POLACOLOR TYPE 108

Before they were silk screens, they were polaroids. 1stdibs is selling a new release of photographs taken by Andy Warhol, and they are fantastic. What is he searching for in a subject and what are they thinking? Are they aware they are in the act of becoming pop art? How did he pick the photographs to become full fledged silk screen paintings?  This is the interesting thing about photography: It is a three-way between you the viewer, the photographer, and the subject. How involved do we get to be? and why am I so intrigued?  I like them as a collection on screen, but in my house I would devote just one to a white wall, it commands that much attention.  That would be if I could cough up the 25 G's.

WHAT THE BRAID

Yo, BRAID FACE! Unearthed this treasure after being inspired by my friend Alison Brislin, who just launched her 2013 Braid Lookbook. She is a master plaiter, plus she can come help you put on a bitchin' braid bash, so fun right? I love the photography and styling, ethereal, vintage, provocative. Not to mention the braids are awesome, and so is she for doing this. High five.  Be sure to check out the rest of the looks on her website, www.alisonbrislin.com.

Sure it's not cheap, but you support an independent designer, and you have some exclusivity here, thats got to count for something right? Not to mention the goods are goood. Take a peek below at some of my favorite things that are available now, and coincidentally look awesome together. NYC, Dallas, San Fran, Portland Maine, it works.

BUBBLE CAT

Umm, excuse me? I must have one of these, or one for each cat. Wilson and Lucinda would LOVE these! aaand they are easy on the eyes, unlike many many not so cute cat accessories out there. In fact, they are BEAUTIFUL! Hand felted, and the color is spot on.  Vaiva Nat has got some wonderful handmade items in her shop including these splendid cat beds. I especially like this, and this. I wish she could make one for me to sleep in.

TIM COLMANT

Bright, happy, fun, free. That is how I would describe the work of Tim Colmant.  I discovered his work while researching my upcoming trip to Belgium, and was immediately drawn to the playful color and uninhibited joy.I would LOVE to have one of these on my wall (or three!) What do you think?

She's fab.  This is what I love about Kelly Wearstler: She. Ain't. Scared.  Here is just the latest round up of things that rock from the world of KW.  Speaking of fearless peeps (and Kelly Wearstler)... did anyone see this? "Shit Designers Say" with my former employer Amanda "so chic" Nisbet.  Tell me you love it. 

... and majorly inspired by this image right now.Wanting to recover my sofa super bad in some of these greens. It's a nice color for all seasons because it can be cozy, but fresh and springy too. We'll see. Cheers!All images and item can be found on Kelly Wearstler's website: www.kellywearstler.com

SPIRITUAL HOME

The West. I saw this image and it brought that feeling of serenity and magic that you feel when you are in one for your Spiritual Homes.  Have I touched on this before? Mine include the following: Tuscany, Wyoming, and The Southwest (Mostly NM, and TX).  These are the places where I truly feel like part of me remains no matter where else I go.

When I stumbled upon this photograph by Jordan Sullivan, I had to share...
