Two completely gorgeous living spaces featured on FvF recently. Crisp spring air! More and more I continue to grasp the intoxicating ways of southern California. Hello, endless months of green. Definitely check out the interview archives over at Freunde von Freunden, you won't regret the time spent scrolling, promise!

Is this not one of the coolest lookbooks you've ever laid eyes on? So sumptuous and artful with the deep green and red backgrounds like a museum's medieval art wing's walls. It seems Wwake and I are having a bit of a (one-sided) love affair these days... (see earlier post here)

Designer Daphne Javitch behind the perrrfectly simple and sexy but woah-expensive underwear line TEN as captured by Natalie Joos @ Tales of Endearment. I love her vintage Carolina Herrera waxing and waning moon print dress (3rd photo). What a dream! Check out the rest here.

color story // snow whites

Sometimes, I just crave a reset. Patterns, slightly too much. Color, too bright. White is a nice refreshing treat.

dress up for days

Australian label Dress Up... oh man. Way, way wayyyy adorable. Get a load of these! maybe it's the divine cut of all of these pieces that is making my heart skip a beat. Give me those mustard palm-printed trousers now, I say. And the bottom left look is making my 80s/90s mom style crush thing flare up again. Thanks to Miss Moss for being a total treasure-finder, as always.

color story // winter sea foam

[originally published on Summer Teeth on November 21, 2013]

This is a palette I am really loving lately. minty green, white, light grey and chestnut hues in the winter, talk about a breath of fresh air! (the stupid-amounts shiny blonde fringe doesn't hurt the cause...)

Just a mini jewelry gift-guide, because who wouldn't be all sorts of pleased to unwrap a 'lil tiny package and find one of these babes sitting pretty inside? HI! Browse a whole landslide of other options over on my pinterest!

wrk-it

[originally published on Summer Teeth on November 13, 2012]

Stumbled upon this amazing L.A.-based label Wrk-Shop via Coolhunting and instantly fell in love with the mildly structural tilt of the clothing and the relaxed feel and styling of the spring 2013 collection. turns out, designer Airi Isoda was inspired by the case study houses built in Southern California in the 1950s (pretty much my favorite decade of building - love!). I can see it. Lots of sweetly simple separates in a clean, sprightly palette of color and texture, and yes, that is the Los Angeles skyline, as photographed by the designer's husband (and design partner), Ryan Upton, from atop Griffith Observatory, gracing shirt collars and shorts hems. Awesome. sdenote: love the first photo's setting in lacma's breezeway and the cool dipped pouches. Wrk-it.

totokaelo

Beautiful beautiful. I would so love to visit the totokaelo store in Seattle. The website is lovely, but being that I cannot afford a thing, the store might be more fulfilling. Sometimes it's just nice to be in the presence of such loveliness, no? And, for fans, they just launched an art + object offshoot website! Ta-da! Cue maaaaaajor sigh-age.

jesse kamm spring

[originally published on Summer Teeth on November 3, 2012]

L.A.-based Jesse Kamm is really something special. This recent collection for spring 2013 is everything I want in my closet since becoming an Angeleno of sorts... Easy, floaty pieces that feel put-together and classy and also relaxed at the same damn time. The kinds of pieces you'd return to season after season, loving them more every time.
