Two Paperdolls

Gorgeous work at Two Paperdolls. I particularly love how they show lots of elements from the weddings such as calligraphed place cards and designed drink coasters.

Ginette NY

I love the delicate intertwined pendants from jeweler Ginette NY. I keep meaning to visit the boutique downtown but haven’t made it quite yet. For now, I admire the work on ShopBop. These pendants say “Joy” and “You” in 14-carat gold. A co-worker has a personalized monogram of her initials and it is so gorgeous… The personalized pendants are smaller than the ones above but still as delicate. Such a perfect gift.

"Joy" pendant, $720. "You" pendant, $792. Both pendants on a 16" chain in 14-carat gold.

Tim Walker

My boss showed me the Fotographie issue for fashion photographer Tim Walker and I immediately fell in love with his work. Glam, decay, fantasy, impressive lighting… it’s all there. See more of his work here.

The Weddings Issue

Namrita & Roman’s wedding in California mixed the traditions of both of their heritages for a Mexican-Indian celebration that was truly stunning. This installment in Nirali Magazine, we bring you inside four real and stunning South Asian weddings plus, we’ve compiled guides on South Asian beauty and wedding photography and so much more.

We met so many brides with outstanding advice for throwing a big fat desi wedding in North America while putting together this issue that we compiled the best in a handy article. (Be sure to check out even more advice from South Asian brides in the next installment on June 18th as well as three more beautiful weddings, a guide for wedding shopping in South Asia and a guide to buying wedding jewelry!)

I thought many of you might like to see this issue… There are slideshows for many of the articles featuring a lot of wonderful wedding photographers. The amount of vendors featured is quite wide. You can find references for anyone from elephant rentals to wedding documentary filmmakers to mehndi artists to luxury event coordinators. See all ten articles in this installment of Nirali Magazine’s Wedding Issue on NiraliMagazine.com. Enjoy!

We Dream in Colour

These necklaces with gorgeous green patina are from a lovely jeweler named We Dream in Colour. They’re made of brass with hand worked verdigris. That first necklace is especially nice because those pendants hang off the chain in a sort of off-center fashion lending an asymmetrical look. So cute. And affordable.

Lumas

Strolling through ICFF last weekend, I have to confess that not much really impressed me. The display from Lumas, however, stopped me in my tracks. Just what I was looking for: affordable photography produced in limited editions.

Each signed and numbered photograph is a part of a limited edition and the photographers range from new talent on the scene, masters, classics and scientific photography. The gallery also offers some photos in open editions which are more affordable than the limited editions.

The photos can also be bought as is or framed and mounted. Firsthand, those options looked to be very well done. Also, the sizes of the prints offered provide a big impact… sizes range from approximately two feet square and larger.

The prints are absolutely stunning in person. I am loving this concept. Lumas has a brick and mortar gallery in Soho in New York that I’ll be sure to check out.

(I’ll be going over the rest of my ICFF picks later this week.)

Deborah’s Great Space

Caught Domino’s Editor-in-Chief Deborah Needleman’s Tribeca home in this week’s New York Magazine and loved it so much. That living room is to die for and oh, dear the gray on the walls of her dining room is sublime. I love how everything looks so light and airy and yet so comfortable. See it all here. (And check out the rest of the issue… this week is the Home Design issue!)

Anna Wolf

Anna Wolf’s work employs tons of nature shots. Such beautifully lit shots. She does a lot of work for Urban Outfitters, as evidenced by her tear sheets. (via Whitespace)

Abigail Percy

Saw these new earrings from Abigail Percy via Outblush and loved them. These delicate outlined shapes give a great twist on a hoop earring. I popped over to her website and saw she has more new pieces on display there including the above necklace. Visit Abigail’s Etsy shop here.

Sweet Chestnut Outline Earrings, gold vermeil $240 at Rare Device. Anemone on chain necklace, email Abigail for details.

The Cake Girls

Saw these sweetly stunning cakes and wanted to share them. Love these from The Cake Girls. There’s just something nice about a swiss dotted cake. Also, check out their special cakes (iPod birthday cake, anyone?) and baby shower cakes.

Alena Hennessy’s Little Gathering

Got a sweet email from Alena Hennessy regarding her upcoming show this weekend in a tearoom boutique called Bouteaque, New York’s Lower East Side. Her work, called “A Little Gathering” looks absolutely amazing. I am planning on checking it out just to see it all in person. The show will be on display from May 5 to June 30, the reception is from 3-7pm on Saturday. Bouteaque is located at 226 East Third Street, between Avenue B and C.
