i was doing some research online (seriously i was, that’s not a euphemism for gorging on fashion blogs and sites) when i came across this. love it! i think each paillette is the size of my head! ok not really. but close.
i love when something is made completely out of scale, be it very very oversized or teeny tiny.
i’m not a shoe girl. really, i’m not. well, i was. once. i’m a reformed shoe girl? i’ve just gotten too practical over time. and i’ll be the first to admit comfort wins out over style these days. heels are surely a thing of my past.
but these! oh my god! look at these shoes!!! they’re too gorgeous, too over the top, too fabulous. and i love them.
some current faves over at anthropologie. i’m particularly smitten with the stripey one in the lower right.
this past weekend i had the good fortune to meet mollie dash. mollie is a brooklyn based artist who has recently launched a new online shop called everbrite mercantile. such a cool and eclectic collection of goods. see two of my favorites below and check out everything they have to offer here.
if money were no object this would surely be mine. has a more amazing skirt ever been created? i think not. see more here.
my very talented friend cal patch has just recently opened the new double knot studio. along with the equally talented jill draper they will be offering classes in sewing, crocheting, knitting and embroidery. classes will be taking place in the super cute town of rosendale, ny.
can’t make it to rosendale? not a problem! you can also pick up a copy of cal’s new book, design-it-yourself clothes: patternmaking simplified which i have already ordered and am eagerly waiting for.
better late than never?
the renegade craft fair in chicago was held the weekend of sept. 12 & 13. i’ve been meaning to post photos but time is just moving too quickly lately.
what a great show it was! i had participated in renegade in brooklyn but this was my first time in chicago. so much talent, it was both humbling and inspiring. i felt lucky to be in such good company. i was able to walk around a bit on sunday and i so wish i could have spent more time than i did. a few snaps of things that caught my eye below.
these great pillows from k studio. i’ve been a long time fan and it was so nice to meet shelly. she was very warm and talking with her made me like her work even more.
amazing work from uncommon, who were also my booth neighbors. jesse and vincent were great and i loved getting to chat with them throughout the weekend. i wanted pretty much one of everything.
these sweet pillows from blue thimble. i was especially fond of the snail one (big surprise) and thought they’d make a great children’s gift.
earrings from cursive design. all of sarah’s jewelry is amazing.
i had never heard of urban posture before but i loved everything in their booth. it was so crowded i was barely able to take any photos but managed to snap this one of a really cool clock.
gorgeous summer dresses from built by wendy. my fave is the bottom left, it could be worn well into the fall with some tights and a nice chunky scarf.
