wythe hotel

journaled under: creatives, far away, gentlemen, yum

Dearest Brooklyn,

You’ve been calling my name for soo long now. And since many of my favorite creatives call you home + favorite shoppes line your streets, I know you must be pretty special.

So when I read that you’d gone and outdone yourself with the debut of Wythe Hotel, Williamsburg’s latest, it pretty much sealed the deal – I’m coming to visit!

Wythe Hotel started with the discovery of an old factory on the Brooklyn waterfront. Built in 1901 as a cooperage, we have preserved, renovated, and turned our historically industrial building into a place where people feel welcome.

Who’s coming with me?

the real cookbook

The Real Cookbook: the first cookbook you can read, cook and eat.

All hail Korefe, the clever design firm behind this edible beauty. They are one of Germany’s most highly awarded design agencies, and well, I can see why. Major kudos!

Made out of 100% fresh pasta it can be opened, filled with ingredients and finally be cooked. Packaged as classic lasagna. The Cookbook was designed as a special project for a large publishing house.

And…Bitteschön! (aka voilà!)

Amelie & Friends is a new fav, branded to a t by I Love Dust. Such cleverly designed goodies!

This darling little eatery is a must-see on my UK travel list, boasting two Michelin star chefs and charming interiors. What more can you ask for?

wb&co

WB&CO packaged to perfection.

Those clever Brits surely have outdone themselves with their London line of organic vegetable juices. So pretty, and I imagine equally as tasty.

I love that healthy is the new normal, with gorgeous branding to boot. It makes me so happy to see design elevated to a new standard, with flawless and thoughtful packaging at the forefront.

Judging a juice by its bottle? Why yes; A+ in my book!

herriott grace

journaled under: creatives, decor, products, shoppe, styling, yum

Herriott Grace is one of the most beautiful shoppes, lovingly built and curated by a father-daughter duo. I love their story.

all of our products are made from 100% salvaged wood,
are one of a kind and
are either hand-carved (spoons)
or hand-turned (bowls, mortar & pestles & pedestals)
from beginning to end.

each piece is finished with corn oil,
the wood used varies in type, age and origin
and has not been treated with any chemical agents.

price is determined based on time spent,
origin and rarity.

no two pieces are exactly the same
in this vein, none are perfect
they are handcrafted
and thus may contain slight imperfections.

Isn’t that wonderful? You can see the beauty intended in every product, and it’s executed oh so beautifully.
