Little Lady

GUYS. Guys, I love matryoshka so much, and I've found so many awesome matryoska items recently that I decided to dedicate this week to these wonderful nesting dolls, starting with today's totally blinged-out option: a minaudiere from (who else?) Judith Leiber:

Places you could carry this: 1) a retrospective show of some Russian artist's work, 2) the Russian Tea Room in New York City, 3) a Russian wedding; 4) or pretty much anywhere; at least, I would carry it anywhere, but maybe that's the difference between me and the rest of the world? And even if it's out of your price range--it's certainly out of mine--you can look at this lovely piece and admire the craftsmanship!

Buy through Judith Leiber for $4,995.00.

PS Charlotte Olympia also has a matryoshka handbag, this one slated for pre-fall 2012!

Spoon It to Me

I've mentioned Baccarat before, when I covered this lovely ring. But did you know that they also make some great housewares? Like this little lovely:

Now, I have to tell you the truth: I have absolutely no use for a jam jar. I don't even eat jam that much, although I do have a jar of lemon curd in my fridge. But look at how cute! And it comes with a spoon! And if I had that kind of money sitting around, I would definitely buy this just to have it on my little table. It would be the classiest touch ever, no?

Buy through Baccarat for $380.00.

A Cut Above

Lord and Taylor has a new Home section on their website, largely loaded with Lauren Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein Home products. My favorite is definitely the Calvin Klein Random Cut Vase, seen here:

The picture may be small, but the impact is huge. This vase belongs in any well-appointed living room, perhaps as a centerpiece on a low black coffee table. Where would you put it?

Buy through Lord and Taylor for $125.00.
