{ i kneed a brace }

normally i enjoy sitting on the couch on a sat afternoon, but generally not with a bag of cold ice upon my left knee. the price to pay for wearing platform heels and taking an awkward step forward i suppose. i did manage to purchase a knee brace...but im less than impressed with its bland grey tone. i then started thinking, i wonder if there were more "fashion friendly" knee braces out there? it looks like it hasn't been designed yet, but i did find an editorial from dazed and confused magazine featuring kinga rajzak sporting a few floral printed bands. thanks bunny BISOUS for the blog post!

   

    

              

     

     

     

      

{ threadless + steven alan }

threadless tshirts teamed up with designer steven alan to look for a new pattern to adorn one of his products during new york fashion weeks "fashion night out". i tried my hands at a pattern inspired by french stained glass artist claude bettinger. you can check out and vote for my submission called electric lines.

{ the drawings on the wall }

wall paper dies, and then it comes back again, and now it resurrects in a new form. the on going trend of wall decals is a new way of adding character to your empty wall.  i came across a company called blik that features wall decals designed by illustrators and graphic designers, that base their work on fashion, art, abstract designs, foliage, and pop culture.

my absolute fav decals were created by david bray and you can check out his page on blik here and see pics below.

{ peter jensen: a/w 2011 }

i came across peter jensen's photoshoot for his fall 2011 campaign during my search of favourite items from the catwalk. inspired by 60s danish model anna karina, jensen has created a picture of a vibrant, modern day love story and simply put, it is stunning!

{ can't wait for fall }

so this post comes a wee bit too late by fashion standards but for those who rather follow trends during their current season, then this post comes early! Fall/Winter 2011 runway shows featured a few little items that I already have saved on my wish list...and even though I would love to have them right now, these are fall collections, which gives me time to save for a little while..umm, okay a long while (frown 

face). images were found on style.com

{ when beady eyes are smiling }

anyone that knows me, knows i am a complete anglomaniac...a term coined to describe a person whom is obsessed with british culture. from fashion, to movies, and of course music, i am a brit lover at heart and i am thrilled to have learned that oasis is back (well sorta, minus noel gallagher, but who needs all that brother rivalry stuff anyways). 

the only thing i wasn't thrilled about was how long it took me to discover their new album different gear, still speeding under the new band name beady eye.  their album has now been released in north america, and indeed those boys are still speeding. check out their single the roller below! a mix of brit pop/rock with 60s swing....this album as the brits would say, is brilliant ;)
