Spend A Day with Kate and I am sure you will find some perfect things that you have been craving for quite some time … me personally I have been eyeing one of the lomography cameras for a long time.
Beatrix NY, Pop Cutie and Fjällräven were recently added to their collection and the good news is A Day with Kate is able to ship worldwide … so what are you waiting for!
I think it was in Spain that I first saw people wearing a bag from the Cambridge Satchel company. I like these very affordable but stylish bags. Which color would you prefer a bright and eyecatching color or one of the new softer tones?
Compact travel gear to keep warm and comfy on the open road or in the sky
Whether travel plans include a redeye in economy or a night under the open sky, trying to get some sleep outside of the typical sheets-mattress combo often means a stressful following day. Rather than desperately buy the overpriced, bulky versions at the airport, I recently checked out Design Salt’s Cocoon collection of travel sheets, pillows and blankets.
The lightweight “sleep gear for adventurers” squashes into small packs and unfolds into any number of sleep systems designed around specific needs. With 11 fabric choices, choosing a a climate-appropriate cloth—from all-purpose, fast-drying silk to SeaCell for humidity—is simple.
I took the inflatable u-shaped pillow on a cross-country flight recently and was happy to deplane kink-free. For those who prefer the window, the rectangular pillows work perfectly as window-fillers and similarly pack into a compact size.
The Travel Sheets are great on the go as a lightweight sleeping bag or liner (for those who like to sleep in the nude). Perfect for long flights, the sleep sack comes in various weights for adding an extra layer of warmth inside a sleeping bag and they make a version specifically-designed for mummy bags.
Modern travel means packing light, and the Cocoon gear fits that requirement without sacrificing quality construction and fabrics.

Causing a stir of excitement at the recent Stockholm Design Week, Icelandic design group Vík Prjónsdóttir showed its latest collection of wool blankets inspired by a mixture of myths, folklore and the lure of nature.
The collective, widely known for their Beardcap, dates back to 2005 and includes the founding designers Brynhildur Pálsdóttir, Egill Kalevi Karlsson, Guðfinna Mjöll Magnúsdóttir, Hrafnkell Birgisson, Þuríður Rós Sigurþórsdóttir and the knitting factory Víkurprjón. With a philosophy honoring their pedigree, Vík Prjónsdóttir sources ideas and materials from its surroundings, so that each product can be traced back to its Icelandic roots.
For its newest blanket project, the collective threw out all preconceptions of form and function to create a selection of conceptual designs, each challenging usability with a bold graphic identity and captivating set of colorways. Offerings range from a Michael Jackson homage (a black-and-white throw covered in handprints and leaves) to a blanket meant to create space for communing with the hidden world.
Having collaborated in the past with Henrik Vibskov for his A/W 2008 collection, Vík Prjónsdóttir seems to be coming into their own—potentially joining the likes of Maarten Baas or Jaime Hayón as a studio known for creating wild flights of fantasy in the interior design market. Prices start upwards of $200, check their
