Liquid Sky Arts

I’ve blogged about Kathleen and Liquid Sky Arts before, but I can’t help myself… I have to sing her praises again.

A Fanciful Twist

Vanessa Valencia from A Fanciful Twist just added some new prints to her shop, you may really like them…

Lete is an icon in Japan, Japanese youth really appreciate her aesthetic as most of her work is inspired by her childhood and they find it very tender and Parisian. [...]

Thanks, Dooce!

I was thrilled when my bloggy friend Erin over at the Unclutterer blog told me about my appearance on Dooce. Yowser!
I mean, not just me but also Restless Things, a shop with work by Olivia Jeffries that I really love. Being on Dooce is like having an Oprah moment or something so I’m thrilled. [...]

13

I recently dug into a new book called Style Statement: Live By Your Own Design by image consultants Carrie McCarthy and Danielle LaPorte.
