“The concept was to create furniture for modern nomadic culture. It is easy to setup and pack flat for space saving transportation. The first approach was to get rid of screws. This also gets rid of the tools in assembling the furniture. T.SHELF uses cable and zipties to tie every triangle into one piece of furniture/sculpture and functions as displaying books, magazines, plants, pictures, or anything you want to display.”
I love that these can so easily be transformed into sculpture and/or functional object. I especially love the T Shelf and the M Stool. The use of zip-ties may seem a bit declassé, but if you want to change things around easily, they’re kinda perfect.

Shopbop has some cute sandals right now… I’ve been on the lookout recently because my old stand-by pair of black sandals broke at the end of last summer. I think these Cayman sandals by Jeffrey Campbell are my favourite- super classic yet modern. I wonder if they’re comfortable?

Have you seen these covers yet? Super feminine one minute, masculine the next. A true chameleon. This is why Tilda is queen.

I found a bunch of things this weekend at estate sales with my good friend Kim- mostly dishtowels!
I was pleased to find this set of four, each with a different embroidered border:

Crazy Hair: a workshop which is taking place at the Domaine de Boisbuchet in August. The workshop is a collaborative effort by Studio Marisol, a French academy for hairstyling, and Cul de Sac design studio. These hairpieces and subsequent photos were create to promote the workshop… looks like fun!

These look so comfy for around the house. Not to mention stylish. A little out of my price range as far as slippers go, but a girl can look, right?

A couple of necklaces I just added to the shop… but really want to keep! The turquoise one also looks really good with the triangle necklace, in my opinion.

Spring is here! Many of my succulents are blooming. The cornflower is from outside of my local post office (yes I’m a flower thief), but the little lavender stems with the tiny flowers are from some Sedums in my garden. Ignore the cottage cheese texture on my wall in the second picture.
*In other news, I put a ton of vintage shoes in the shop, so check them out!
