The blog world is abuzz with discussion of Kate Spade's newest book, a collection of "inspirations, intriguing bits, and other curiosities" inspired by the much-loved section of the brand's retail website, "The Things We Love". While The Things We Love is not yet available for sale to the public, I decided to create my own edition, The Things I Love, for today's post. Enjoy!

Here's a consolidated list with links:
1.) Ballet Slippers
2.) Keith Haring
3.) Capri Blue Candles
4.) Hidden Messages
5.) Bows
6.) Aphrodite's Pink Nightie Nail Polish
7.) S'mores
8.) Starbucks Holiday Drinks
9.) Fifi Lapin

Inspired by: Keith Haring

The Pop Art works of Keith Haring continue to inspire fashion designers twenty years after his AIDS-related death. His vibrant colors, thick outlined forms, and radiating lines are instantly recognizable, as are his images inspiring social activism. I selected some of my favorites to feature here on the blog, but I highly recommend checking out the online pop shop for more Keith Haring products and information about the Keith Haring Foundation.

1.) The Keith Haring V-Neck Lovers Tee ($28)- Wouldn't this simply t-shirt look chic tucked into a pencil skirt?
2.) Keith Haring by Nicholas Kirkwood Collection- Nicholas Kirkwood plans to release a limited edition line of twelve shoes featuring Haring's artwork in February of 2011. These black and red pumps caught my eye with their subtle detailing--many of the other shoes are so over the top!
3.) Black Icon Clutch ($96)-Patricia Field collaborated with the artist to produce a limited number of plastic magazine clutches decorated with Haring's signature work. I love the combination of black and white with accents of purple.
