Target is the master of fab collabs and Liberty of London just may be their best yet.

If you’re into finding your prints charming, you’ll love seeing Liberty of London’s famous prints on everything from bedding to storage boxes, dresses to wellies and bikes.

While the fashion items are cute, we’re really loving the housewares.

After we shop, we’ll be ready to throw  a spring tea party in our garden (ooops, need to add garden to the shopping list).

Where to find Liberty of London and style for all?

Confession: We had no idea J. Peterman was a real company. We simply thought Elaine wrote wacky copy for the Jackie (or is it Joan?) Collins of catalogs on Seinfeld, a figment of Larry David’s brilliant imagination. But serendipitously, while watching Seinfeld re-runs and reading Amy Merrick’s Living In column, we discovered J. Peterman was the real deal.

See, you do learn things while watching television. And even more reading Wikipedia (could all of this be true?).

While most things cost way more than we’re willing to part with ($500 for three picnic baskets posing as nesting hampers – um, great idea though to find them at yard sales and use them for cute storage!), there’s a great Last Chance Department where you can snag some unique finds on sale for really good prices — up to 78% off new arrivals. The vibe? Think Hemingway meets Anthropologie.

For instance? This gorgeous, romantic 1930’s vintage black dress that was originally $198 and is now $72. To steal a fruity phrase from Rachel Zoe, bananas.  Ditto the classic square neck black dress, which will let your Audrey Hepburn fantasies come true, originally $169, now $52.

And if you’re interested in hopping on Karl Lagerfeld’s clog bandwagon (which we’re considering more and more each day), these tartan plaid clogs are, to borrow a phrase from Guiliana, amazeballs.

At the very least, it’s worth clicking on over to read the hysterical copy (love it).

Often times, the best things come in small packages. And no, we don’t mean diamond earrings (oh wait, that’s good too).

To send the sweetest sentiment in a small but highly impactful way, get thee to the World’s Smallest Postal Service.

Simply fill out and submit your custom letter or card, which will then be transcribed onto tiny stationery (1 x 1.5 inches!). The tiny envelope will even have a mini wax seal with your initial on it and the letter comes with a magnifying glass so your recipient can read your miniment (that’s miniature + sentiment for you math majors).

Or, opt for a Valentine’s Day Cute as a Button package, which comes with a strip of paper reading “You are as cute as…” and then underneath the teeny crumpled paper, a vintage button.

Hostesses with the mostestess, brides and moms-to-be, World’s Smallest wedding, party invitations and birth announcements are also available.

We love giving (and receiving) art for Valentine’s Day and anniversary gifts and wedding gifts (well, and any occasion really), so when we spotted these incredibly sweet heart-themed pieces by UK-based Sarah & Bendrix, we nearly melted.

Choose from feathery white or bolder red pieces – or even bookish and blue options. Either way, the little reminder that love is all you need will be a pick-me-up every time you see it.

What does love make you think of? For me, Breakfast at Tiffany’s always pops to mind. I love Audrey Hepburn, I love the film and I double love that my Valentine and I fell in love with this film while watching it in our very early days of courtship. Inspired by that, and by this fantastic Living In column by Amy Merrick on Design*Sponge, I thought I’d put together a mini Breakfast at Tiffany’s roundup.

[ clockwise from top, l-r: Holly Golightly Dress - the perfect LBD custom-made for you; Holly Golightly Sleep Mask -- the chicest way to shut out the world; Holly Golightly Blue Tassel Earplugs -- to keep the noise out, daaahling; Bath Tub Couch -- because dreams can come true, in 4-6 weeks ]

Thinking of something someone loves, whether a movie, book, country or hobby is always a great hopping off point for gift giving. What Breakfast at Tiffany’s fan wouldn’t love items inspired by the movie?

[ Vintage Olivetti Valentine Typewriter -- because, like Fred, er...Paul, you too are a writer and would be inspired by a gorgeous vintage typewriter; Multi-Strand Bow Necklace -- a modern update on the classic multi-strand pearls; Audrey Hepburn Collection (Breakfast at Tiffany's / Roman Holiday / Sabrina) -- the movie, of course, plus a few more romantic classics for your viewing pleasure; Tiffany Earrings -- for obvious reasons; Breakfast at Tiffany's (Essential Penguin) -- the book that started it all; Washburn Banjo, 5 String -- for when you're inspired to strum Moon River; Pink Studio Gypsy Ballet Flats -- because Holly and Audrey made ballet flats chic; Breakfast at Tiffany's Paintings -- the sweetest art to commemorate your BaT love ]

Not only is a themed gift like this great to get, but it’s so much fun to give. For a wedding gift, we once had a blast finding Roman delights for friends who were spending their honeymoon in Rome (think Roman Holiday, books on Rome, Italian wine,  all wrapped in paper with a vintage world map and topped off with a card with a Vespa on the front).

Every couple seems to have a song. If you and your guy have a movie, get inspired by all of the great Living In posts here. Or maybe you share a love of Paris? Or of camping. Maybe he adores a certain book. Hunt down a first edition. Give a writer a fabulous pen and journal, or a coveted vintage typewriter. Maybe photography’s his passion? A vintage or silly, fun camera would be cute. Just showing the one you love (or kinda like a lot) that you know them, will melt his/her heart.

What’s your movie?

We first discovered British designer Donna Wilson via the fabulous San Francisco boutique, Eden and Eden, which carries quirky objects of design by independent designers from the U.K. and beyond. It was there we first fell for the Blah Blah Blah pillow, which reminds us so much of Seinfeld (yadda, yadda, yadda).

So we were thrilled to see the same print available in blanket form, straight from the designer herself.

Why a Blah Blah Blah blanket? For those times your Snuggie just won’t do. And people just won’t leave you alone. Honestly. And you just need to curl up on the couch with a box of chocolates and the remote (or, you know, a good book).

Plus, it’s a way more elegant (and lazier) way of saying Talk to the hand.

We think it makes an excellent Valentine’s Day gift too (yup, a new holiday is already around the corner, blah, blah, blah).

Where to nab yours in pale pink, blue and ebony, or white and ebony (or a cute mini blanket in blue or white and ebony)?

For those who are so over the Keep Calm and Carry On poster phenomenon and are ready for an easier-to-achieve mantra, may we present the best parody we’ve seen yet, especially for the always-hectic holiday season. From the happiness-creating, paper-loving duo behind Earmark, Freak Out and Throw Stuff might just be the most brilliant interpretation we’ve seen. We’re tempted to buy these prints for all of the beloved tots we know, as well as for each adult on our holiday list. Can you say perfect coworker gift? And at just $10, your wallet won’t be freaking out. Where to pick up your pick-me-up? Right here.

Have you had the pleasure of meeting Fifi Lapin?
May we introduce you?
She’s THE vintage and designer-loving haress to her father’s fortune, which he made playing fast and loose with carrot and lettuce shares on the international stock market. She absolutely adores fashion and always sports the latest runway looks.
Instead of paying some premium fee to the paparazzi for a photo of the jetsetting Haress Hilton, you can snag a print of her in Chanel, Proenza Schouler, Luella and more. Lots more once Fashion Week starts next month, we’re sure.
In the meantime, follow the London-based Fifi at her blog, where you’ll discover that, like us, she’s also a fan of indie designers Lena Corwin and Abigail Percy. There, you can also befriend her on Facebook and MySpace.
Or, shop for original illustrations and limited edition prints of her at her Etsy store now!

In a world increasingly filled with cynicism, we find ourselves craving anything sunny and happy. And we just happen to be addicted to the Vitamin D we get from that bright ball of fire in the sky. We are in California, after all.
And, for what seems like forever, we’ve been yearning for a print that says ‘Hello Sunshine’ that we could hang in our entryway to greet our guests and ourselves.
So we were pleased as punch to discover this sweet You Are My Sunshine print by Jess Gonacha.
Then, as if things couldn’t get any better, we found these Hello Sunshine notecards by Kate Spade.
Why not spread a little sunshine yourself?
Dare we say it’s the new black?

The next time you have friends over for a Mad Men pizza and cocktail party (which should be every Sunday in our opinion), surprise them with these hysterical Dress for Dinner napkins.
Even if everyone’s in their trusty Sunday uniform (t-shirts and jeans), they’ll look as dapper as Mr. Draper himself once they put their ties…er, napkins on.
An excellent hostess gift or housewarming gift for your best bachelor friend who just moved into his new place, we think these would also be adorable at a little kid’s birthday party.
Where to dress for dinner?
