaneous nature" in Bryant Park. Anything blooming
or about to bloom is very exciting to a city dweller.


This looks like a perfect spot for lunch. You should have seen the
park yesterday! Everyone was so happy, sitting in the sun,
munching on sandwiches. Things of that nature.

One more day 'til Spring! And look, they "installed" the lawn in Bryant Park. Just in time!

I should have titled this post, "Let there be Lawn."

Did you hear about what happened to Shepard Fairey at the opening of his first solo museum exhibition, "Supply & Demand" at the ICA Boston? I know, this happened quite awhile ago by now. But it is still an important issue to think about. Read all about it here. There are so many who are outraged about this. Including the Director of the ICA, Jill Medvedow. Below, some articles to check out.

I am not sure if I am getting into copyright infringement by re-posting the above photo. Anything to do with Shepard Fairey these days is just a hotbed of controversy.

Parade preparations were well underway this morning on 5th Avenue for the 248th Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in NYC. Think about that. Two hundred forty-eight consecutive St. Patrick's Day parades! The parade is older than our country. On my way to Dollhouse this morning, I heard many bagpipes and got into the spirit. It is always exciting to be in New York.

Super-designed RV vacation anyone? You can certainly travel in style in this Caravan Concept by a European company called Merhzeller. Designed by Christian Freisling and Thersa Kalteis, and sponsored by BMW among others, "the Caravan Concept is a traditional hitched travel trailer that's skinned inside and out with more polygons" than you can count. Apparently you can custom-design your own trailer of your dreams. I like the model shown, with the the wood floors, counters and table top.

This is all done with needle and thread. Pretty neat. I love the guitarist's rainbow chevron vest. I believe the keyboardist is a yeti, a popular subject for the artist. To learn a bit about Megan's inspirations and creative processes, check out "A Stitch in Time," an article in which she is featured in the June/July 2008 issue of Bust.

The caption reads: Wage is learning to use his new macro lens.
He spends every afternoon in the backyard practicing his craft.

The caption reads: From the hip. Wage 171/365

The caption reads: Wage took this in the mirror. :)

My search for "dollhouse" on Flikr lead me to "dollhouses" yesterday, and ultimately to "dolls." A natural progression really. I like this Flikr photostream. Photo David's photostream. I include it here, for your viewing pleasure. I wonder if Wage is also a blogger?

Browsing Dollhouse(s) on Flikr, I came across this cozy and comfortable room. I like her set up. Ok, I think I am done with my dollhouses tangent for the time being.

dollhouse featured in wwd

Please turn to page 11 of your March 5, 2009 WWD. Dollhouse is featured in an article by Julee Kaplan called "Banking on Teens for B-t-s." BTW, B-t-s means Back-to-school. To quote a bit, if I may,

For Dollhouse, the coming b-t-s season means returning to its roots and offering a full assortment of junior sportswear.

"We've been in business for 30 years, and years ago we did well with every classification," said Valerie Krioski, vice president of sales at Dollhouse." In more recent years, our core has become denim, but for fall we are concentrating on offering the full package -- tops, dresses, skirts and jeans. We want to be known as the one-stop shop where a girl can outfit herself from head-to-toe."

They also included a really nice photo from our current photoshoot. I will see if I can get a page print of the article for you later today. Update: See below.

shake shack!

Well, I'm back despite what the Magic Eight Ball had to say. Call me an optimist, or sadly misguided. Whichever you want. Daylight Savings (or is it the end of Daylight Savings?) starts Saturday night!! That means Spring is just around the corner! Ignore the cold and the snow, and get yourself to the Shake Shack today for some of their delicious frozen custard. Today's flavor is Strawberry Blonde. Look there is no line right now. It is a perfect time to go!

If you don't want to go right this minute, check the Shake Shack Web Cam before you plan your trip. My advice: go before it gets warm to beat the hour-long line! Tomorrow's custard flavor is Cinnamon Toast. Mmm!

will it be a good day today?

I hope so. But just to be sure, let's ask the Magic Eight Ball.





Okay, well... I guess I'll see you all later. You can't really argue with technology.

dollhouse market week presentation

Market Week at Dollhouse's New York Showroom

Dollhouse gave an exciting presentation of its new and expanded 2009 Collections on Tuesday night at its New York Showroom with an exclusive cocktail party for buyers and press, as part of Market Week (March 2-6, 2009).

Dollhouse, a highly-energized and on-trend juniors denim brand since 1996, showed a much-expanded line of denim that included jeans, shorts, rompers, jumpsuits, vests, jackets and light-weight flouncy dresses, with many new exciting washes and surface treatments that had the editors buzzing. Another new category that prompted stylists to "do a pull" on the spot: a very full line of non-denim wovens that included plaid shirts, blouses, lacey mini skirts, and summer-weight linen dresses, rompers and jumpers.

Dollhouse, already known for going boldly beyond denim with two established categories, Outerwear and Footwear, showcased these latest collections to positive reviews. Continuing that momentum, Dollhouse previewed two new categories: Intimates and Sleepwear to bow this Spring 2009 on dollhouse.com with a national rollout in stores later this year, and Slippers and Hosiery to bow in Spring 2010. Exciting things are happening at Dollhouse!
