Spotted these lovely handmade leather shoes, Walk by Anat Dahari. They look soft and comfy, the perfect companions for walking around town …

Here are some of my favorite pieces and styles from Toast early autumn AW2012, which, as always, is filled with gorgeous photography and beautiful styling. Check out the entire lookbook here.

Loving this beautiful print message by Anthony Burrill. {via}

UK designer Sarah Parker teamed up with photographer Michael Bodiam, to illustrate the diets of 5 olympians for Nowness. I love the fun concept of oversized plates and cutlery with miniature meals! (more…)

Want the layered look without the added bulk and price of wearing an extra top underneath? Then this DIY idea from H&M is a must-try: simply get a pair of tights, snip off the feet, cut a hole at the bottom for your head, and voila! you have the perfect layering top.

Be sure to check out these limited-time-only photos over at H&M for more inspiration on how to wear this season’s latest color palette of fun and bright neons.

Anyone who has dabbled long enough in photography (and uses Nikon, Canon or Polaroid cameras) will be able to identify with the fun artwork on these greeting cards and buttons. Along with matching posters, they are part of the Offshoot project, a collaboration between artist/designer Francesca Iannaccone and photographer Xanthe Berkeley. What a creative way to express your photographic love affairs, huh?

Imagine receiving an invitation to attend the hanging of a couple. Sounds brutal? Apparently not to those in Greece.

Interestingly enough, the word “hang” in the Greek language is another word for “marry”, so that to “hang a couple” means to unite them in the bond of marriage. I’m intrigued how Greek designer Chris Trivizas made imaginative use of this cultural fact to create a whimsical wedding invitation that features a miniature heart-shaped noose, complete with instructions on how to tie a slip knot. Everything is stylishly packaged in a box beautifully illustrated by Nadia Louka, resulting in a wedding invite that will truly make a lasting impression on its recipients.

There’s nothing like modern and feminine geometric prints to add that extra vibe and freshness to an object or outfit, be it Vanilla & Lace’s library tote bag or the DIY camera straps featured on DesignLoveFest. The cute tote comes in several prints and colors, but I’m loving the sound of rust chevron. And as for the camera straps, I’ve totally got those on my to-do list! I’m just wondering if it’ll look as great on a big black digital camera as it does on those lovely vintage ones…
