Love Made Visible

Floaty lacy clothes at Miguelina for Fall/Winter 2006. Some of their look book is online. I love the use of lace and all the pleating. Perfect holiday dresses. While I couldn’t find info on where to buy the first piece above online, I was able to find the second on (interestingly enough) Amazon along with a few other pieces from Miguelina’s Summer 2006 collection. I found a few more retailers who carry some of their halters and dresses for those of us not on the West Coast.

Adored these new letterpressed notebooks from Dauphine Press‘ new(ish) online shop. The press is now carrying a wide variety of notecards, notebooks, gorgeous letterpressed favor boxes and custom stationery in addition to their wedding invitation business. Absolutely lovely stuff.

I’ve been using these votives, given to me as a gift from one of my best friends, on the dinner table for a quite a few dinner parties lately and totally love them. Just realized I never posted them, thought some of you might like them too. They look amazing on my dark wood furniture, the contrast plus the glow of candle light makes for a stunning effect.

Janick of Nea contacted me to tell me about her jewelry. After looking through her site chock full of long beaded chains, I came across the feathery earrings above. How pretty and floaty, yet sculptural! Love that color. Those earrings are also available in 9 different colors. See more of Janick’s work at her Etsy shop.

I saw that Abigail Percy has some new things up in her Etsy shop for sale, namely these great leaf-inspired pieces. The simplicity of the leaf shapes in the polished silver are my favorites. Many are one-off’s and are never to be repeated. Get your favorites now. (thanks Mav!)

Speaking of checking back with some of the designers I saw at the Stationery Show, just saw that one of my favorite designers at the show, Louella Press, has a full site up with lots of work from thier wedding portfolio. They use the engraving technique for thier cards which I have never seen done in such a modern and forward way. Love the engraving on dark card stocks. They design with a varied style and do traditional, modern and vintage looks that all look amazing. The quality of engraving is superb… gorgeous stuff.
