Back to School in Style!

 I hope everyone's Summer has been as much fun as mine!  Unfortunately, good times and frivolous distraction has led to the neglect of my beloved blog, but I have every intention of making up for it!  After an intense and concentrated binge of buying, I am so excited for the upcoming Fall/Holiday season and all the fabulous, fun things to come to Thérapie!  There is also an exciting, new project in the works at the Columbus Avenue store which will be revealed in the next month...all I will say right now, is that it is what I've always wanted!  Let's just say, it will provide some extra special Thérapie.

Hard to believe that after this long weekend, it's back to school already.  Which means there's not much time left to shop for everything you need to kick-off your new school year with the coolest stuff in the class!  Here are a few of my favourite stationery items and accessories for inside or outside the classroom.

 

 

 

Recycled Floral Workbook Set - Pretty trio of workbooks made of 100% post-consumer recycled paper, acid and chlorine free, biodegradable and all vegetable-based inks and glue.  72 lined pages.  Measures 4' x 6'.

Mimobot New 2GB Designer Flashdrives - Yoda, Wampa, My Melody, Hello Kitty Nerd Kitty, Chocolate X.

Hell and Ideas Kraft Notebooks - 7.25' x 9.5', 152 pages.  The perfect repository for your brilliant and not so brilliant thoughts!

Eiffel Tower Notebook - Possibly my favourite notebook.  100 ruled, high-quality pages.  Stitch-bound fabric cover.  Note pocket with 12-week scheduler, index stickers and retro stickers.  7.5' x 9.5'.

Messenger Bag - This bag has it all with its Velcro® slip pocket, two handy slip-ins under the flap, one zip and one slip inside, as well as a removable laptop sleeve (fits standard sizes). Also includes five pen pockets, three card slots and a padded sleeve.

Co-Lab by Christopher Kon's BayDay Bag - The lightest, most stylish duffle bag one could own!  It combines the fashionable shine of durable nylon fabric with the sporty cool of webbing straps. Exterior contains two zip front pockets and top zip closure. Interior contains one zip pocket and two slot pockets. Bag also features an adjustable and detachable strap.

Foul Weather Friends

This city has seen more rain this year than I can remember, and we are not alone.  Rainboots have often been my best foul-weather friends.  There was a time when rainboots meant fisherman wellies or duck boots and carrying an extra pair of shoes for the switcheroo upon reaching the indoor destination.  Well, not anymore!  Treat your feet to däv, who definitely do not make your standard rainboots.  They have stretch panels for comfort, authentic Poron® foot beds covered in terry for extra cushioning.  Also, they have ultra-plush fleece interiors which makes these boots perfect for the winter snow.  The best part for me though, are the styles and ofcourse, the heels!

Don't forget the kiddies!  With these get-ups, they'll want to be wearing their rain gear indoors, outdoors, rain or shine!

Artist Infusions

The art of PaPaYa! stationery mesmerizes me.  The images are unapologetically bold, creative and wildly pretty featuring the works of well-known artists.  The vibrant detail and beauty really can't be captured on here and must be seen in person.  The journals offer inspirations that make you want to start your own creative journey within their pages. They beckon, "Begin."  "Daydream."  "Love who you are" and "Choose your own adventure."  

The vision of PaPaYa! Art is "Creative Abandon."  This is a credo I can certainly embrace! - To answer only to one's creative impulses without compromise.  This is what I love about being in NYC, where originality is lurking in every corner while all things commercial and homogenous just fade into the background unnoticed.  

Also featured here are Mimobot's new Artist series designer USB flash drives.  Visit www.therapieny.com or the store for more of the "FriendsWithYou" designer series and our Star Wars series!

Back to School

It's that time of year again, the child-lings are going back to school.  Sad for them; fantastic for parents!  I can practically feel the collective excitement brewing in anticipation of freedom as Mommies enthusiastically shop for supplies to best prepare their little darlings for school.  We have everything to ensure they are sent off in style!

Who cares if lunch is edamame, carrot sticks and rice milk when the lunchbag itself looks as cute as these ones from Dabbawalla!  Their backpacks are also perfect for modern kids on-the-go and as irresistible as just saying, "Dabbawalla!"  Just say it, you know you want to. 

These bags are completely constructed out of durable neoprene which protects, insulates and cushions without worry of lead, PVC or other bad-for-you chemicals.  The insulating construction holds temperatures for hours. The best part? Machine washable, stain-resistant and built to last!  

Well-designed features include cushioned handles, reinforced seams for added strength, interior ice-pack pocket for long outings, wide zipper openings, and inside pockets for stashing gear.  The backpack has adjustable straps.
