it's always satisfying when a music video really seems at one with the song it was made for, which explains why i'm so into "true loves" by hooray for earth. it's a perfect combo. enjoy!
sibling is a london-based knitwear company comprised of the very talented joe bates, sid bryan and cozette mccreary (my new favorite name by the way). it's always exciting to see people taking a traditional craft like knitting and still finding ways to make it fresh and new, especially with a nod to old school british style in the process. and i mean, there is a panda kiss sweater with sequins - these people can do no wrong as far as i'm concerned. while the line is designed for men, i'd happily sport one of these sweaters with a skirt and combat boots any day! learn more about sibling here.
the renegade craft fair is always chock full of amazing talent, and in the few moments i'm able to escape from my booth i can't help but notice the lovely jewelry selection at the fair. some of my favorites were the vintage modern pieces from noble town vintage (i picked up the rhombus necklace), the intricate lasercut earrings from mollymdesigns, and the acrylic and brass necklaces from ermadid (i got a white acrylic fishbone version). nice work ladies!
now that the sfrenegade craft fairhas come and gone (and was awesome, despite the chilly weather), i can finally catch up on some much needed posting - including some of my new prints that are now up in my etsy shop. there will be more on the way soon, including a 2012 calendar, more prints and friendship badges, and some exciting new accessories! stay posted!
feeling inspired by pattie boyd - british model, 60s icon, wife of a beatle - her bouncy blonde locks and good-girl looks still seem just as fresh today as they did half a century ago.
i'm currently experiencing some book lust over these new editions of kafka designed by pantheon art director peter mendelsund. it's always refreshing to see my old favorites updated (a la coralie bickford-smith), and i love what the bright color and simple graphics bring to these covers. the uniting symbol of the eye is perfect for kafka, who was so interested in introspection, and the color is a nod to the humor and absurdity found in much of his work. in addition, the font is based off of kafka's own handwriting - a lovely counterpart to the bold graphics. stack them up in rainbow order and i'm happy. get yours here.
