Shopper’s Diary: John Derian for Target

From Francesca:

I just read that John Derian, master of the decoupage plate, will be producing a capsule collection for Target, which is good news for his many admirers. His line of coasters, plates, frames, vases, and other home accessories will be available starting September 14; most pieces will be under $20.

Shopper’s Diary: Few and Far

From Sarah:

There seems to be no end to the creative talents of the Conran dynasty. Priscilla Carluccio, sister to Sir Terence, is a veteran of the design world, and she brings her curatorial talents to her new store, Few and Far. The shop is a mix of vintage, contemporary, limited pieces, and hand-crafted goods for the home, all of which change seasonally. The summer look featured French cafe furniture, fishing nets with chestnut handles, Lobmeyer glasses, Moroccan orange wood spoons, and lots of nautical touches. Although the shop is in Knightsbridge, not far from the V & A, it feels intimate and friendly: there’s a small rose shop at the entry, cake is served on Fridays, and the staff wears green gingham aprons.

This tiny beach hut on the English coast, decked out in full Cath Kidston English-cottage regalia, is the aesthetic opposite to Studiomama’s Beach Chalet we featured earlier this summer. Image via Shoot Factory.
