Jessica of the splendid and popular fashion blog Shiny Squirrel is launching her online boutique on October 1st. It will feature limited edition exclusive work by up-and-coming artists and designers. There will also be monthly exhibitions showcasing their work.

I can’t wait to check it out! If it weren’t for my grandmother’s 92nd birthday bash I’d be at Jessica’s launch party in Brooklyn on October 6th. Luckily Jessica and I are going to get together for an interview soon, so stay tuned…

Dangly earrings & dangly chandeliers

Dangling earrings post

I love Doyle & Doyle, a stunning little shop with exquisite vintage and estate pieces. It’s a pretty penny but worth perusing for the sake of fantasy at the least. I particularly love the dangly earrings above. They’re so striking. I decided to make a little illustration for them.

I am totally blown away by labour of heart* blog. It’s a work of art in and of itself. While perusing it recently I came across the UK co. delusions of grandeur. They make these fabulous chandeliers and candelabras etc. I wish I could wear the Doyle & Doyle earrings and live in a house with a funky chandelier from delusions of grandeur. Ah….to dream.

Jeremy Olsen and Shih Chieh Huang

Jeremy Olsen paintings

I love the way Jeremy Olsen paints strange and surreal worlds where the light is ominously glowing from within internal organ like structures. I could be looking inside something or from within it. I find his paintings luminous and captivating.

Artist Shih Chieh Huang does similiar work in 3D. Check out his site.

Also, if you know of any babies or kids that need fabulous clothing my favorite children’s clothing company is having a big sale this weekend (it’s my parent’s clothing co. my mom designs everything!). Here’s the flier.
