Pinup Style: Editors' Inspiration Boards

Lindsey Adelman was one of our 2013 American Made honorees in the design category. When she started making them, her lamps felt very unique; organic, yet modern at the same time. They’re beautifully designed.

The seascape postcard is a painting by my good friend Ran Ortner. The actual painting is awe-inspiring for its sheer size and mastery. Ran won the ArtPrize in 2009 and continues to create masterful paintings. His energy is unbelievable. 

The ceramics are from a recent show at The Future Perfect in New York’s Nolita neighborhood. These ceramic bowls by Japanese artist Ryoto Aoki have beautiful forms and gorgeous unusual glazes.

This image is from our Thanksgiving issue. Even though we shot it in the summer, Marcus Nilsson's light really captures the fall vibe.

I love going to museums first thing in the morning during the week. It's a great way to start the day. I just saw the Balthus show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and was so inspired by his color, tone, and composition. I can’t wait to see the Vermeer show at The Frick this season.

Creel and Gow is a wonderful place on the Upper East Side. They specialize in anything and everything from the natural world. It’s one of my favorite places in the city.

The necklace is a recent purchase from New York jewelry designer named Iwona Ludyga. I love her spring line, which is inspired by Native American designs. She edited the colors down to just black, white, and red with a bit of gold. The line is really exquisite.

I actually brought the Ciate Denim Manicure kit home to do with my daughter. What I love about this is it's not necessarily about drawing pictures on your nails -- it’s about great textures and great colors and being able to re-create an effect with little energy on my part.

I love this eyeliner -- I even wrote a blog post about it. I tried this shade one day, and literally by 10 o’clock that morning three random strangers stopped me on the street to tell me they loved my eyeliner. I can genuinely say that has never happened to me before in my life.

The Josie Maran Argan Infinity Cream is basically a cream version of her amazing Moroccan argan oil. Aside from the fact that I love Josie Maran's products, everyone in this office whom I've given them to has fallen in love with them. 

I discovered Apivita when I went to Greece this summer for the first time; it was one of the amenities in my hotel room. I knew the line, but there’s something about the scent -- fig and aloe -- that I just love. It’s so pretty but delicate.

What I love about it, aside from the incredibly chic packaging, is that it’s simple. These are universal shades.

I never tire of baking pies, which is why I always keep this tiny tool on hand during the fall apple season -- it makes prep work a cinch.

Capers make almost everything better. They're an instant flavor creator, adding salty, briny depth to any dish.

Nothing says comfort food like a warm and hearty stew. These heavy-bottomed Martha Stewart Collection at Macy's enameled cast-iron pots can simmer for hours without burning, making them perfect for slow-cooking soups and braises.

I always keep a few cans of chickpeas in my pantry since they're incredibly versatile and packed with protein. This season, I love using them in the sweet and tangy chickpea and cauliflower salad recipe from Everyday Food's October issue.

Heavy-bottomed skillets and sturdy braisers are the real workhorses in my kitchen. I use them for everything from quick sautes to slow braises.
