My UPPERCASE Purchases

Posted on by Hijiri

I mentioned that I ordered something from UPPERCASE the other day, and I got it finally! I waited for so long at the post office, it is the crazy season to be in the post office… but it was worth it.

The Eclecto Type Treasures – packs of random goodies from vintage liqueur & food labels to plastic sign letters that they put together, you never know what you will get, but this sounded like exactly what I would love no matter what’s inside so I ordered it and…

Mine is like this:

woooooo I love every single one of them!

Cool “F” and “B” “E” are cute, too:

A Vintage liqueur label – very nice.

I love this one – the types are awesome.

and also, I ordered Eclecto Pad – 3 of them!

I’m keeping “H” one for myself, but I gave “X” and “O” to my husband for Christmas (we did our presents opening already before we do our family’s.) They are so great, perfect for a little notes around your desk!

For Christmas Eve morning inspiration. Happy Holidays, everyone!!!

I came across these great prints with great typography at SuZanna Anna etsy store. I love the combination of different type and each letter has cute pattern to it, the texture is nice, and each word is really strong… I love it! She has more, but here are my picks.

For Friday morning inspiration. Happy Friday, everyone!

Type Mug

Posted on by Hijiri

I feel like I’ve seen this execution a lot these days, with different words and fonts played around together, nicely laid out together… or does it just keep catching my eye because I am simply drawn to typography?

This mug cup I saw at Barnes and Noble is no exception. Love the “CAFFEINE” font.

It’s from the Jonathan Adler collection for the Barnes and Noble – Lots of fun and chic patterns and goods for your office!

The Leather Presentation Book and Accessory Case I saw at the store are actually really nice. The pattern is embossed and so it has a nice texture and looks very chic.

Christian Lacroix + Evian

Posted on by Hijiri

I stop by Dean & Deluca in SOHO sometimes to get breakfast or lunch and I’ve been seeing this really pretty evian bottle that Christian Lacroix have designed – it always catches my eye and it’s such a treat to see everytime I go there. It’s perfect for holiday party or holiday decoration in the kitchen or bar area, too. They are selling it for 8 dollars. I might get it when I don’t have much stuff to carry…

and I was searching online to learn more about it and came across this another pretty bottle called Evian Pinnacle Bottole / Haute Couture… how awesome and pretty is this one! I think I’m in love… more info here and Evian’s website.

Apparently, they have a Jean Paul Gaultier bottle, too. That’s so great that they are collaborating with top fashion designers! For Friday morning eye candy. Can’t believe it’s Friday already…!
