Style: Fabric Horse, Bringing Back the Spat

MCM declared Fabric Horse “Best in Show” at our most recent Renegade Craft Fair. This Philadelphia-based duo designs and hand-stitches a line of “urban gear” made almost entirely from recycled materials. Their collections include iPhone and iPod pouches, utility belts and packs, and a series of pragmatically funky bags—all durable, water resistant, and eco-conscious.

The design that managed to really put a step in our walk, however, was the Fabric Horse urban-spun spats. Yes, you read correctly, "SPATS!' Inspired by a pair of ol’-time military gear, Fabric Horse has created a stylish, modern twist to a standard, service issue. Made with a waxed canvas, recycled bike tubes, and hearty, cotton laces, a pair of Fabric Horse spats manage to transform a common pair of loafers into a very-hip (and comfortably protective) boot.

Style: Swanson Vineyards' Sweetheart Gifting

Cheap California Cabs are not easy to find. At Swanson Vineyards, they not only offer $25 Cabs that drink like $50 dollar Cabs, each label includes its own inspired saying. Why not try a bottle of "With Love" or "Lucky Night" for your Valentine's Day sweetheart this year? And, if that won't do, a bottle of "Please Forgive Me" may be just what the love doctor ordered.

Style: Kevin Tong Captures the Spirit of Wes Anderson

Kevin Tong, a Los Angeles-based freelance illustrator and artist, creates some seriously-fun work. Although his portfolio ranges from editorial images to some rather cool concert posters, what caught our attention is his spot-on take of Wes Anderson’s movie trilogy triumph: Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and the Royal Tenenbaums. His silk screens (printed on wood or paper), capture Anderson’s whimsy-filled worlds perfectly. Each piece feels like a miniature set, highlighting Max Fischer’s long list of sidelines, Dignan’s Cold Storage capers, and Royal’s grand palace of eccentricities.

The Anderson-inspired prints are available online at Spoke Art, but if you don’t see what you’re looking for (or Wes Anderson isn’t your thing), contact Kevin or browse his very-diverse collection online. My husband was so anxious to buy a not-yet-available print for my birthday, he contacted Kevin and was given the most accommodating choice of having it mailed or picking it up directly from his studio. Kevin Tong’s creations, just like his customer-focus, are guaranteed to please. Details: http://spokeeditions.bigcartel.com/category/bad-dads-prints and http://www.tragicsunshine.com/

Style: Wabisabi Green Pillows Provide Easy Comfort

Taking in the last art fair of summer, I once again walked amongst the endless rows of homemade soaps, lawn art, and kettle corn booths. The sweaty masses, redundant offerings, and oil-laden air don’t deter me from showing up. I continue to return for the same reason everyone does—endlessly searching for the best-in-show artisan. The honor this visit was delivered to artist Jolee Pink’s Wabisabi Green—a line of throw pillows that brilliantly combine the fashionable, the affordable, and the eco-friendly.

Wabisabi, the Japanese idea of finding natural beauty in all things including the imperfect and incomplete, is the inspiration behind each design. Her three collections, Shore, Zen, and Leaf, showcase the Wabisabi concept beautifully. Pink’s pillows display a quiet perspective, exhibiting simple, natural patterns. Each piece is hand-printed on organic cotton using rich and deep, non-toxic inks. Designs include such favorites as papyrus, sea fan, and cherry blossom. For only $45 per cover (and an additional $20-$25 for organic kapok fiber or ecofiber inserts), these little beauties can easily transform any room in your home. Like discovering the finest artisan at a summer fair, Wabisabi Green pillows can transform the same ol’, same ol’ into a thing of beauty. Details: www.wabisabigreen.com

Adventure Chicago: The Vintage Bazaar, Cool Vintage Finds Despite the Heat

The Vintage Bazaar is a Chicago-based modern, urban flea market produced by two local designers, Katherine Raz and Libby Alexander. Most of the vendors are local vintage boutique owners and collectors from all around the region.There is a little something for everyone—vintage clothing, art, jewelry, glassware, and countless other oddities.

It only happens twice a year—summer and winter. The summer edition of the Vintage Bazaar is during the month of August—a time we refer to as the dog days. It also takes place at the old Congress Theater on Milwaukee Avenue without the aid of air conditioning. Let me be the first to tell you, it’s hot in there. Blistering would be more accurate; my skin was melting like the Wicked Witch of the West. The funny thing was, I didn’t mind. And neither did the hundreds of sweaty, happy-go-lucky devotees combing through booths of one-of-a-kind, funky finds at remarkable prices.

Don’t let me worry you too much about the heat because after all, there is beer—ice-cold beer. For the kiddies, there is pie being sold by Hoosier Mama Pie Company. What could better than cheap, eclectic finds, ice cold beer, and homemade pie? A hipster D.J. spinning really great tunes while you peruse the vendors, you say? Well, there is one of those, too.

Most items are ticketed at extremely reasonable prices, but if you have your eye on something that is a little more than you may want to spend, vendors are also willing to negotiate prices. Admission to the Bazaar is free. Details and updates for where and when it will be popping up next are available at www.thevintagebazaar.com.

Style: Threadless—Exceptional Tees with a Sense of Humor

In a society where you can buy so-called vintage tees at Old Navy, replica Arts and Crafts pottery at Target, and duplicated art prints at Poster Plus for all under 10 bucks, it's no wonder that most of us stick to big box store shopping. After all, time is precious and spending extra cash on extraneous possessions is simply not doable. Right? Not necessarily so. Sometimes the greatest joys in life involve spending a little extra money and time hunting for the eclectic, local, vintage, or special, one-of-a-kind item.

The MCMs have been longtime fans of a local Chi-town t-shirt company by the name of Threadless. Members of the "Threadless community" submit t-shirt designs online, where each one is voted on by the public. Selected designs are printed in limited supply and sold online and at their Chicago locations. After sporting our own Threadless tees for ten years, Threadless has finally introduced Threadless Kids. Now MCM children are able to wear and enjoy these shirts just as much as their parents do.

No matter who the artist, each Threadless design displays a keen sense of humor, designed with kids in mind. The kid’s tees include everything from a sausage hugging cheese to a cow that attempts to jump over the moon but manages to get stuck. These whimsical images are sure to put smiles on faces, giggles in throats, and spawn conversation between you and the little person in your life. In addition, Threadless offers art prints that can be framed or stretched on canvas for an additional opportunity to showcase their wares. Threadless has brilliantly proved that not every t-shirt is alike and sometimes it's just as easy to seek out something distinctive and creative instead of ordinary and accessible.

Style: Highway Designs for Today and Tomorrow

We first discovered Highway bags at our friend’s boutique, Glam to Go, in Chicago’s Roscoe Village. Each time I sport that purse, I’m flooded with compliments. This pragmatic, yet whimsical, bag has served me so well over the years, I thought it was time to go directly to the source.

Highway is New York fashion designer Jem Filippi’s second collection of wallets, computer-, shoulder-, and hand-bags. Her only store, located in Manhattan’s fashionable Nolita district, showcases her designs, constructed with Japanese nylons and soft leathers. Since we all can’t live in close proximity of Nolita, it’s important to note that these beauties can be found in over 100 boutiques across the country and also viewed online. From Filippi’s website, choose your style, color, and fabric and simply contact the Highway store for payment and delivery (or to find a boutique that carries the Highway brand near you).

Don’t be taken aback by the prices—Highway products are constructed with panache and durability. With over two dozen styles to choose from and a variety of beautiful color combinations, it’s easy to find a bag that suits your taste today and will still be wearable for many seasons to come. Details:

Style: It's Your Turn to Design with Remodelista

Mod City Mom attended the 2010 Dwell on Design event in Los Angeles. With over 200 vendors represented, Dwell does a great job of sifting through potential companies and only inviting the vendors who appeal to their Dwell readership. Focus areas include furniture, accessories, kitchen and bath, outdoor spaces, and building materials. As I was floating through the exhibition space, I felt so fortunate to be a part of this event—I wanted to share every little tidbit with our fans. Because only a few of us live in close proximity to the annual Dwell on Design event, have the time to weed through magazines, or the stamina to search the web for interesting design, there must be some way for everyone to collect this information as easy as it was for me on this Dwell-infused day. That’s when I, serendipitously, stumbled upon Remodelista—the online version of the Dwell on Design event.

Remodelista offers an online sourcebook for style and design. They spend countless hours browsing the web, design shops, and publications so you don’t have to—it’s the easiest way to “get inspired” since attending a design show of your very own. The site organizes information by design category. Steal This Look showcases rooms finished by top designers and provides links to the furniture, hardware, and accessories that are displayed. Prices and product details are all included. The 10 Easy Pieces section offers Remodelista’s top ten picks by category—from small kitchen appliances to wooden coffee tables to architect-designed flatware.

Design offerings range from high to low, cheap to expensive. Keep track of your favorites by using the My Design Files feature or access your picks by downloading the Remodelista app. Whether you sit on the precipice of a big design project or are just looking to replace an outdated item, Remodelista points you in the right direction.

Style: Matt Bernson Sandals, Now Those Are Some Happy Feet

Every spring I shuffle to my closet only to find that last year's summer shoes have been beaten to a pulp from being tirelessly worn the previously hot, sweaty summer. Yes, there are thousands of beautiful sandals to choose from, and yet, unlimited options are not what keeps me from buying them. I dread purchasing new summer shoes for one reason: PAIN.

Eventually, I decide on a couple chic, shiny, handsome pairs that look particularly divine on display in the store. Like clockwork, I cram my feet into the strappy sandals determined to break them in despite the protests from my feet. After a long winter of boot and sock wearing, my soft skinned, slightly fatter, overly spongy feet don’t appreciate my sense of humor when adorned with my latest summer duds. When nursing my blisters and sores after a days worth of wearing, I curse the days the sandal was ever born. When it came to my piggies, I thought that every summer for the rest of my life would consist of the “no pain, no gain” theory, until I found Matt Bernson!

Matt Bernson sandals are comfortable and stylish. My feet are totally in love. His shoes are a bit higher priced than your average strappy shoes but are well worth the purchase. Each shoe is hand-crafted in Brazil and has a comfy-cushy foot bed, beautiful detailing, and is made from gorgeous leather. Best of all, after my first summer, city walk, my feet were not even red, let alone raw and blistered. It’s no surprise that his most popular shoe is properly named The Love Sandal because they've given my piggies something to rejoice about. Details: www.mattbernson.com

Style: 3 Fish Studios, Falling in Love with Affordable Art

It's not easy to uncover affordable art, but periodically, we'll stumble on a find that's worthy of sharing—in this case, two finds. Husband and wife art team, Eric Rewitzer and Annie Galvin, create so many lovely and whimsical paintings, digital prints, and blockprints (linocuts), it's hard to determine which ones to buy.

I first discovered the dynamic duo after my friends turned me on to San Francisco's Zinc Details. Later, at a Los Angeles' Renegade Craft Fair, I had the opportunity to meet Eric and talk about their creations first-hand.

For over three years, their studio has been a home to art classes, a space for community events, and a testament to their creative endeavors. Now, fans of their work can also browse and purchase online! From post cards to limited editions, 3 Fish Studios has an affordable, artistic find (or two) to fall in love with.

Style: Muji's No Brand Quality Goods

On my last visit to New York, I stumbled into Muji by chance and was completely smitten by its minimalist design and unusual product offerings. I bought a bunch of gifts, distributed the bounty, and moved on, forgetting about my little discovery. Fast-forwarding to our recent trip to Italy, I once again was drawn to a Muji. The only difference this time is that I promised not to forget about this little wonder.


Originating in Japan, Muji sells household wares, clothing, accessories, and toys. As its name promises (translated to "no brand quality goods"), Muji emphasizes recycled products and de-emphasizes branding and packaging. Muji's offerings are inexpensive, available online, and perfect for your own household or as a gift.Their designs are beautifully simple, from a vertically striped, reused yarn tee to a bright and bold pencil set and notebook encased in paper bag-colored packaging. My personal favorite is their City in a Bag series. Tied up in a delicate, linen sack is a half a dozen or so little, wooden blocks that include a number of the most famous icons from our most beloved cities. Choose from New York, Tokyo, London, or Paris and enjoy them for yourself or watch your kids go to town. Details: www.muji.us

Style: Two Tree Designs, Something to Tweet About

We recently attended our local, artisan fair. Walking through the funnel cake eating masses and passing booth after booth of reggae paraphernalia, hair removal gimmicks, and hand-painted "this way to the beach" signs, I finally spied some light at the end of a very long, dark tunnel: Perched on a side street, away from the inflatable kids' toys and the kettle corn stand, was Two Tree Designs, standing like a beacon.

Two Tree Designs doesn't offer anything particularly fancy, but each item is whimsical, practical, and, well, cheap. I picked up the birdie bag with cellphone pouch and secret compartments for a mere $22.00. Use it as a school satchel, a travel carrier, a substitute diaper bag, or as a funky purse. Also offered are ol' school music designs, including turntables, microphones, and tape cassettes. Each design can be placed on a bag, laptop carrier, or t-shirt—buyer's choice. At these prices, why not buy one of each? Details: www.etsy.com/shop/twotreedesigns

Style: Got All Your Marbles?

Although I'm a pragmatist, carefully counting my indulgent purchases, always traveling lightly, and never drawing too much attention to myself, I'm also a big believer in a bit o' bling to spice up an outfit. When I stumbled upon a piece of jewelry that managed to marry practicality with style, I was sold.

Got All Your Marbles, started by an Arizona husband and wife partnership, offers a line of interchangeable earrings, pendants, and rings. Each purchase is accompanied with a beautiful bag filled with dozens of multi-colored marbles that can be switched-out to coordinate the jewelry with your look. Choose from a number of handmade designs that can be created in either sterling silver or gold—each piece affordable and stunning. Don't be alarmed by the too-busy website, the end-result will prove well worth it! Details: www.gotallyourmarbles.com

Style: Irresistible Wood Creations

Summer in Chicago brings with it a season of free outdoor concerts, farmer’s markets, and art fairs. There are several art shows that I attend every year in search of new artisans and unique finds. This year, I was fortunate to run into Sweitzer and Sweitzer, a father and son team who make exquisite shaker-inspired furniture. They specialize in custom tables, benches, and rockers—each piece warm, rich, and amazing.

Beyond furniture, what really caught my eye were their uniquely lovely cutting boards. Sweitzer and Sweitzer boards are made with a variety of midwestern woods, creating a beautiful, striped effect. Unlike most cutting boards that are made of a single wood, the utilization of several wood types enhances the color and distinctiveness of each piece. Boards and serving trays are available in different sizes and can be custom ordered to meet an individual’s personal requirements.

After purchasing a board for myself and a couple others as gifts, the father, Charlie, sat down to explain the different woods that made each of my purchases a one-of-a-kind. He had a glimmer in eye as he ran his hand over the wood and I understood why his work is so beautifully crafted—he and his son love what they do and it shows. Details: www.sweitzerandsweitzer.com

Style: Robots, Aliens, and Godzilla, Oh My—Doug Spalding's Colorful Ceramic Tiles

I am well aware that what I am about to say is a bit geeked-out, but I have always been strangely attracted to robots. Maybe this fascination can be traced back to my younger days sitting in front of the television watching Johnny Sokko, but, whatever the reason, I am always in search of artwork with a robot theme.

Doug Spalding, a Michigan-based artist, works with clay to create amazing, colorful, ceramic art. He predominantly crafts pop art tiles that are fun and entertaining (everything from yetis to corn dogs). Many of his pieces frequently get an audible giggle out of me when I see the playful images he conjures up.

One of his reoccurring themes are robots and, if you can't imagine a robot being striking, then you haven’t experienced one of Doug’s vibrant ceramics. He also makes quite a few tiles that focus on architecture and music (my sister's obsession)—each tile a unique story in itself. His art is always approachable, sometimes silly, and never takes itself too seriously. His tiles make terrific, surprising gifts for adults and kids alike. And even if your love for robots isn’t as fervent as mine, it's guaranteed that Doug has something for you, too. Details: www.spaldingstudio.com

Style: Immortalize and Personalize with Barbara Pollak

Barbara Pollak has gained recognition for her illustrations. Not until more recently, however, has she expanded her talents to include project commissions. Who knew? I found out by reading an old edition of ReadyMade. Thumbing through the advertising pages, I caught a glimpse of a 2” x 3.5” ad that included the ever-familiar Pollack-signature work: “Working with your ideas, Barbara will create an original portrait of your family or friends in a unique setting of your choosing.” After reading that, how could I resist?!

I worked directly with Barbara for four weeks. Although, at the time, I was situated in the 3rd Coast and she, on the Pacific Coast, we were able to easily work together to create a satisfying project for us both. After sending her a few family pictures and capturing our shared-hobbies in a simple e-mail, I was forwarded my first proof within the first week. I received the final product in time to frame, wrap, and place it under the tree with days to spare. (Later, she even made our very-cool Mod City Mom logo. We love Barbara!)

If you happen to be gifted with a bonus check or an extra large tip and want to document a special person or event in an over-the-top personalized way, e-mail Barbara. Your original Pollak will be sure to accurately showcase your mug, turn heads, and, ultimately, improve your walls. Details: www.freckleshop.com.

Style: Shedding Light on the Catalog Gloom

My home had slowly turned into a standard catalog photo-shoot. I guess I can think of worse things, but it’s so incredibly cookie-cutter, sterile, and, let’s face it, completely lacking of any sort of individuality. Somewhere along the way, I forgot to surround myself with things I truly loved and managed to replace them with item number 264312, page 16.

During the once-a-year event of washing my pendant globes, order 485021, I realized enough-was-enough. First of all, I hate washing globes and, second of all, they were incredibly standard, catalog stock. After an evening of self-flagellation coupled with an online surfing session, I stumbled upon the answer: Meteor Lights—a product that promised to illuminate my home and my soul!

Located in San Francisco, Meteor Lights’ designers have created fiberglass lampshades and pendants that they recommend as replacement shades for mid-century modern design. I say, however, that a Meteor Light shade is so fun and playful, they can be used any where and at any time.

The entertaining site allows you to select your shade style, color, and pattern options. Using the Shade Selector, play around with the different shapes and combinations or test out the 25 different colors and half a dozen patterns that you can choose from. Whether you purchase a Meteor Light to hang over your kitchen table or as a replacement for your child’s outgrown infant-style lampshade, you can proudly glance around your home and remember that your possessions should be a reflection of you and not your bulk catalog.

Style: Niche Apparel with Broad Appeal

Although my sister and I are full-blooded relatives, we couldn’t be more different in size and shape. I’m a big-boned 5’9” and she is a small-framed 5’4”. Needless to say, we have never been good clothing partners—not because we don’t share similar tastes, we simply don’t fit into the same styles.

…until we discovered Neesh by DAR.

Neesh by DAR has been around for about 10 years; “DAR” is the designer and manufacturer, Denise Allen Robinson. Denise has created beautiful, individual pieces that can be mixed and matched with almost anything—elegant enough for a night on the town or relaxed enough for a PTA meeting. As she describes her clothing, “every item features couture construction in a youthful, vintage yet modern look designed for a woman of any age.” Her skirt designs are particularly special—each one consists of unique patterns, colors, and fabrics. And, more importantly, they complement almost any shape and size.

Although Denise doesn’t offer online purchases (yet), you can find a boutique that sells her designs in almost each of the 50 states. In addition, Denise is affiliated with half a dozen retailers that sell her clothing online. Although my sister and I still don’t wear the same size, we can now easily sport the same skirt when it’s from the broad-niche, Neesh by DAR collection. Details: www.neeshbydar.com.
