Found images

A little browsing this morning lead me to click-and-save a whole trail of inspiring images on Pinterest, so I thought I'd share . . .

My first piece of Jonathan Adler

Here it is, my very first piece of Jonathan Adler pottery! I've been wanting something by Alder for a few years now ever since I saw his Love, Hate etc storage jars from the Druggist range, but the pieces are often pretty pricey and, as he is an American designer, not that easy to find in the UK. So I was incredibly happy to spot this lovely item entitled This Is Not A Pipe in the Heals sale:

It's a tealight holder made from translucent porcelain meaning that when you light your tealight the bowl of the pipe glows softly. What's more, it fits in beautifully with my homeware theme of "English Eccentric" which I have blogged about in the past :)

Shoegazer Fashion: Abstract prints

This season I am in love with abstract / smudge print garments. I can't put my finger on why exactly, but all I know is I can't get enough! Here are some images from various "look books" to illustrate my current fashion fad :)

Above: This outfit is from the Ermie look book and I just love the pairing of the bold, smudge-print skirt with the muted, delicate print grey top.  

Above: These two outfits from the Wilfred look book are beautiful. The outfit on the right is definately a look I would wear for everyday activities. The smudge-print skirt features large, draped pockets at either side, making it practical and teaming it with a chunky knit cardi and opaque tights makes it perfect for this cold weather. WANT.

Above: This abstract print top is from the wonderful Anthropologie and is a garment I actually own :D The deliciously soft, cowl-neck top features twists of fabric (embellished with little bronze beads) that add unusual lines to the garment. The print reminds me somewhat of Alexander McQueen's famous animal/reptile print collection (see here for what I mean). Anyway, I love it.

Above & Below: These outfits are from a Something Else / Natalie Wood look book. I adored the whole look book but these two outfits to me look very wearable and really opitomise the style direction I wanted to go in this Winter.

What is your fashion-fad this season? Are you into abstract prints too? Or perhaps the camel trend? Or has something else caught your eye?... Please share :) x
