I discovered how adorable Betsey Johnson's accessories were on a recent shopping trip. I love the jewelry for it's collaging of different textures and visuals. The shoes are awesome too. I definitely need a pair of those cute ones on the right. We all know Betsey is a master of fabric, so it's awesome she's made sweet and fun accessories to go with her amazing works of cloth. Betsey's line can be found at her site and boutiques, or at select departments stores like Nordstroms and Macys.
Tonight on Espn make sure you catch the women's superpipe finals. It should be on sometime in between 9:30 and 11:30 pm. Riders Torah Bright, Gretchen Bleiler, Kelly Clark, Hannah Teter, and some others are sure to tear up the snowflakes. I'm excited to see Torah, even though she won't be riding a board I designed this year.
Then on Saturday in between 3-6pm on ABC be sure to check out the women's slopestyle finals. They haven't posted who the finalist are that will be competing in that but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Alexis Waite, Erin Comstock, Tara Dakides, and Kjersti Buaas.
Back in August I posted about the amazing illustrator, Charley Harper. I was lucky enough to score that poster for Christmas, but now I want more!
Not only can you own beautiful Charley Harper artwork to hang on your wall, you can now have him in your kitchen. Towels, dinnerware, salt and pepper shakers and candles are available at Tag.
Cupcakes are cute no matter what, even when they're moldy; like this one, made by wonderful crochet artist, Julie at Gleeful Things. She has a variety of beautiful crochet items including more moldy cupcakes, squirrels, owls, and nuts! See more at her etsy shop.
Back in the glory days of my undergrad at UD, during my senior year, I was approached by an adorable girl who told me she really liked my work. That girl was the amazingly talented Haley Smith. I was truly honored that Haley, a freshman at the time, took a second to come up and just share her thoughts with me. We've stayed in touch and since Haley's graduation from UD in May of 2007, she has done amazing things.
Not only does she design fulltime for Urban Outfitter's housewares department, but she's also got prints she designed showing up on clothing at Anthropologie. The adorable seahorse raincoat (pictured above), is awesome. I love the color and the organic shapes the seahorses make. Sweet job Haley!
Check out Haley's sweet blog, and her lovely design portfolio.
More lovely, lovely, lovely Zoo York boards designed by one of my faves, Damien Correll and his buddy Mike Perry. Now go outside and skate on em, or hang em on your wall... like me.
