Cure-all

I have unfortunately been sick with a cold for the last week or so, which has allowed me a lot of time at home to browse the web. One of my favorite things to look for are scrumptious recipes on epicurious.com, this week I've been searching soup and bread recipes, that I imagine I'm going to make and will magically cure me. But I'm so out of it from the cold medicine, I really never move from the couch. 

Kamo

One of the highlights of the recent Spring Couture shows in Paris was the intricate headdresses created for the Chanel show by the hairdresser Kamo. I was blown away when I learned they were all made from cut paper. 

One More Reason to Move to New Zealand

I love this portable house from the architects at Atelier Workshop. It is such a clever design as well as being environmentally friendly, unfortunately it is only available in New Zealand. 

Elisabeth Dunker

I have been a frequent visitor to Elisabeth Dunker's blog, Fine Little day for a couple years now, but it is only recently that I have become acquainted with her illustrative work. Her Aesthetic is distinctly nordic which is especially true with the work she has done with textiles. Many of her products are available through her blog, which I highly recommend. 

The Selby

What can I say about The Selby that hasn't already been said. It seems like over the last few months I can't turn around without hearing something about Todd Selby's photography site. Where he features the living spaces of artists, musicians, writers... really anybody in the creative world. The personal nature of the photographs makes them strangely addicting, it feels as if you have been invited to a really great dinner party with the most interesting and eccentric hosts.

Serenity

I realize not everyone feels the same way I do today, but personally I am elated by the exquisite possibilities today brings. And although I'm sure I won't always feel this way over the next four years, right now I am sincerely hopeful.

Gallery Walls

I really like the look these spaces have with the collage of photographs on the walls, it seems like one of those elements that might look best when it comes about organically, so I'll try to patiently achieve this effect in my apartment, I've never been that patient though.

Aesthetic Apparatus

Aesthetic Apparatus is a Minneapolis based design duo that is best known for their limited edition screen-printed posters, which you can purchase on their site. They have also done some refreshing, non-poster work for the likes of Criterion Collection, Chronicle Books, and Secret Garden Films.

Robert Maxwell

Robert Maxwell specializes in celebrity portraiture and you'll often find his provocative work in that area featured in the New York Times Magazine and Fortune, but I also really like his monographs and nudes which have a mesmerizing, old fashioned quality to them.

Fontaine Anderson

Fontaine Anderson is an illustrator based in Adelaide, South Australia. Her images are captivating with a beautiful line quality, which is especially true in her simpler compositions.
