[ By WebUrbanist in Design & Furniture & Decor. ]

For those of us not ashamed to show off our favorite volumes, what better way to both keep them handy and apparent than with furniture that blends both storage and seating like the ever-more-(in)famous Bibliochaise.

Nobody&Co has released an ottoman and a wall shelving unit now in addition to their Regular, Plus and Glossy versions of the original chair that inspired them in all kinds of cool (and kitsch) color, black and white combinations.

Each piece shares a similar simple modular approach, using a series of slots and other regularly-spaced voids to create a series of interactive opportunities to define your own desires for storing books or other objects.

Build This Look: Mixing Work with Play

Posted on by

Most office environments can be a bit blah when it comes to showcasing personal style. But not ours! Yes, our office is probably better than yours ;) We have young ladies running around that bring something fresh to the office everyday and I LOVE it. Our business casual is probably on a different scale then most. So I thought I should show you how we do it.

One thing I am a big fan of is mixing patterns. I think it brings out what is really going on in my head. I will definitely be that old crazy lady where nothing on matches…and look forward to it! But until then here is the clever way of pairing prints without catching too many crazy looks.

Ready to be impressed? As if her quickly growing career didn’t already win your affection, Dev had a baby last month and is already back at doing her rockstar thing. Brittany over at What The Hellz?! posted a behind the scenes look at the set of “Dancing Shoes”, her latest single off the upcoming (delayed release) The Night The Sun Came Up album. We adore the BFFL relationship between Dev and the Hellz gals, they’ve really cross promoted each other all the way to the top. Watch the making of clip above and the full video below!

Cheap Monday’s S/S 2012 Runway Video

Cheap Monday is starting to trickle in, and per usual, the Swedish brand is offering up some outstandingly comfortable gear for this spring. What we like most about the Spring-Summer 2012 collection is the trendy details (isn’t it always in the details?): bold colorblocked stripes, unusual necklines, and quirky silhouettes. Consistently presenting a high-fashion runway show each season, the brand’s new pieces were presented with nostalgic and romantic sensibilities hinting at the naivety of our parents’ youth. Watch the video above to scope out the whole collection.

Stylist: Naomi Itkes | Make up: Anya de Tobon
Hair: Erika Svedjevik | Set design: Tonie Zetterström | Music: Erik Haal
Casting: Marcus Pettersson | Show Coordinator: Lotta Andersson

P.S. Mark your calendars… A week from today, January 31, Cheap Monday’s Autumn/Winter 2012 show will be streamed live on Style.com at 10 am EST!

WeSC x The Standard Hotel Capsule Collection

Posted on by

The Standard Hotels and WeSC know a thing or 2 about traveling in style: one is a premier boutique hotel group catering to the trendy and fabulous, the other is a lifestyle brand with international clout. Clearly the Standard Culture appeals to WeSC Activists given the design and art sensibilities of both entities. To commemorate a capsule collection, WeSC artists including Cheryl Dunn, Giovanni Reda, Steed Lord, Beth Riesgraf and FriendsWithYou compiled short films for each of the Standard Hotel locations.

The collab consists of luggage tags, wallets, phone cases, and passport holders in solid leather, assigning colorways according to the cities that The Standard calls home (New York, Downtown LA, Hollywood, and Miami). Finally, the cherry on top is a set of headphones to drown out those crying babies and rowdy frat boys on your flight.

Shop the collection for a post-holiday gift to yourself (wouldn’t it be nice to plan a weekend getaway with your tax return?)! To delve further into the collaboration, check out the videos below and head over to WeSCpedia for the full breakdown.

One of our #1 picks for edgy-glam comfort pieces is Unif. In their holiday collection video, “Go To Hell For Heaven’s Sake” (filmed by Luis Ramos and styled by Eric and Christine of Christeric), we are quickly transported to intimate scenes and a playful couple, ending at what appears to be an epic beach bonfire. The new set of apparel includes girly lace, chiffon, and robe-inspired items, ruggedly contrasted by a tattered sweater, bondage trimmed skirt, and biker jackets. Check it out and tell us what you think!

Mata Hari’s Blogger Collection

Posted on by

We cannot wait for the winter Mata Hari collection to drop. Peppered with influence from past collaborators Linda Lovemade and Melody Ehsani, this new set of bags borrows inspiration from some of the brand’s favorite bloggers, including US-based STOP IT RIGHT NOW, the UK’s Kingdom of Style, Putucos (also US-based), and Cindiddy from Hong Kong. Taking it one fabulous step further, Mata Hari had the blogger clan style the bags individually with their unique point of view. Above you can see Kingdom of Style, with Cindiddy, Putucos, and SIRN below.

Look Of The Week: Say Farewell To Summer

Posted on by

Alas, summer is slipping away, but there are so many things to look forward to in the Fall! My most favorite part of fall (okay maybe not most favorite.. gotta remember apple picking, pumpkin carving, and leaf piles!) is the layering! Just the perfect temperature to layer sweaters over your favorite summer dresses, without having to bundle up too much (like you are forced to do in winter). This look is perfect for going out for coffee with your friends or just strolling through the park on a crisp, early fall afternoon.

Layering a maxi dress under a sweater (made more interesting by knotting it), and pairing with a sleek hat and some fierce footwear, this is a staple look for any closet!
