color WHITE NOW

color WHITE NOW

White might be the most modern of colors – beautiful, simple and sometimes wholly impractical. Today’s inspiration came from the Etsy – and the white ceramic hanging pod vases that found their way into my inbox.

fashion THEO COURTNAY NEW YORK

I just love this top…and yes, despite looking somewhat fantastic on the model here, mere mortals shouldn’t wear it as a dress.

The designer herself warns against going head to toe pattern. That being said, it is refreshing to see work that is individual without being [...]

color HELLO YELLOW

The sky is grey – rain, rain go away – but spotted here and there in the garden are daffodils. And, this seems as good a time as any to feature some spring like yellow products from some fabulous independent designers. All of these products are super sunny looking, but my favorite has got to [...]

fashion week : academy of art university

It is fashion week, as Tim Gunn put it on the Daily Show “the Superbowl of fashion”.
