“oh, these are SO good. so good. sooooo gooooooood” – that’s what i said to myself, out loud, when i discovered the work of Renée Gouin. these minimal monotypes are totally up my alley. what is a monotype, you ask? as Renée explains, “these images are created through the application…
i don’t really know much about the Etsy shop Love Cute Thing besides that it is based in China and the owner Julian Funi hand makes all these lovely clothes. her pieces get exceptionally good reviews (i always check these because often clothing shops in China do not deal in…
i remember my first live drawing class in university, up to that point i had been drawing all my life and didn’t think there was anything i couldn’t draw. but we had to look at the figure and draw without lifting our pencil from the paper – in one line.…
i was browsing around on some auction sites yesterday when i came across this dressing table by french artist Gérard Rigot. oh MAN what i would give to own that piece! Monsieur Rigot was born in the suburbs of Paris in 1929, and began sculpting furniture after moving to the country…
Carmen D’Apollonio is a multi-talented Swiss potter who moved to LA in 2014 to pursue her work in ceramics. she also co-founded Swiss fashion brand Ikou Tschuss. her sculptural lights are totally my bag – something i would want in my house, if i didn’t have a toddler who would undoubtedly…
you know how sometimes you take a photo on your phone and you edit it a bit, probably with VSCO, and then post it to Instagram and you’re like, “huh, that’s not too bad! i should give this photography thing a shot!” then you see a REAL photographer’s work and…
Edouard Boubat – Cafe De Flore, Paris, 1953 hey friends! what’s happening? the most interesting thing i’ve done lately – which actually isn’t that interesting at all, but maybe you wanted to hear about it, is that i completed a Whole30. well, Anton and i both did. we are BIG…
look through this collection by New Zealand label Mahsa and tell me you don’t want to wear a blouse RIGHT NOW. designer Mahsa Willis previously worked as a film producer for 20 years before turning her sights to making classic, romantic pieces… Yesterday Modern 2 is a collection of light…
Bijou Karman is an artist & illustrator from LA. i love her paintings, which are mainly done with gouache. fun fact: she’s illustrated for Rihanna’s fashion line… so she’s very cool, as you can imagine. she currently has an exhibition of her work on in Portland, so if you’re lucky…
i’ve always loved movie posters and i feel like i could easily have a room filled with them. maybe in my office? this is a good idea. these movie posters from Posteritati are all super cool. some are rare (and expensive!). they’re in NYC and they even have a showroom…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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.…
