While leafing through the July Vogue, I was delighted to see that André Leon Talley wrote about the lovely Rachel Roy. Her work is so gorgeous, lots of great shapes and flowing fabrics. She is slated to open her first flagship downtown on Hudson across from Nobu in the fall. Can’t wait.
Star Halter Dress, Sienna Strapless Dress, Nargis Long Dress, Lace Assymetrical Jacket & Skirt from the Summer 2006 collection. All available for viewing on Rachel Roy's website.
Some really beautiful and inexpensive serveware are available at West Elm. These hammered serving pieces caught my eye. Love the texture and the quality of the reflection the surface gives.

Neha posted on Sepia Mutiny about finding designer Rashmi Varma. So glad she did! Oh lord the clothes are so gorgeous. Modern western clothes utilizing the traditional types of hand embroidery and embellishment found in India. Gorgeous stuff. I’m off to a wedding in Dallas… be back Sunday. Have a lovely week.
Hand embroidered Kantha cotton trench, price upon request.
I have been coveting these limited-edition art prints by my favorite ceramicist, Eva Zeisel (in collaboration with Klein/Reid) ever since I saw them online at Apartment Therapy… A few weekends ago I was delighted to be able to see them in person at the Cooper-Hewitt (across from the entrance of the gift shop) and fell in love with them all over again. After lots of pondering about the purchase I finally went ahead and bought one! (Magic Language #2!) So excited!
"Magic Language #1 and #2, 2005, silkscreen print, edition of 300. Shadowbox, archival frame, 32x24"Â each frame. Purchased as a pair with same editioned number. $1,100."
Lovely & varied work from Elizabeth Hubbell Studio. Gorgeous calligraphy is letterpressed onto cards, sweet illustrations adorn baby announcements. Some really great formats here including a little baby announcement book about a little girl born in the year of the monkey. Too cute.
A birth announcement for Baby Rowan.
