Radically different, yet both awesome!

Instead of making these very different shoots as a case of Color vs. Goth, I'm loving how both are completely different yet AMAZING. Joan Smalls on the cover of Vogue Italia is so very Palm Springs meets 90s R&B (which could be awful. But no, it's bananas!) And the corpse Victorian vibe of Dominic Jones' look book is so perfectly dead-girl cool. (Shout out to Downton Abbey, m*thaf*ckas!)

West Elm Goes to Morocco

Morocco has long been on my list of must get to places for shopping and discovering new treasures. Looks like I don't have to go just yet since West Elm went there for us all! Check out some of my favorites...

Vintage Moroccan Metal Trays

Dries Van Noten...wall art??

I found this images on my desktop the other day from Dries Van Noten's spring 11 collection.  How cool would it looked framed on a wall???

Calendar Girls

Carine Roitfeld is one of my favorite stylists and this calendar of modern “pinup girls” included in the current Vman issue, is just another example of why I love her work.…

Geronimo!

Founded by balloon lover Jihan “Jihanimo” Zencirli, Geronimo!

began as a way to celebrate friends’ and families’ lives in her hometown of Seattle in 2010. Each balloon is unique, hand-made and one of a kind. They run between $60-$200 per balloon. What a way to decorate a party or surprise a friend on his/her birthday!

art or fabric?

BOTH!

Stylish Friend

One of my best friends and co-worker, Anahita featured on the The Sartorialist.

She was stopped so many times by street photographers in this outfit because of the all white and amazing collar necklace.

How cute is she?..

Futuristic Fashion Week

Who needs mascara when you can draw it on (in teal with hints of gold, of course)? Loving the sci-fi-inspired eye makeup, slick coiled hair and super cool masks at Three as Four.

All about the Details - NYFW

So it's begun. New York Fashion Week. This year I thought I was happily watching from afar, but my mans Ian Reid snapped these totally, completely inspiring pics at Gretchen Jones and now I'm feeling that Fashion Week pull....Take a look: The nails are out of this world. As in, way up there on my "awesome nails" list--and I've seen a lot of nails. 

While the clothes are a beautifully neutral combination of patterns and textures, I can't help but be drawn to the Southwestern-style, native-inspired jewelry, the turquoise stone-inspired nails (obvi!) and the wispy, twisted updo. Oh, and the super-cool labyrinth-like set (very Ursula K. Le Guin fantasy novel).  

JM Dry Goods

Found via one of my most favorite brands and blogs, Chance, JM Dry Goods is a killer new store that opened this past November in Austin (it has a sister store in Marfa too). Full of finds from south of the border, the store features fun, colorful things like Oaxacan Embroidered Blouses and Tunics, Campfire Soaps, and handmade Doefabco Bison wallets. This is a must stop on my next trip home!

DIY Chevron

Love this DIY chevron wall I found over at Sabbe.

This rug over at 2modern is pretty cool too!

Oooh or shoes!!
