Dzmitry Samal
I’m in the market for a new pair of glasses (I love my current frames but they’re struggling) and absolutely love these handmade specs by Paris designer Dzmitry Samal. No, I haven’t succumbed to Hipsterdom, though I do admit these have designer coffee at Big Bear (on a Tuesday at 11am, because you’re like, totally...
Reyes & Barüch
My current situation (aside from random interactions with people from this site) isn’t super conducive to meeting artistically creative people… So, every time I have a chance encounter with someone who has that spark, it’s like this much appreciated breath of fresh air. I try to stimulate that under-utilized aspect of my personality with things...

Ones To Watch
I am late to the game posting this… but I was just admiring Vaux Hall’s “Ones to Watch”: Alice Lee, Phoebe English, Shao Yen and Malene Oddershede Bach. Definitely worth sharing if you haven’t seen these talented emerging designers. I would write more… but after last night’s surreal experience on the North Shore I think...

Sketchy
Remember when you were a kid and you could sit and draw for hours? I could get lost on a sheet of paper… it was awesome. I still have my moments (right Katie?) but I have to admit it’s harder for me to devote time to creative endeavors these days. That’s why I love the...
Gail Sorronda
Have you ever had one of those weekends where everything just clicks? I realized this weekend that sometimes, if you just kind of stand back and watch life unfold, things fall into place. Often, even better than if you had a hand in things. In the midst of 3 days I was inspired (you know I...
New Looks From Burçe Bekrek… Think Spring!!!
I wrote about Burçe Bekrek earlier this year (An Urban Socialite “One to Watch”) and LOVE her SS12 collection! Check out the entire collection on her website. More about this talented designer: Born in Istanbul (1983), Burçe Bekrek graduated from Istanbul’s Marmara University (2005) – Faculty of Fine Arts, Textile and Fashion Design with an...
Obakki Holiday 2011
Nothing like a little sunshine in the midst of a rainy week!! Anyway, I wrote about Obakki back in January and love their latest collection of adorable little party dresses, so I thought I’d share. I love the brand’s simple, relaxed style… and the best part is, it’s affordable luxury! They have a great sale...
sculptural silhouettes by jungeun lee
I have been experimenting and researching unconventional methods of creating garments. The technique I have developed also can be applied to create products. Wrapping synthetic fibre around a desired form or chosen objects fascinates me. Through a heating process, wound fibre transformes itself into a 3-dimensional moulded garment bringing expected and unexpected sculptural silhouettes. ~Jungeun...
One to Watch: Daniela Bekerman
I love the concept behind designer Daniela Bekerman‘s Ze o Ze (Hebrew for “This or This”) shoe! A base shoe with customizable heels, straps, etc. Oh yeah, and I totally want this candy bracelet purse, also by the same designer. Via Design-Milk
