If there was ever a material making a comeback as of late it’s definitely Felt. Not only does it have a great look, it’s structural properties are extremely interesting; lightweight, sturdy, malleable -all things designers typically drool over. Belgian design-duo James Van Vossel and Tom de Vrieze, through their creative coop Fox & Freeze, have created an ingenious indoor lounge chair set to rival the Fat Boy you’ve got in your living room. Made from a single square sheet of synthetic felt, the FF1 Chair is entirely self-supporting, with only a flax rope added for aesthetic purposes. Surprisingly sturdy, the twisting of the felt flows together to create the seat & base.

Stores we love…Collette!!

The name Frette is synonymous with luxury because of the company’s long-standing passion for quality. Edmond Frette established the fine linen company in Grenoble, France in 1860. Along with his partners, Frette created a firm focused solely on fabric, allowing them to become the worldwide leader in the specialty. Soon two factories were established in Sovico and Concorezzo, Italy, where the company is still based today. Frette opened retail stores in Milan, and its first boutique opened on Bond Street in London in 1877, offering linens of the highest quality. Since then Frette linen has expanded worldwide, from Hong Kong to Beverly Hills and in 1978 Frette sheets became available in the United States…

*Frette…linens to hoard…

What to buy: Since the holidays are quickly approaching…these are some fab gift ideas for the ladies!

Voluspa Japanese Plum Bloom candles are my second favorite candle next to KOBO. These last incredibly long and the packaging is insane!

Commando Wild Thongs are amazing…I’m always looking for the perfect undergarments and these come pretty close. No lines, super comfortable, and they come in a ton of cute colors!

Temptu

My girl Simone Berry, (the third in the Trifecta) can’t stop raving about the TEMPTU® AIRbrush Makeup System. Apparently this handheld AIRbrushing tool sprays a natural-finish foundation, blush, and highlighter, leaving skin looking untouched—never retouched. I’m literally running down to try it out…anything that will let me get rid of messy brushes sounds great to me!!

I found these Oslo Tealight Holders at Crate & Barrel. So sleek and stylish, they make the perfect gift or the perfect dining/table accessory for the holidays.

This Commes des Garcons Clover wallet can hold four credit cards and has a snap coin purse with zip-around closure…available in black or brown.

Just a little provocative game for the bedroom!

Kobo candles are my absolute favorite…each soy wax candle is hand poured and is completely enviromentally safe. I literally go through these things weekly!! There’s at least over 25 different scents, my #1 pick is Watermint, then #2 Fresh Currant - each candle comes with their own set of matches and extinguishing cover. (I don’t recommend Vanilla Citrus) $32

Where to Buy: MXYPLZ (Greenwich Ave/Horatio St - NYC) or online…
