Ready to love again…

It’s been awhile since i’ve had this feeling...the flutter…the utter excitement of new love.

The Puki dot booties and Muton fur-trimmed boots both from, Chie Mihara, are my new favorites. I’ve been patiently waiting since placing the Fall ’12 order in February for these to arrive!!! They are here and they are FABULOUS!!

I actually went to Hoboken Glass yesterday just to have another glass shelf made for my curio at home where i keep my special pairs…pics soon to come!

I’M SO EAGER TO SHOW YOU THESE AND ALL THE NEW FALL STYLES FROM CHIE MIHARA!!

captain fabulous!

Our favorite Hoboken fire captain (Peggy Diaz) stopped in today dressed in Peper & Parlor from head-to-toe. So we decided to dedicate this blog post to her fabulous fashion sense!

You make us proud Pegster!

picnic: à la peper and parlor

We are sooooo HOT! And we’re sure you are too!

We wish we could pitch a tent on the breezy waterfront  (or at least spread a blanket there) and cool down with some yummy goodies and a cute outfit! Here is our wish list for a hot summer day!

Enjoy!

paper flower project

we are a bit obsessed with flowers (and not only because the mini flower motif is in again).

we just love the life that flowers breathe into any room. so we are considering starting a paper flower project for the shop.

we want to make and hang colorful paper poms from our recessed ceiling shelves.

who wants to help?! we start in a about a week!

Coclico, shush your mouth!

Tamara JUST sent me this picture as i work from home…. Fresh out of the box are these 4 styles for spring from one of our favorite shoe designers: Coclico!

terrarium obsession

OKAY… so Yomaira has been yammering on-and-on about terrariums since last summer (her husband says its been going on for 3-years now) and we finally are dedicating a blog entry to her love of the little-green-eco-systems-in-a-jar!

These little beauties can be displayed in vintage glass jars, carafes, or any other worthy container. They add a little earthiness to any modern/vintage home! Yomaira has gone from buying gorgeous terrariums from Twig Terrariums NYC  to making her own right at home. With a little help from Beethoven’s Veranda (moss and gravel), Hoboken Hothouse (succulent plants), and Succulents Galore (baby succulent cuttings), many a terrerium has been made by Yomaira & Tacuma – (they even made an appearance at her surprise wedding where four lucky guests went home with a little-green-world of their own)!

These bad-boys are super easy to care for…just a little spritz of water every week or so, and some indirect sunlight! Great for those with/out a green-thumb and super cute for the kiddos!

Interested in making your own? Check this out or ask one of the girls at Peper & Parlor!
