Love Made Visible

Loved everything at Kara Janx… her clothes are consistently so comfortable-looking. The convertible skirt shown on the left up there is utter genius… it’s one size fits all and can be worn as a high waisted skirt (as shown) as a super short dress or a regular-waisted knee-length skirt. Three of this season’s trends in one piece! The silk dress on the right is gorgeous and comes in great color ways and different lengths. Simple and lovely stuff.

Caught Samantha Bremer‘s photos on I Heart Couture and fell in love with these circus shots. I love delicate yet saturated color like this. Gorgeous, just gorgeous.

Apologies for lack of posting lately. Work’s picking up again and so is Nirali Magazine… You can catch me there at times on The Daily.

I got a lovely email from Franziska Henning regarding her line of hand-knotted rugs called Reuber-Henning. The rugs are made in Nepal and are designed by Franziska, a trained painter who employs a very illustrative style to the designs which are inspired in part by 19th-century German cutouts and Japanese woodblock prints. I especially loved the Story line of rugs featuring silhouettes of children playing. The Scenery line is so delicately illustrated. Very gorgeous and graphic work here.

Okay guys. Seriously I have found my new favorite gift web site. Violet offers gifts for very specific types of people you know. And not just any gifts. Distinctive gifts, people. The website design is so easy to navigate, not to mention designed exquisitely. Gifts are photographed gorgeously and the selection is so amazing. I can’t stop looking through this. I hope you all love it. (Thanks Bonnie, for introducing me to your wonderful business!)

Loved these pieces from Alex Woo. The assortment of jewelry offered is amazing… from typographic pendants to iconic shapes. I especially love the filgree delicacy of these pieces and how the cord is incorporated on the second piece shown above.

Swooooon. Ted Muehling. Ohhhhh Ted Muehling. I saw his gorgeous tabletop designs in last year’s Feeding Desire exhibit at the Cooper-Hewitt (and in the museum’s shop) and then came across these photos for them on E.R. Butler. Everything he does is so graceful and is inspired by the graceful forms of rocks, shells, eggs and insects. Absolutely stunning. For those of you in New York, his store is downtown on Howard Street.
