Right now, we want decorative dogs, color board clocks and more.
We loved identifying gemstones as kids. A few years later, we’re partial to the way artist Cori Kindred pairs words with pretty rock collections in vintage boxes. $58 at etsy.com/shop/corikindred.
Turns out French textiles company Les Toiles du Soleil and Cole Haan make a cute couple. We’ll add one pair of the collab’s Jill Chukka lace-ups to our summer shopping spree. $198 only at Cole Haan’s SoHo location; call the store (212-219-8240) to order.
Having a pet can be expensive. And you might even get sticker shock at the price of Maggie and Oatmeal, the adorable decorative dogs. But just remember, these pooches (handmade from recycled newspaper) won’t require food, walks and trips to the vet. $198 each at oliveandcocoa.com.
For us, it’s the summer of color. Our latest vibrant obsession? This color board clock. Because it features every hue of the rainbow (and then some!), it’ll go with just about everything in your room. $49 at urbanoutfitters.com.
