The Mandate Press – Letterpress Cards

I HEART MEDIA Letterpress CardsAs you may know our little website & company are growing quite quickly, and it came time to have some business cards made, but we didn’t just want any cards, we wanted cards that were simple, luxurious and elegant.

After seeing some examples of their work we contacted The Mandate Press, a custom letterpress shop located in Salt Lake City, they were wonderful to deal with and as you can see by the photos, our cards turned out beautifully. The look and feel of letterpress is unlike anything you are used to, and is more affordable then you might think. We can’t recommend The Mandate Press enough!

dace – Wilkinson Short

dace - Wilkinson ShortWe’re almost embarrassed to say but it’s been over a year since we have featured shorts on IHL, and we really have no excuse. In light of our serious oversight, we went on a mission to find some hot shorts for this summer, and we think we found the perfect pair. If we had the legs for it, we’d definitely be rocking these chambray blue dace Wilkinson Shorts ($144 USD). We love the fact that they are only semi-high waisted, have a perfectly sized bottom cuff, front welt pockets and detailed with horse buttons.

Lily Pond Sushi Set

Lily Pond Sushi SetThere are few things we like as much as shopping but sushi is one of those things we just can’t get enough of – so it’s natural that we heart this Lily Pond Sushi Set ($94 USD) designed by Stefano Giovannoni and Rumiko Takeda and made with care by Alessi. The Lily Pond Sushi set is composed of a plate & chopsticks in melamine, a small plate for soy sauce and chopsticks holder in fine bone china.

Loxii Wall Graphics

Loxii Wall GraphicsA few weeks ago in our newsletter, we featured some beautiful wall graphics designed by Samantha Hahn, available through Loxii a brand new community based wall graphics design company, and just the other day we received our very own set of graphics that came with everything we needed to install them, including a step-by-step instruction sheet, and squeegee tool; the quality was excellent and the design was exactly as expected – gorgeous. Design your own, or buy from one of Loxii’s featured designers. You won’t be disappointed!
