I’m sorry I’ve been away, peeps! It sure looks like I’ve gone on permanent vacation, but I haven’t!!! No way. I love you and this space too much to stop posting. It’s just been a whirlwind of projects and I’m busy to no end (which is good!). On the other hand, there is indeed a bit of a shortage of words here, so I’m going to leave you with some good summery links to explore over the weekend. Next week should be a bit mellower and I plan on sharing some pics from recent portrait sessions I did that rocked my world.
The lovely images above are part of the Permanent Vacation (summer collection). Check out just how cool they are: “Permanent Vacation is a group of creative people based on the west coast of Sweden. We foremost do what others refers to as fashion. But we also do lots of other stuff; photograph, play records, special design work-clothes, colabs, writing, styling for music videos and so on. Starting 2009 we also have a separate scenography department. (about the clothing line) Tired of all impractical pretensions in fashion today, Permanent Vacation clothes are inspired by the classic gentleman’s way of dressing; dapper, shapely, comfortable and useful, garments aimed to love, wear out and repair.”
Isn’t that awesome? I’m in love with the concept of a colab… Would love to tempt some of my creative friends (you know who you are!) to put together something like this, where we all bring our top and diverse skills to a variety of projects. (Hmm. Ideas like this make my “producer” side sparkle!) And the clothes seem so comfy too. Especially now, that I work from home, I love the idea of lounging garments “aimed to love and wear out!” One of each, por favor!
Good news! Issue 4 of Antler Magazine is out! You are not going to want to miss this issue. I loved every page. So indie and so delicious, with a few new artists finds that blew my socks off. I’m not going to ruin the surprise (I think you should get your own copy :))… But one of the highlights for me was discovering the art of Sofia Barao. Her mixed media work is a la Sabrina Ward Harrison. Beautiful!
I am also utterly inspired by “Record the Day”. This is another blog by the lovely Jess, who writes Lobster and Swan. She is so talented and I really admire folks like her, that can actually keep track of all the inspiration they come across. She does an amazing job and I can see that turning into a lovely book someday…
A cute line of positively green and yummy cards at Live Inspired. I adore all their products! Browse the site – I assure you, you will be shopping..
One more. Kale Primitifs has jewelry that melts my gypsy heart! Handcarved Bronze!
That’s it for now, lovely peeps I hope that you’ll enjoy the links and the love from me, even though I’ve been neglecting you. You can always follow me on twitte and facebook for other ramdom goodness. Some days it is a lot easier for me keep my posts to 140 characters! :-)
Now, tell me. How is your summer so far? What are you up to? Any fun projects, trips, plans?
