Yes, yes, yes to Building Block‘s newest color in their fall lineup. Rich forest green handbags, with their signature leather tassels and geometric wood and plexiglass details, are coaxing me into an obsessive, consuming state. I just adore the simplicity in the silhouettes and the playfulness in the details. So classic, so good. So what will it be? A bucket bag, cylindrical duffle, or backpack? I’ll take all three.
How is this for crazy cool: everything, I mean everything, in Lucy Sparrow’s London corner shop is made from felt. The artist spent eight months hand stitching 4,000 drug store items before opening up her store with the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign. Uncanny replicas of candy bars, cigarettes, magazines, ice cream, canned foods, laundry detergent, beer and condoms stocked the shelves of the installation. As of late summer, Lucy sold out of all her provisions and her Cornershop is closed until further notice.
I’m absolutely smitten with Ryan Roche‘s collection of pale blue and signature pink hued knitwear for fall. Hand crocheted cardigans are woven with hot pink fringe, soft lavender and blush toned fisherman sweaters are loosely knitted, and cashmere capes are oversized and lined with cashmere frill. If that all isn’t sumptuous enough, her gorgeous angora wool hats is like soft whipped icing on the perfect pink cake.
It’s amazing how mirrors, even in outdoors, can transform a space. They add such a homey, cozy element and are able to trick the eye into making a space seem bigger than it is.
