Molami @ 8:58 AM
I love everything about
Molami - to their products, packaging & design. Swedish industrial designer Maria von Euler perfected these designer looking headphones down to the packaging (reminiscent of Apple products). I especially love the
Twine style.

D.S. & Durga is a husband & wife duo that handcrafts their perfume & cologne in small batches. Located in Brooklyn, each scent holds it's own story and is labeled with a unique batch code.
I recently picked up Tim a bottle of "Italian Citrus", which happened to be batch #11 (what are the odds?!). It's the kind of cologne that's not overpowering but it stays on and smells unique. It made a great gift and I'm curious to try the Limited Edition "Staghorn Sumac". Check out their
site, where you can read about each scent & order online.

tea time @ 12:11 AM
I recently gave one of these gorgeous
Bellocq tea tins to a friend and I fell in love with them myself. They make me feel like I'm in the 1920's with this chic packaging, I kind of want to collect them all. Plus after the teas gone, these tins can serve as decoration or storage for anything else.
**BELLOCQ has just relocated their tea atelier to Greenpoint, Brooklyn and open today at 12pm :) Hooray!

I recently came across
Brock Davis' work and was blown away. He cleverly executes each of his simple but brilliant ideas. Here's a few of my favorites.
Gummy Bear Rug
Literal Java Jacket
Dark Side of Doritos
Also check out his branding work for Harley.

made with love @ 12:00 AM
I was completely blown away when I first saw this Magnetic DressUpDoll, even more so when I found out it was a gift for his girlfriend's birthday! The artist,
Markus Olhafen is a graphic designer based in Austria.
"This personal project I did as a birthday present for my girlfriend. I remembered myself back to primary school, when we made small puppets out of cardboard which could be dressed with paper clothes. I thought a little bit about the idea and how it could be realised without using paper, because it doesn't last long. So I came up with the idea of magnetic foil on which can be printed."
