Shop update: More May deals

this pair of sandals has got to be made for our weather. from here, via her. also if you're wondering, yes we do! more lightweight styles in the shop: we've got new floral blouses, short cotton dresses in safari-colours and the cutest hairbands in town (plaids, bows and florals!). from tomorrow onwards.

thanks to a friend, we got acquainted with this really wonderful book. not sold at our store, but definitely available at most bookshops. synopsis here.

Amazing

paper sculptures by Iwant (top) and julien vallee (bottom). agency/artist discovered through last month's IDN magazine, a really great read.

beautiful series of images styled by jean paul gaultier, who bears such a strong resemblence to pablo picasso. or is it just us? thanks to rock the trend.

we like this space. it won apartment therapy's small cool challenge and the owner happens to be miss spinach's friend (try saying that out loud, and we do miss her!).

Shop update:

we're so in love with david herbert's really useful cookbook. it really is very useful. available at SL now. read more about it here.

these patterns by suturno are gorgeous. thanks to bloesem. and we can't help but think of vain & vapid's latest cecilia lisbon dress made with a really pretty fabric.
