Portrait of a Lady

 

PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE DAY  / MARIELL AMELIE 

. . . .

I was checking out Base Magazine in between watching Game of Thrones and came across Mariell Amélie's poetic self portrait series from 2006 to 2012. I instantly connected with her work ... in particular the planking shot on the armchair is pretty amazing. Mariell grew up on a small island above the polar circle in Andøya Norway. She now lives and works in London.

"All my images are feelings I've had, feeling I can't always talk about or show in any other way."

JPop! Fun Times!

INSPIRATION TIME  / TREATS FROM JAPAN 

. . . .

When I was a kid I used to go to a crazy Japanese summer camp with kids from Tokyo who would send me box loads of gummy candies and Pocky. Nothing is more awesome than getting treats from abroad. Check out these radical gifts from Japan my dear friend from Caesar Pony picked up for me. They're so cooool. Thank you Emily! 

01 Loving my Torafu paper airvase in fluo pink. It's so beautiful when you pop it into a magical weblike creation. 02 Kamoi paper masking tape is my favorite. If I could, I would cover everything in this. Seriously. 03 This vintage Olive magazine from 1985 is editorial gold. Don't be surprised if suddenly my next project is inspired by this piece of 80's heaven. Jpop fun times!

STYLE STYLE STYLE  / WWAKE

. . . .

On a recent trip to New York, my BFF Erika introduced me to Wing Yau's handknotted jewelry collection WWAKE. Hello gorgeous. I'm pretty much kicking myself for not picking up a necklace, but good news you can buy them online here. Inspired by the simple designs behind traditional handwork and patterns, WWAKE is crafted in none other than beautiful British Columbia. Mad props to the west coast.

RT INVENTORY / TICKLED PINK

. . . .

Today's Inventory is inspired by Pretty in Pink. Spring is the perfect time to start sporting cotton candy hues. Whether it's a little cap, the perfect bubble gum coloured chair or a dreamy soundtrack inspired by a rosy sunset, I'm tickled pink. Awe shucks. Molly Ringwald, eat your heart out.
