I would like to share with you the amazing paper creations of Irving Harper, which is part of Herman Miller’s Why Design series. Irving Harper is one of the most prolific designers who helped shape American Modernism. You may not have heard his name, but I’m sure you’ve seen his iconic designs, such as the Marshmallow sofa and the Ball clock. (more…)

Joanna Henderson is a London-based interior and still life photographer, whose gorgeous works I recently discovered. She has a magical way of making a simple interior shot extraordinary. I’m especially drawn to her still life pictures, and the beautiful details she had captured. Check out more of her inspiring portfolio here.

The animal print style may be here to stay. It has been sighted on the runway for many seasons now. If like me, you’ve been resisting this trend, you may wish to jump on the “band-wagon” now by starting small. Plus, if this helps at all, animal prints have been around since my grandmother’s time. (A note of caution, don’t attempt to wear MORE THAN ONE animal print item at one time.)

Shown above are:
1. lambskin clutch purse by Serpui Marie
2. brown leopard ballet flats by Anniel
3. silk leopard blouse
4. animal print socks
5. leopard spot leather skinny belt
6. wedge boots
RAWR!

I’m loving the bracelets and necklaces with indigo thread, which you can probably tell from the selection above…. View the lookbook, and check out the entire range here.
