i want my coming weekend to look like this: have a fabulous party – or just hang out by myself – and leave behind beautiful debris to rival these scenes by Laura Letinsky. unfortunately Axel makes a mess all day long and it never looks as cool as this (and the lighting is never…
here are ten THINGS! one of my favourite voyeuristic things at the moment is seeing life through Jamie Beck’s eyes since she moved from NYC to Provence. (do you guys remember her blog way back when it was hosted on Tumblr?). she visits old chateaus and shops at the local market and dresses up in fresh…
if you’ve been following me for a long time you probably know how much i love mid-century houses. i grew up in one (well, sorta, my parents built their home in the early 80s but it has a mid-century feel about it – think floor to ceiling wooden window frames and glass, glass, glass).…
above: jewellery by Corey Moranis Jewels! here it is again, my sort of annual round up of cool new jewels out there… besides all the jewellery i blog about seemingly all year long. edition huit, ‘eight’ in french. huit. sounds like a whistle. and these jewels sure are pretty. *whistles* Corey Moranis such interesting jewellery…
i really love the work by Chinese animator & illustrator Oamul. “Enjoy my life and drawing. I want to share with you what i saw, heard and experienced in daily life and hope all of you can feel and find your own wonderful life! Enjoy yourself!” yep, that makes me happy. he also makes sweet sculptures…
i feel like if Cleopatra had a personal jeweler Joanne Burke would have been her go-to gal. i mean of course i am imagining Liz Taylor as Cleopatra here, but the analogy stands. her pieces are hand sculpted in cast in bronze or gold. see more at her Instagram.
how do you guys keep up with cool things to peruse (or even buy when you are flush) on the internet? i feel like much of my online time is dedicated to instagram / twitter, which aren’t highly shoppable. since i don’t go to the shops much anymore – and i buy mostly nappies…
aaaah to own a piece by Kirsten Sims. that is my dream. Kirsten’s solo shows are an expression of where she is in her life. this year she turns 30, so her new show is called Saturn Return – an ode to the astrological period that occurs in a person’s late 20s as they move into…
Gisele Human’s WAIF is going places. i feel like every time i see her work she has just leveled up. the new collection is outstanding, but the lookbook is equally gorgeous. everything from the photography to the styling and hair and makeup… wow. i feel like i want to hire all the talent to…
i don’t share a lot of weddings these days. i felt like weddings on blogs reached a fever pitch a few years ago (even blogging about our own wedding gave me pause) and like many things in the online world became a show of magnificent venues and expensive dresses and insanely beautiful flower arrangements……
i always love to see designers embracing a truly diverse clientele when it comes to their clothes, but especially the models they choose to represent them. South African designer Margot Molyneux’s AW17 collection features women of all sizes, but also of all ages – it’s so nice to see. if anyone had to ask me,…
do you recognise yourself when you look at these paintings? yes, because this is all of us. Phosphorescence shows a series of paintings that focus on the isolation of the individual in our society. The series reflects situations of absolute intimacy where the subject is totally isolated from all surroundings and is immersed in…
i began following Chloe O’Doherty sometime last year, in the midst of those early all-consuming baby days – when i found myself stalking as many mothers as I could on Instagram. it was a way for me to silently connect with women going through the same thing as i was, trying to figure out life with a…
i remember this trip to Paris fondly because i had just kind of met Anton, and i was thinking about him the entire time i was there (we only started dating the following year). i haven’t been back since, and i am dying to go again. i know some people who are actually from Paris who…
i have such a soft spot for Heinui, i blogged about them for the first time 4 years ago! designer Claire Pignot’s latest collection for SS17 is superb as usual. i’m not sure which is my favourite, possibly this dress because it looks so comfortable. but this fitted one is also gorgeous. i obviously love…
