Designing Your Own Planner Stickers Paper That Every Shop Uses

Everyone knows that London is home to the 2012 Summer Olympics, but for this "accessorator" with zero interest in sports, the city's abundance of design stores makes it home to what I'm dubbing the 2012 Design Olympics. Eclectic, eccentric, trendy, chic, stylish, vintage, and contemporary — this extraordinary collection of stores creates a fantastic shopping mecca for both British and international design.

Squint Limited
Squint Limited, created by Lisa Whatmough, is a unique handcrafted bespoke collection of exuberant furniture and accessories in a variety of silhouettes, colorways, patterns, and concoctions that are absolutely English. The various pieces march to a quirky British beat. Several pieces have already found their way across the Atlantic and into my very urban New York apartment!

Labour and Wait
I adore Japanese fashion icon designer Rei Kawakubo's eclectic Dover Street Market. The individual "shops" devoted to her favorite international designers are spectacular, and the chic outpost of London's hip hardware emporium Labour and Wait is a dream.

Paul Smith
English designer extraordinaire Sir Paul Smith's eponymous stores are designed and furnished in his own signature style. His Mayfair shop, No. 9 Albemarle Street — his only furniture, accessories, and art emporium — is given over to a constantly changing collection of unique and original antiques as fabulous as those that decorate his clothing stores.

Shoreditch High Street's Milk Concept Boutique, a chic addition to the cool East End, is the brainchild of Luca and Nathalie Bomio. This husband-and-wife duo shop the world for fabulous finds, giving them international exposure, such as a stunning collection of work from Fornasetti.

SCP
Manufacturer and retailer Sheridan Coakley's two SCP stores are defined by an accessible, modern, clean, and contemporary design-conscious aesthetic. Donna Wilson's patterns — ships, owls, birds, and more are on everything from toys to rugs to upholstered chairs.

Maison Trois Garcons
Maison Trois Garcons is the love child of the three gentlemen who own Shoreditch's trendsetting and exaggeratedly chic sister restaurant, Les Trois Garcon. Just around the corner, the store's blend of vintage, antique, and contemporary pieces reflects the same delightful, decadent, divine, and international style that decorates the restaurant.

Mint
Established in 1998, Mint is one of London's most sublime design emporia. Owner Lina Kanafani travels the world endlessly, seeking the newest, most exciting contemporary design. Experimenting with the work of internationally recognized designers, as well as young students, Mint adds new pieces continuously, such as this coat stand from Silo Studio.)

Two Columbia Road
Two Columbia Road has supplied extraordinary pieces to some of London's hippest new hotels, including The Boundary and Shoreditch House, but the eclectic gallery - a smart blend of collectible furniture, design, art - is a good source for the casual shopper, too. It's owned by father/son duo, Tommy and Keith Roberts, who source finds from Scandinavia, continental Europe, and North America.

From iconically functionalist Scandinavian design to flamboyant Italian art glass, Vessel gallery in Notting Hill is a mecca for eclectic contemporary glass and ceramics. Sourced globally, as well as locally, the gallery includes everything from stemware and crockery to limited edition collectible objects.

Established & Sons
Established & Sons, a UK-based design and manufacturing company, is in the forefront of international contemporary design. The collection includes work from Barber Osgerby, Roy McMakin, Zaha Hadid, Committee, Maarten Baas, and more. I was especially taken by this spectacular faux-wood piece by Richard Woods and Sebastian Wrong. Very "accessoratorish," indeed!
