The Ay Bee Cees

These books, cards, and prints over at TheAyBeeCees are great. I love the combination of visual and linguistic art.





The artist also has a literary blog here.

Shu Uemura

Ok. Who wants to host a fantasy party so that I can wear a set of these Shu Uemura eyelashes?






All of the above are from the Tokyo Lash Bar 2008 collection, but their other falsies are incredible, too.

Rachel Wright

Rachel Wright's Dream Anatomy series is incredible.
The Dream Anatomy series explore these imagined realms inside
the body. Because these garments are meant to be worn, the boundary
between the internal and the external is blurred. The invisible is made
visible: wear your inside on the outside. By using women’s slips and nighties,
articles that were not originally intended for public life, I am playiing
with the line between the public and the private arenas.

Oh, um, duh: the ter Horst-Lefler wedding

Oh wow, so in April I attended the wedding of two very wonderful people, [Martha] [Saw]Telle ter Horst and Rex Lefler. Telle is a woman with incredible style, and so, of course, their wedding was incredible down to the bouquet. Anyway, she designed and sewed her dress. Also, she has an incredible tattoo of a vintage Singer on her arm. Here are some photos from the wedding:






And, to top it all off, Mrs. Lefler makes some very wonderful consumables so that you and I can try, if we dare, to emulate her wonderful style. She's got jewelry here and clothing here.

Seed Clothing

I think this dress is fabulous. It reminds me of my friend Martha's wedding dress, which she made (and which, come to think about, I should post here. So I will. After this). This wonderful dress is from Seed Clothing.


Tabi Boots!

I feel like it's really, really, really wrong for me to like these boots and slippers. But I do. A lot.

Colleen Baran

Oh, wow, how much do I love Colleen Baran's amazing jewelry?


From the Cloud Series, this set of rings can be worn in any number of combinations to make a wonderful, unique piece.





These two rings have spaces in which to put love letters; I think that's lovely.
