Visions of writing utensils

Dorky? Perhaps… however we design-y folks love us some good writing utensils, am I right? In fact the very image of them makes us tremble with desire.

Christine from Wonting emailed me a lovely note yesterday, which is always a good reminder for me to scout for new works from people I’ve featured in the past! Just so happens that she has this print below and many others, like this one, that I also really like.

I also wanted to take an opportunity to express my newfound conversion to the Caran d’Ache pens from Switzerland. Seth converted me… they’re beautiful enameled pens that come in fantastic colours, and have a great weight to them. Did I mention that they come in badical fluorescent enamels too? You may already be familiar with them, but have you tried them?

Oh, and I found these rad vintage Avon barrettes recently, and thought “Hmm, must have”. Sorry- not the greatest photo.

White Capri pleated bags- a follow up

So when I posted my original post about White Capri pleated bags, you all responded very enthusiastically… since then, they’ve put up an English version of their site, and you can either buy directly from them, or you can go here.

Resort 2009

Well, people have been showing their Resort collections for a little while now. To be honest, I haven’t really been into any whole collection. More like little bits and pieces from a few different collections. Resort is a rather transitional season for fashion, but I was hoping that more collections would stand out.

Here are a few pieces I’ve liked so far:

Louis Vuitton

Etsy find: Maramiki

Etsy seller Maramiki sells beautiful screenprinted fabrics which you can buy by the yard, or she also sells little pillow, pincushions, etc. with her prints. They are so charming!

Dreamy sandals

I love these A.P.C canvas sandals.  They are so classic and perfect for summer.

Perks & Mini

The print of this dress is phenomenal.  Lena posted this originally, and I just had to repost because it was too good not to.
