I ♡ Tord


For my birthday, Bonnie gave me a couple of design books knowing that Eric and I have been working on reworking our living space, one of which was a beautiful book on Tord Boontje by Martina Margetts. I knew a little about him, but lately his designs are really speaking to me. I love the use of light and shadow, and the nature inspired silhouettes he plays with. His pieces are modern, yet whimsical...industrial, yet organic. I think it is these contrasts that make his design so appealing.

Top of my want list is the Garland light which can be found via Modern Poverty:



I also love the Icarus light, a favorite of Bonnie's,who commented that it looks like it could take flight... or maybe lay eggs. I also think it could have swooped down onto Vince Neil's head moments before performing Shout at the Devil in 83':

Not that I need another project...



But I find this bird mobile totally inspiring.
Courtesy of Spool, you can download the bird pattern here!

I'm in the mood for sweaters.

I want this. Bad.


I've been eyeing this number for months, and now that it's fall, I keep picturing myself wearing it with plum colored tights and my favorite boots.

Just when I'm trying to tighten the purse strings. Oh Kimenna, why must you tempt me so?

Nantes


I was listening to Beirut's latest album in the car last night, and I had to put Nantes on repeat. I was first introduced to this song via La Blogotheque, resulting in a mini obsession that I just have to revisit. It's been running through my head all morning.

Of all of the videos on Blogotheque, this is a favorite.
