Natural Beauty

I love jewelry that "rings" of the natural world. This one made me think of so many beautiful things. See it here and also support original artists on Etsy.

The Joys of Polyvore

While waiting for something to render, compress, collate or print - or anything that keeps you waiting long enough to start sighing, don't bite your fingernails- go and play on Polyvore. How to explain.. hmmm collagey fun and fashion eyecandy collide. Or just make a pretty picture and gaze on other pretty pictures. I don't know why this is fun but it is!

Tasty Fruit in Fashion

Dried sliced Pear ring, click the picture for La Prochaine Fois

Next time a gallant person practices the chivalrous art of hand smooching give them a nice treat to nibble, besides yourself. This can also fulfill the challenge of buying a unique gift for the person who has everything. I guarantee you, they do not have this. These would also be the perfect accessory for this Fruit roll-up Western shirt. So sweet!

Here is a hint at how amazing this event will be.. Alan Lee who created the world of the gorgeous "Lord Of The Rings" films, co-authored a book that created an entire genre of art called "Faeries". And his co-author Brian Froud will be there too. Brian also created with Jim Henson the pioneering film "The Dark Crystal" that also changed the way films created special effects, my friend and amazing artist Wendy Froud also worked on that film and created Yoda for the "Star Wars" series- all of these folks will be there. Do I need to continue? Please come and enjoy this stunning event.

Pet Fashion Week NY!

"Dogs need to be cute when they go to parties as well, they want to feel elite and posh, just like we are."
Well why not? And yes they dress better than I do.. :)
NEW YORK (AFP) — It's a dog's life during hard economic times. But Chihuahuas in a tutu? Pugs in designer tank-tops? Dachshunds draped in Swarovski bling?

That was the scene at the third annual Pet Fashion Week in Manhattan this past weekend, where despite a looming US recession, the world's dog-loving fashionistas gathered to share ideas, market their products, strut a canine catwalk and raise money for charity.

"I've always loved dressing up dolls and Barbies, and I wanted to take it into something else that I loved, and I love pets," pet-fashion designer Kameron Westcott from Dallas, Texas told AFP as her five-year-old Yorkshire terrier, Louis, peeked out of a canine carry bag designed by luxury fashion giant Louis Vuitton.

"Dogs need to be cute when they go to parties as well," quipped Westcott, who runs an Internet web site hawking a range of Brazilian-made clothes and accessories for dogs.

"They want to feel elite and posh, just like we are."

Things that Look Like Things that are now Something Else

The Sun, a flower, a watch?


Seashells, fish, mysterious countries?

Things that used to be, combined to make things that never were, that make something that is now, beautiful! I love it.
