For someone who never leaves home without her teasing brush, I adore these perfect bouffant, Bardot-inspired up-dos. #embracemessyhair

Reconstructed Works
Pep Ventosa‘s style of deconstructing and reconstructing photographic images to create new mosaic-like works is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. His process involves taking as many as 101 photographs of a single subject and then piecing them together like a jigsaw puzzle, creating an entirely new visual experience. I am in love with the image of La Pedrera in Barcelona – I think Antoni Gaudí would be proud.
DIY Gretchen Jones Necklace
A couple of months ago, while visiting New York, we met the lovely Gretchen Jones and were fortunate enough to spend an entire day crafting in her über charming Brooklyn apartment. Not only is she amazingly talented and fascinatingly storied, Gretchen is one of the most humorous and genuine people we’ve gotten to know.
After raiding a local hardware store for supplies and hardware, we spread out over her workspace, and whipped up several pieces of jewelry while sharing anecdotes. One of our favorite pieces was a necklace inspired by the honeycomb Universe necklace from Gretchen’s collection. With some brass rings, neon cording and a clever trick courtesy of Ms. Jones, this bold statement necklace is a cinch to DIY! (PS scroll down for the giveaway details!)
You’ll need:
- various sized brass rings
- neon nylon mason line cord
- scissors
- lighter
Mara Hoffman Swim 2012
Mara Hoffman‘s 2012 swimwear lookbook can only be described as: radical to the nth degree. Honestly, love.
Animal Lamps
Made from glazed earthenware and coupled with Parisian silk lamp shades, these animal-inspired table lamps by Atelier Abigail Ahern are playful, witty, and classy kitsch! I clearly need the bulldog lamp . . .
