A Study In Contrast

A friend forwarded me images of this photo shoot that Australian graphic artist turned style blogger Amy Moss did. I think the images are really compelling. They took a typically unpretty thing like fast food and turned it into high-designer gorgeousness. Very very cool. The rest of her blog is pretty amazing as well. Check her out at EAT DRINK CHIC.

 Hello my blog friends! Sorry for the lack of posts, I had a nasty stomach flu at the end of last week that pretty shut me down for 48 hours. Not. Fun. Enough about that. Check out these AMAZING pieces of jewelry above by Elisabeth Bell.  The creator, Beth Kaltman, was a model from Wilhelmina who had extra time while living in NY so she would go to the MET and would stare at ancient jewelry collections for hours (try not to hate her). She took classes learning metal smything so that she could make her own jewelry and her love of animals had her creating the talon necklaces. I've always been a fan of cool gold claws and horns and these are exceptional. I'm especially in love with the Great Horned Owl Talon with a diamond and the Peregrine Falcon talon with the emerald.

Good morning! I am seriously so exhausted from dancing last night at the Vampire Weekend show with Fabulous K but I thought I would share these amazing images from this Treehouse company from Germany. This is somebody's office. How amazing is THAT?

I'm dreaming...

I shot a few editorials yesterday that are set to go out in December so there was plenty of velvet, Candy Canes, & fake snow. So between that and the fact that the Neiman Marcus Christmas book was unveiled yesterday, I am already feeling a bit giddy for Christmas. The book is GORGEOUS and the Fantasy Gifts are awesome this year. How about we do some pre-shopping so I know exactly what to get you...

Would you like a modern houseboat with a king sized bed and a full kitchen?

 

Maybe an edible Dylan's Candy Bar playhouse for your little one?

Or would you prefer a Dale Chihuly Pool Sculpture Installation?

 

No wait, I've got it. You want the newly revamped and surprisingly cool 2011 Neiman Marcus Edition Camaro Convertible in the ultra-chic color of Deep Bordeaux.

 I'm so glad we cleared that up.

And P.S. did you guys check out my guest post over to Hello, Splendor yesterday? I reviewed the awesome band El Gato.

I'm Obsessed

I was blog surfing during lunch and came upon this website called The Selby. It's a website filled with Tom Selby's photography that catch creative types in their personal spaces. I LOVE this concept because I think that a person's home says so much about them and these pictures give you such great snapshots into their lives. I also love that the website was started by Selby doing test photos of friends in their homes, a little grass roots effort if you will. I've been paging through the website and I can't get enough, each picture is so interesting. Check it out!
