Tumblr Tuesday: Tree Beds and Driftwood Horses

I wanted a canopy bed SO badly when I was little–this tree bed would’ve been right up my alley; QR codes seem to be everywhere these days, but I’ve never seen a QR code in 3-D;  ABT soloist Misty Copeland (she’s a favorite of PRINCE, y’all) has been an inspiration since I first read about her in Suede magazine years ago; This horse sculpture created from found driftwood is grotesquely lovely; I love that the...

Current Obsession: Camera Purses

Camera bags exist to serve a very specific function: to safely and securely hold camera equipment. Most have padded compartments designed to fit a DSLR camera body, a lens or two, a flash, and maybe spot for cash and keys. Unfortunately, they’re usually UGLY.

Tiffany’s donated a beautiful reversible bag to raffle off (thanks, Darcy!), and jewelry designer Megan Fenno donated...

Tumblr Tuesday: Skull Chandeliers and Black Unicorns

Tumblr Tuesday: The Gilded Age

I wouldn’t mind taking a dip in King George VI’s gold tub; The loveliness of this sleek iPhone amplifier cannot be overemphasized; There HAS to be some non-Gaga circumstance in which a gold bustier leotard thingy is appropriate; Gilded satin booties and purple feathers remind me of you know who; I always enjoy a bag that takes the idea of gold leaf as literally as possible; Intellectually, I understand that a gold copy machine is...
