contemporary ceramics by Keith Brymer Jones

While perusing One Kings Lane, this tableware caught my eye! White and simple. Traditional and modern at the same time. I’m all over it.

Keith Brymer Jones is a British ceramic designer. His designs have graced many great US stores and boutiques, such as Barney’s NY and Habitat. I love that his line is a work of art yet also practical: all of the porcelain items can go in the microwave and dishwasher.

I mean I fell in love with a butter dish. How lovely is this???

Oil & Vinegar set!

Bananas over this Coffee Canister (& I don’t even DRINK coffee)

“I like to create modern pieces that are bold and simple, stylish yet traditional, pleasing to the eye, and useful in the modern home” – Keith Brymer Jones

simple stripes

I love stripes. But mainly when it’s just white and one other alternating color. These are what I warmly refer to as “simple stripes”. 🙂

Stripes are timeless.

They can be vintage.

…or modern.

They have that feeling that puts you right at home.

They can be casual.

Or sophisticated too.

I love these cork wedges by Tom’s. I picture them with a cute little white summer dress.

Neutral cardigan from Anthropologie…

Rug with a nautical feel.

Striped Placemats from Horchow.

Chambray Striped Pillow Covers from West Elm.

And just to think, this satchel from Aldo is what inspired this post. When I went shopping last week and saw this, I died and went to handbag heaven! Isn’t it adorable??

I noticed the other day at Kohl’s that Lauren Conrad came out with her Spring Collection and I was beyond excited. I absolutely adore her line because 1) its cheap and easily assessible 2) its up to date with vintage flair 3) it’s like a hidden gem – seriously like my best kept secret! But oh my faithful blog readers, I will open it up to you :). The clothes are a little pricey for what you expect at Kohl’s, but they run sales practially every week. Subscribe to their emails and you will get $5 off for joining, and coupons for like 20% off. So you can get that tank thats originally priced $40 for $20-ish after sale and discounts.
