This is by far the best work I’ve seen in a while. Absolutely inspiring work from this husband and wife pair. The photos are mostly of projects from the 70’s and 80’s, and I can think of a handful of artists making work right now that strives to look just like this, but not nearly as successfully executed.





I wish I could post every single photo because these projects are just so amazing. Look here for more.

I love these slip-ons (though I wish they didn’t have a driving sole)! The booties are awesome too. You can even send Alyssa your own brand new boots and have them customized with the design of your choice.

I really would love to see these in my dining room.

Oh Dries. You never cease to inspire me with your seemingly effortless use of pattern.

So, I rarely buy shoes on an impulse, especially online. But these were totally worth it because they were a sweet sweet deal. I can’t wait until they come in the mail.

You may remember that I have a girl crush on Miranda July (also Amy Sedaris, and a few others). Anyway, Kate posted a piece about this photo series that July made for Vice where she poses as extras from various movies. Not like bit characters, but straight-up extras. Love these.

I love the detailed work of Ssin (pseudonym?)

Love this new-ish line that was posted by Refinery 29. Some very sweet looks for Spring. It sort of reminds me of a pared down version of the now defunct Mayle which was one of my favourite lines.

Here are some Etsy picks that reflect a certain old-fashioned academic aesthetic which has rather disappeared from modern schools, but which are perfectly suited to a home setting.
