My Little Black Book
Shon Jeans by Nili Lotan, Canoe Chair by Eric Schmitt, & Atomic Habits by James Clear
For this week’s Little Black Book I am highlighting two tried and true loves and one new treasure. I hope you enjoy.
I absolutely love Nili Lotan’s Shon jeans. They have long been a staple of mine because they effortlessly pull together a look in a jiffy. Ballet flats, a French tucked t-shirt, blouse or sweater with Shon jeans and voila, chic cool girl vibe! The darted knees that create the curved silhouette of the legs which crop at the ankle bone are also perfect for running around town comfortably and with ease.
The Canoe Chair by Éric Schmitt is a super special piece that I wish you all could see in person. The body is constructed of steel that is then lacquered to a glossy shine, accompanied by accents of polished brass, most notably the canoe shaped sculptural armrests. “My work is a combination of the sculptor I almost am, the architect that I have always aspired to be and the designer that I am not exactly.” This is how Éric Schmitt describes himself. However, he is too humble. His work speaks of the brilliant sculptor, architect, and designer he is.
Atomic Habits by James Clear is not a newly released book. As a matter of fact, James Clear’s book has sold millions of copies because of his proven technique on how to achieve goals through consistency of what we do daily. That is to say, this book teaches us how to adjust our behavior in order to build unstoppable habits. I am diving deep into shedding some habits I don’t want anymore and creating new ones I need to install in order to be the version of myself I aspire to be. Atomic Habits is my roadmap.
Hope you enjoyed!
