UPDATED POST!!
Just wanted to wish our very talented friend Steven Serrato the best of luck. He’s interviewing in the Netherlands just been accepted to the prestigious Werkplaats School of Typography! Even though we don’t want him to leave, we wish him good luck, and a fun time! Congratulations!!!
Hey Steven… UPDATE YOUR SITE, MAN! Version 2.o has been coming for how long…?!
I received the kindest email the other day from James Gulliver Hancock, telling me how lovely my blog was- and the best part was that he didn’t even realize that I had posted his work!! He just happened to find The Looksee while blog-trolling. That was probably the nicest compliment of all. So anyway, that email served as a reminder to check out his newer works. I’m loving this piece in his shop.
So first of all, I would just like to lament the fact that last week I broke my camera! This was my very first little digital camera which Seth helped me pick out- a Panasonic DMC-FX07 with a Leica lense. A great little trouper of a camera. Sadly whilst whipping it out to take a photo I dropped it, and even though it was not too far off the ground, the impact was too much. Now I can’t zoom in and out, nor can I focus by doing a little half-press of the shutter button. So time to save up! *Sigh.
Anyway, as you may know from previous posts, Seth and I have invested in this aesthetically decent sofa from Urban Outfitters. It goes pretty well with our vintage Danish modern chair, and most of our decor. The sofa we really love is this one (if we were to buy new), but we would love to have either of these gorgeous authentic vintage ones:
So my husband and I found several vintage postcards in Ouray, Colorado while shopping around… of course none of which were actually from the place we were staying! We found several postcards for Cave of the Winds, which is in Manitou, Colorado; a booklet of postcards for the San Diego Zoo; and a beautiful Mexican postcard of the most elaborate headdresses. The one below is a hand-coloured postcard from the Cave of the Winds… which we consequently now want to visit.
This is fantastic and fun… done by a group of artists in Italy.
The print of this dress is phenomenal. Lena posted this originally, and I just had to repost because it was too good not to.
These bags are so simple and lovely… this one below is my favourite.
Too bad white items don’t last a day in my possession! Must learn to be more graceful with beverages…

This necklace is awesome… made from recycled plastic beads.
I just stumbled across Andrew Neyer’s work on Etsy, then went to his official site… Great stuff! You can buy his Mind Control zine on Etsy for a mere $7 (complete with totally rad-i-cool Laser Eyes glasses). Whatta deal.
Kind of a gross name… however, these little cast sculptures are sweet. She specializes in putting together odd combos like this, however, I’m more interested in the more traditionally sweet sculptures she’s making, like the ones below. I even thought they’d make good non-traditional cake-toppers for the more progressive bride and groom.
