it can!) So I say Maximize your Minimalism!

succulents and other waxy flora
particular loves
bamboo, coral, moss, woodgrain, silhouettes & other cut-outs, plastic,

favorite heel style
the wedge, but a sleek modern interpretation
second favorite
the stiletto
current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

shopping trip: a&g merch
If you find yourself in Williamsburg on North 6th and Berry, you will be pleased to find A&G Merch, a great new affordable design store for the home, and in my opinion, an ideal one-stop-shop for birthday gifts. So nice in fact that your shopping will go a bit like this: one for friend-in-question, one for me... Well that is what happened when I shopped there anyway. Note the two notepads in Tuesday's post. The store is unmarked but jam-packed with colorful goodies. You can find it right next door to The Future Perfect, the design store that will make you fantasize about your luxurious lifestyle, also owned by Dave Alhadeff. I'll let you look around the store a bit, and then I'll tell you more pertinent shopping details.
The grand view: the stacked plastic chairs are an attention-grabber, and with my Penchant for Plastic, I was sucked into the store.
Affordable antlers! The luxe version with the lights (like they have at Lodge on Grand St.) is for sale next door.
Tiki Coasters, $9, set of four
Pillows by Hybrid Home
Now don't you want to take a field trip and explore? There are plenty more goodies, large and small. My friend Elizabeth will be happy to learn that Merch carries all of those animal pillows by Salvor too. The store has no website as of yet (they are brand new), so you will have to hoof it. Take the L to Bedford and walk towards the river. Stop for a bite at SEA to refuel. And then shop some more!
