Giles Deacon officially took “the accessory of the season” to the next level at his fall showing this week in London. I’m inspired to go purchase the thickest skein of yarn and the largest needles possible to knit these sick, super-sized beanies.
Gallery Walls
I love this way of displaying a collection of artwork. But what’s the secret to transforming an otherwise boring wall into an at-home gallery? A diverse selection of photographs and art in a variety of mismatched frames and the willingness to forgo your obsession with perfection and symmetry. A bit of foresight in mapping out your collage on the floor before hanging helps too!
Emerson Fry Spring 2013
Starting February 25th Emerson Fry has got you covered with every wardrobe essential you could possibly need, including railroad striped pants, worn-in tees, lightweight blouses, caftans, printed trousers, t-shirt dresses, and perfectly cropped jeans. Accessorize with a studded belt, dark shades, a big black bag, cuffed heels and done – you’re ready for spring!
Daily Dishonesty
How many times have we reassured ourselves with little white lies? As a self described lover of typography and occasional abuser of empty promises, I adore this series of daily dishonesties by graphic designer and illustrator Lauren Hom.
DIY Jeweled Beanie
From beanies to floppy hats to fur trappers, hats ruled the streets during fashion week earlier this month. The accessory was absolutely necessary in protecting against New York’s unrelenting elements (ahem, Nemo). So after eyeing Elisa Nalin‘s jeweled Paule Ka beanie, we thought we’d spare a beanie from our generous stockpile for another embellished hat DIY. After all, winter ain’t over yet!
You’ll need:
- a ribbed boyfriend beanie
- sew on crystals
- flat back crystals
- a 2″ x 8″ piece of muslin
- needle & thread
- E6000
- toothpick
