Hermes: Branding At Its Best

Hermes, essentially, owns the color orange.

and if you can't afford some Hermes orange, here's a lacquer tray that fits the bill (pun intended).

lalanne: pomme d'hiver

my all time favorite sculpture.  would sell a kidney for this.

so. in. love.

can't imagine a better boot and, my oh my, that brass detail is insane.

haynes-roberts

 stumbled upon this design firm and am so in love.  i remember tearing out the dining room below with the drool-worthy angel wing chairs many years ago and never knew who had designed it.  their rooms offer lots of white but unbelievable texture and interest everywhere you look.

CLOSET: coveted cashmere

this double-faced cashmere sweater looks like heaven.  too bad it requires a not-6-and-a-half-months-pregnant belly to fit into it...oh, and over $1200 (side note).

il duomo

how exactly can i get back to this place?

CLOSET: loeffler randall fall 2012

so many little goodies from loeffler randall's fall collection.  their shoes are truly the most comfortable shoes i own (aside from my running shoes, of course).  this fall, they introduced a line of handbags and, let me just say, "wow."  enough said.

THE WHOLE PACKAGE

packaging is often excruciatingly under-emphasized.  with a little thought and creativity, you can make your product really stand out.  these businesses definitely fit the bill on great packaging.
