Sweetest Things 2007: Sight Funseen

Vote for Your Favorite Sight Nominee

If we threw a year’s worth of ideas at you and asked you to pick your favorites, you’d undoubtedly experience sensory overload. So to make it easy, we’ve broken it down into categories (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) that correspond to the five senses.

Today, pick your favorite sight. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Vote for the most innovative, inspiring, and promising designer or boutique.

And the nominees are…

		Allyson Holleb Bess & Loie Allyson Holleb has it in the bag. Specifically, in the bags she sells at her shop, Bess & Loie. She’ll woo you with styles from Kale, Bocue, and Linea Pelle.

		Jessa Brinkmeyer Pivot If superwoman exists, she’s 24-year-old blond environmentalist Jessa Brinkmeyer, who owns Pivot, an ecoboutique offering stylish clothes made from soy, hemp, and bamboo that don’t sacrifice style.

		Kelly Maron Paper Stories Be a straight shooter with Kelly Maron’s Bittersweet greetings. The Paper Stories card collection includes zingers like “Thanks for nothing” and “Suck it,” all sealed with a pretty letterpressed stamp.
