Well, my first piece of International press finally hit newsstands here in the States last week. British Vogue published a stunning series of Mario Testino photos, featuring the gorgeous Russian model, Natalia Vodianova. I was thrilled beyond belief to see the Winifred Grace earrings on page 127. This one will be going in a frame! To buy these earrings please visit my website here!
There is a fabulous new exhibit going on at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute from May 6 – August 9, 2009. The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion is the name of the game, and photos I have seen look spectacular. Is it me or does this photo from the exhibit bare a resemblance to the Lutz & Patmos homepage image? Great minds think alike.
Picked up the recent issue of Elle Decor UK and was inspired by their feature on blue and white. The Sanna Annukka blue and white tray for Marimekko (twentytwentyone.com), The Great Wave print by Katsushika Hokusai (vandaprints.com), and the blue and white bone inlaid side table (grahamandgreen.co.uk)are fabulous examples of non traditional blue & white combinations.
Will someone please buy me these most perfect Old Gringo cowboy boots from The Perfect Pair? Last week I was in Nashville doing a trunk show at the store (thanks to everyone who came out and bought jewels!) and tried these on the day they came in. Look closely at the electric blue stitching which stole my heart.
Oh Ruthie. Why do you have to go and make these rooms of yours so perfectly perfect. Damn you! Image from InStyle Home Spring 2007. Where do you find a couch like that anyway?

Is that a disco ball I see? Oh, I wish that my "second home" could look like this! As if I had a second home. Living Etc., May 2007
I'm normally not one to get jazzed about swim suit season. Hips and buttocks which have been hiding safely inside jeans and tights shudder at the thought. This Orla Kiely suit could have me (and them) singing another tune.
Oh. Hello. What are YOU doing here? I'm not sure what I'm doing here as the lengthy hiatus I've taken is inexplicable. Maybe it was the winter which was dragging on which dragged me down - but today it is a gorgeous Spring day here in Chicago. Everything's coming up, um, daisies? Beautiful Alexander McQueen enamel clutch and leather bag from Reiss. To. Die. For.
White on white. Ruffles upon ruffles. Color on color. These outfits are definitely fantastical and not something everyday, BUT I can't help but fantasize about the event to which I could wear one of these stunning creations. Tao Kurihara's got unbridled, over-the-top talent.
Barbara Munsel is a young, talented designer from The Netherlands. She makes fabric, clothing and jewelry. It's almost as if a five year old with mad technical skills was unleashed in a design studio -- and I mean that in the BEST way. I really love the uninhibited creativity and whimsy!
