marble magic

Marble print, in all of its gorgeous, swirling glory, has been on my mind these days. It's not every day that something can evoke the elegance of ancient Greek architecture, and, on the other side of that same coin, Ken Kesey, psychedelia, and ooooh yes, "Further," the Merry Pranksters' technicolor school bus. Lately I've been starting a bit of a marbled object collection, somewhat accidentally, somewhat with intention because oh, it's just so good. DIY marbled paper is up next. Below, some of my favorite eye treats.

All images and objects can be found over at my Pinterest.

synchronous rotation

It seems that I've become kinda, sorta, quite into moons lately. Truthfully I've loved space for as long as I can remember, stargazing in front of my house with my Dad, asking hungrily which constellations were which, squinting skyward and always, always ending up dizzy. I still keep track of things happening in the sky, trying my best to catch eclipses and meteor activities, to stare up into the still darkness and smile at the beauty, the wildness, the sheer wacky awesomeness of it. Sometimes it's easy to forget! But truly we'd be foolish to allow that.

The moon is currently waning after a knockout "wolf moon" on the 15th of January (so bright!), but still, we can appreciate some selenic (ooh) goodness, no? Below, a few of my favorite moon-y items from around the web to aid in surrounding yourself with this most wondrous presence as we continue, as always, to rotate alongside it, synchronously. And now onto the STUFF, before I get too carried away...

ps // If you're with me on this, I'd recommend reading artist and all around rad lady Lauren Spencer King's blog, The Sphinx and the Milky Way - not only does she offer little peaks into her amazing universe of inspirations (art, music, writings), but she also composes these really thoughtful Full Moon readings each month that are lovely to read and ponder. Her 2014 moon calendar is below!

color story // I fell off my pink cloud with a thud

Elizabeth Taylor spoke the above words - she knew pink meant something of a fairytale, an unapologetic saccharine sweetness, girlishness in the most textbook of manners. Well, this is a color love that kind of snuck up on me. In unexpected places, I think it can be quite magical. Like a knowing wink. And, you know, bubblegum colored candy floss.

Jujumade ceramic goodness. I especially love the jewelry (the little studs, the weight-like necklaces, and the ones that remind me of children's bead mazes). the bags --- admittedly completely gorgeous --- do remind me of Building Block! That's just fine for me personally - if more accessories begin to look like this, I'd be one happy camper. (thanks to Miss Moss, as always)

Berlin-based Reality Studio's first foray into footwear is a goodie. Cork and leather and flatforms, yes please. More styles of their 'souvenir' collection here.

a small collection

Punchy little jewelry bits by Alyson Fox, as a part of a project called a small collection. I like names that tell it how it is. The line sticks to a handful of raw silk pieces, a scarf, tote, and the below little wonders.

Reality Studio designer Svenja Specht takes inspiration from traditional clothing and ancient craft technique. The spring collection is bundled and warm-hued. I like.

Love these breezy pieces by Hackwith Design House. Zap all these babies into my closet and I could be convinced to forego the rest. (via miss moss)
