I've been noticing swans everywhere lately (our local Anthro has a lovely paper maché swan on display). See some swan products here + here (love this one!). If I can be so presumptuous as to declare them the new owl, I would like to.Photo by Tim Walker for British Vogue. From that killer Roald Dahl shoot a few years ago. Found here.... |
I'm signing off for the weekend. We're headed out to my parents place where there's the possibility of a cool breeze and the guarantee of a dip in the pool. I'm leaving you with a peek at some of the creative and classy works of Lili Swan. I love her antique and nature inspired pieces, and there's loads to choose from! Have a great weekend everyone!... |

When I mix an ink color for a job, I try to only mix the right amount… you only use a teensy bit really to print. But sometimes it just happens that the ink blob gets bigger and bigger as you try to get the right shade of whatever. It just happens…. When I was working at soolip in west hollywood as the designer, the printer at the time, Joel Larson... |

Manolo Blahnik created the "Swan pumps" that stepped out of the silver screen, and now you can own the same pair. The satin pumps feature crystal-beaded vine appliques and retail for $1,295. Available in white, black and our favorite - cranberry {they run small so order at least a half size up}. The problem? They are only available for pre-order and expe... |

I’m so excited about this post, since it’s the big reveal of Anelle’s very own invitations. And since she’s a stationer (and owner of Seven Swans), you know that these invites are kind of a huge deal. So it’s no surprise that they are absolutely, heart stoppingly gorgeous. Like, file the pictures for inspiration boards, want to reach in and touch them, kinda gorgeous. I am pretty much in love with them, and I know you will be too, so show Anelle some love in the comments and who knows, we may get her to share some of her awesome design skills with a free download or two! **********... |
