The Paris City Journal ($16.95) is a beautiful traveling journal to write about your traveling experiences. It includes a map in the back to help you navigate the public transportation system the "city of love and lights" with ease. The large journals are equipped with an interior pocket for loose papers (i.e.: metro cards, notes and receipts) and an elastic fastener to protect sheets on your travels. This is a great journal to have even if you don't travel and/or not the type to write in a diary. Personally, I opted for this item just for looks since it was too beautiful to pass up!


Banksy is a famously unknown British graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine irreverent dark humor with graffiti done in a distinctive stenciling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.

The Banksy Note Card Set features 5 eccentric designs, which makes it a cool and fun set to have. 20 envelopes and 20 note cards are included in this set. A must have for any Banksy fan!

Stars and Cars of the '50s by Edward Quinn | $39.95

A reprieve from post-war austerity, the 1950s epitomized a time of glamour with its film icons and automobiles, which are admired and emulated to this day. Nothing said, "You've made it," quite like getting glammed up and going for a spin in your brand new automobile. The shapes and shades of cars were bright and exaggerated. Car design showed a fervent embrace of the future and a willingness to experiment with something new. Featuring icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Gina Lollobrigida, Pablo Picasso, and Brigitte Bardot — and their splendid automobiles

Unseen by Elliott Erwitt | $65

For those already familiar with the scope and ingenuity of this photographic craftsman, this is an essential addition to your Erwitt collection. If not, you can look forward to discovering his eclecticism and expertise. Probing the limits of black-and-white photography, Erwitt's lens captures subtleties ranging from the duskiest grays to the most luminous whites. This intriguing collection of previously unpublished photographs highlights the drama in everyday moments. Its subjects range from anonymous faces in the crowd to candid glimpses of icons like John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, and Truman Capote.
