White Mischief

Tim Walker and Agyness Deyn for Vogue UK, May 2011

Paolo Roversi

I'm pretty sure everyone but me discovered Italian-born photographer Paolo Roversi a long, long time ago, but I just found him recently and he's easily become one of my favourite fashion photographers. It was VERY difficult to choose only a few of his photographs, because everything he shoots is achingly beautiful, moody, and romantic. Just the way I like 'em.

I'm in love with this entire outfit- simple white tee, pleated skirt, and nude heels. Sadly, with all the snow we have I won't be wearing this anytime soon. Happy Friday!

Weekly Bits

1. Check out this interesting project by photographer Rania Matar, who has documented teenage girls from the US and the Middle East in their rooms. It's interesting to see the obvious differences, but also the unexpected similarities. (via automatism)
2. Ever since I bought this bag, I've had a backpack obsession. Next on my wish list is one by Chapel, a company out of Cape Town that uses locally sourced canvas and leather.
3. Beautiful screen printed typography by Jessica Hische.
4. Zara April 2011, full of pretty jewel tones and summer brights.
5. S'mores cookies. Need I say more.
6. May '68 photographed by Jason Brownrigg and styled by Christina Saratsis.

Neon Love

Neon obsession continues, but in shades of hot pink, lime green, citrus yellow, and tangy orange.

Neon Boneyard

To be honest, I've never really been interested in visiting Las Vegas....until I saw these pictures of the city's Neon Museum. Not sure if that's reason enough to book a plane ticket, but these non-restored, beautifully weathered signs are on my mind.

Man does José do covers right. Here's his rendition of "Teardrop" originally by Massive Attack. If you're not familiar with the original, make sure to check it out here. You might recognize it as the opening song for tv show, House.

It's All in the Details

I love it when people get creative. Here are a few wedding details that I'm completely smitten with and have collected along the way.

{ 1. Mushroom cake by Erica O'Brian 2. Fabric garland canopy 3. Ribbon rope swing
4. Handmade fabric and paper flower installation 5. Mod floral bouquets from Bash, Please
6. Vintage typewriter guestbook 7. Hanging parasol canopy }

Colour Inspiration: Cream

{ 1. Creme silk set 2. John Lewis lamp 3. Leather Starburst Necklace 4. Cape dress 5. Paper lanterns
6. Illesteva Frieda sunglasses 7. Damien Hirst print 8. Armadillo Coffee Table }

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what this is, maybe paper artwork? But whatever it is, I am in love with it- the layering, angles, and colour scheme.

edit: Found out this is part of artist Carl Kleiner's art series "The Bærtling Wannabe," reinterpretations of work by Swedish artist, Olle Bærtling.
