Now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Lung handcrafts each pair of glasses and offers them up as limited editions. You'll have to fight to get your hands on a pair of Archytas, though. Only five pairs go on sale this Saturday at 10 am EST for $570 each. <a href="http://www.jacquelinelung.com/shoparchytas/" target="_blank">Sign up</a> at Lung's site to get notified of the launch.Marissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03594401780956393049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874433120989362064.post-5297456320993278492016-06-01T09:42:00.000-04:002016-06-01T09:42:08.481-04:00Kazuyuki Ishihara's Garage Garden at the Chelsea Flower Show<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When you've won gold medals four years running at the foremost flower show in the world, you're entitled to take some risks, which is exactly what Japanese landscape artist <a href="http://www.kaza-hana.jp/" target="_blank">Kazuyuki Ishihara</a> did with his <a href="https://www.rhs.org.uk/shows-events/rhs-chelsea-flower-show/Gardens/2016/Senri-Sentei-Garage-Garden" target="_blank">Senri-Sentei Garage Garden</a>. The bizarre idea of a carpark/garden amalgam paid off when Ishihara presented the lush result at London's <a href="https://www.rhs.org.uk/shows-events/rhs-chelsea-flower-show" target="_blank">Chelsea Flower Show</a> last week, earning him yet another gold medal in the Artisan Gardens category.<br />
<br />
Designed for an antique car enthusiast, the Senri-Sentei Garage Garden is a two-tier structure covered in verdant plantings that are meant to complement the vehicle inside. While the ground floor offers essential parking space, the rooftop provides room for a family to relax.<br />

<br />
We all know off-the-shoulder tops are bigger this year than ever before, but this video came out last summer, and it's a total GAME CHANGER! For lack of a less cliche phrase, the struggle is real: Off-the-shoulder tops just don't stay off the shoulder. Either glue your arms to your side for the night, or engage in a delicate dance of tugging and shrugging. Enter this amazing tutorial by <a href="http://www.refinery29.com/how-to-wear-peasant-blouse" target="_blank">Refinery29</a> that I found out of pure desperation...<br />
<br />
So, now that you know how to wear 'em, I've rounded up the best of the trend below. Happy Memorial Day weekend, you cold-shouldered goddess, you!<br />

Having launched in Boston (and several other cities) earlier this year, interior design firm <a href="https://www.decoraid.com/" target="_blank">Decor Aid</a> is spreading like wildfire by passing trade-only discounts on to clients, and I'm liking what I see! This family apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side combines easy mid-century style with just a touch of glam, plus a cool, neutral palette that lets the view take center stage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The original interior featured outdated, mismatched furnishings and an overall gloomy aesthetic that didn't take advantage of the apartment's abundant natural light. Like many mothers, the client wanted a kid-friendly, yet sophisticated, family home that would be uncluttered and serene. She asked Decor Aid to create distinct spaces that would coexist, allowing her to relax or work while keeping an eye on the kids.</div>

DESIGN CHALLENGE: The large living area was irregular with curved windows; the asymmetrical shape needed balance along with defined and separate areas for living, dining and sitting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We were aiming for a perfectly blended aesthetic of modern minimalism that was functional for living with small children. We selected sturdy upholstery fabrics and pieces that could take a bit of wear and tear, yet elevated enough to work with the heirloom pieces the client inherited from her grandmother. We chose a calming palette of soothing grays and blues to echo the backdrop and create a tranquil environment. Clean lines, simple silhouettes and white walls elevated the neutral backdrop and provided a sense of separate and distinct spaces. A monochromatic palette, layered with different textures, provided a cozy look and feel. Blue sitting chairs provide a pop of color and a cheerful detail, while [adding] a sense of separation from the TV area. Metallic accessories, a silk rug and wood accents on the furniture add dimension and a sense of warmth and richness to the room. The dining area doubles as a workspace, so we used a modern table with a streamlined silhouette to take up minimal space. A sense of balance and harmony was achieved using a complimentary mix of rounded and linear shapes and modestly sized furniture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We added light to the narrow, dark entryway by hanging a large convex mirror in the center. A thin console table provides a place for keys, while a bench at the end occupies minimal space for sitting and removing shoes.</div>

I'm finally back from Italy, and I'm feeling inspired. Not by Italian fashion, mind you, but by the style of so many Asian tourists. It's true: from Venice to Florence to Rome, the Asian girls were killing it, and they were all wearing culottes. Seriously... all of them.<br />
<br />
Call them what you will—culottes, gauchos, palazzo pants—but it took dozens of stylish Asian tourists to prove to me that wide, cropped pants can look as awesome on petite girls like me as they do on model types. I snagged a pair for myself on my last day in Rome, and I've rounded up a bunch more for you below. Just click to shop!<br />

Guess what? I'm in Italy! You may not be hearing from me much in the next couple of weeks as I eat my way through Venice, Florence, Tuscany and Rome, but take a look at this to-die-for Roman apartment in the meantime. Renovated and decorated by architect <a href="http://www.salvagniarchitetti.net/achille-salvagni" target="_blank">Achille Salvagni </a>for his most exacting client<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.2px;">—</span>himself—the apartment combines modern art and furnishings with antique family heirlooms.</div>

<a name='more'></a>Salvagni tells <a href="http://www.interiordesign.net/projects/10057-rome-wasn-t-built-in-a-day-neither-was-achille-salvagni-s-apartment/" target="_blank"><i>Interior Design</i> magazine</a> of renovating the 2,600-square-foot space for his family of four. The district in which it is located is named for architect Gino Coppedè, who built dozens of art nouveau apartment buildings in the area. Salvagni repainted most of the pale yellow walls in white to offset the vibrant Roman sunsets (“If you have colored walls, they become really psychedelic,” he says.), though he chose a teal silk for the windowless central hall.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Salvagni tore down walls to connect various small rooms, leaving him with a patchwork of clashing marble floors. Out of respect for the past, he decided against tearing out most of the marble and instead covered it with oak planks. It was only in the kitchen and master bath that Salvagni entirely replaced the original flooring, creating a striking striped pattern of black and white marble.<br /><div>

I don't expect I'll be staying anywhere near as glamorous during by Italian travels, but I'm sure I'll have plenty to report when I return. You can also check out my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/marissayaar/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> for periodic updates. Ciao!</div>

Following up on <a href="http://www.thewellappointedcatwalk.com/2015/03/tiffany-2015-blue-book-collection-art.html" target="_blank">last year's "Art of the Sea"</a> theme, the <a href="http://www.tiffany.com/" target="_blank">Tiffany & Co.</a> Blue Book Collection turns its attention to the wider natural world for 2016. Dubbed "The Art of Transformation," this year's Blue Book once again plumbs the depths of the ocean with watery blue and green jewels, then returns to shore with decadent diamonds in earth tones.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Curated by Tiffany & Co. design director Francesca Amfitheatrof, the Blue Book is an annual collection of Tiffany's most over-the-top jewels.<br />

I'm still catching up on the news from Milan last week, but one thing is clear: Fashion houses killed it at <a href="http://www.thewellappointedcatwalk.com/search?q=salone+del+mobile" target="_blank">Salone del Mobile</a>. Between the <a href="http://www.designboom.com/design/marni-ballhaus-colombia-cumbia-milan-design-week-04-15-2016/" target="_blank">Marni Ballhaus Colombian collection</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Berluti/posts/728035547338386" target="_blank">Berluti's dressing stations</a>, and inspiring presentations by <a href="http://www.wmagazine.com/culture/art-and-design/2016/04/nike-exhibition-lindsey-adelman-salone-del-mobile-milan-design-week/photos/" target="_blank">Nike</a>, <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/luxury/mens-style/105637/if-the-shoe-fits-tods-at-salone-del-mobile.html" target="_blank">Tod's</a> and <a href="http://www.cosstores.com/cosxsoufujimoto/salone-del-mobile-2016/" target="_blank">COS</a>, there were plenty of fashion/design crossovers to go around. My favorite? The <a href="http://www.loewe.com/eu_en/loewe-projects/marquetry-in-leather.html" target="_blank">Marquetry in Leather collection by Lowe</a> with its modern take on traditional craft.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Led by Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson, the collection involved laying colorful fragments of leather onto furniture for a painterly effect with varying textures. This painstaking marquetry process is informed by traditional bookbinding and woodworking and can be seen in the video below. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
For the collection, Loewe has recreated silk patterns from its archives in leather, adding a recurrent carp motif adapted from a set of centuries-old Japanese wood screens. Pieces include wardrobes, chairs, tables, lamps and an impossibly beautiful screen, in addition to cigar boxes, leather pouches and notebooks.</center>

Just two days into <a href="https://www.salonemilano.it/en/" target="_blank">Salone del Mobile 2016</a>, and colored glass is already proving to be a major trend at Milan's annual orgy of furniture and home design. Some of the design world's superstars are making their marks with the material, as is a fellow Israeli who's won my heart with her luminescent tables.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>As the founder of London-based <a href="http://kukkastudio.co.uk/" target="_blank">Kukka Studio</a>, Israeli/British designer Rona Meyuchas-Koblenz is displaying two pieces from her new <a href="http://kukkastudio.squarespace.com/spectra/" target="_blank">Spectra collection</a> at Frame Magazine's <a href="http://events.frameweb.com/index.php" target="_blank">"What's the Matter? Design for a Phygital World" exhibit</a> during Milan Design Week 2016. The two pieces, the ABCD table and the O table, both feature pastel-hued Dichroic glass, a material that appears achingly modern despite its use by the ancient Romans. Offsetting the futuristic glass is reclaimed white quartz, which is found abundantly in nature, reflecting the physical world and timeless design, according to Kukka Studio.<br />
<br />
Leading the charge in Dichroic glass at last year's Salone del Mobile was <a href="http://www.thewellappointedcatwalk.com/search?q=Patricia+Urquiola" target="_blank">Patricia Urquiola</a>, who created the iridescent <a href="http://www.glasitalia.com/prodotti.php?prod=362&grp=tavoli/consolle/scrittoi&nome-prodotto=Shimmer%20tavoli" target="_blank">Shimmer collection</a> for <a href="http://www.glasitalia.com/index.php" target="_blank">Glas Italia</a>. This year, the collection gets an update with a statement-making <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BEIRFqOKfK6/?taken-by=elledecorationuk" target="_blank">dining table</a>.<br />
<br />
Brand new for Urquiola, though, is the <a href="http://www.spaziopontaccio.com/credenza/" target="_blank">Credenza collection</a>, a collaboration with graphic designer <a href="http://www.ledictateur.com/" target="_blank">Federico Pepe</a> for Spazio Pontaccio. Comprised of cabinets, screens and low tables, the collection combines the antique tradition of stained glass with contemporary geometric patterns and furniture designs. The collection is currently on display at Spazio Pontaccio's Milan showroom.<br />

Likewise, the <a href="http://www.thewellappointedcatwalk.com/search?q=campana" target="_blank">Campana Brothers</a> have incorporated colored glass into their <a href="http://bdbarcelona.com/en/product/239" target="_blank">Aquário collection</a> for BD Barcelona Design. On view at BD's Salone del Mobile booth, both a cabinet and low table are made of ash wood or stained pine and feature amorphous views of blue or green colored glass. The shelves within the cabinet are also made of glass, conserving transparency and allowing light to pass through.<br />

I guess I've been on an <a href="http://www.thewellappointedcatwalk.com/2016/03/embroidered-patches-pins-by-macon.html" target="_blank">embroidery kick</a> lately, but this stitching in particular seems to have magical waist-whittling properties. Every girl needs a good one-piece bathing suit, and this little <a href="http://bit.ly/1RNszZK" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">navy and red number by Cynthia Rowley</a> looks about as flattering as flattering can be. The illusion of a slimmer waist comes courtesy of those embroidered dots and their oh-so-strategic placement, while the low scoopneck keeps things classic. The one-piece swimsuit is available in graphic <a href="http://bit.ly/1Xh3avd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">black and white</a>, too.Marissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03594401780956393049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874433120989362064.post-20960664447424413322016-03-30T08:08:00.006-04:002016-03-30T08:08:42.286-04:00Westward Leaning 2016 Campaign by Todd Norwood<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I nearly lost my favorite sunglasses last week, a beloved pair of <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=490971012&pid=uid3504-1747752-72" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Persols</a> I've had for years. I showed up at the seaside restaurant where I'd left them on the table days earlier and was shocked, and even a little disappointed, to get them back.<br />
<br />
Why disappointed? Well, I've been coveting a pair of <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwestwardleaning.com%2F&pid=uid3504-1747752-72" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Westward Leaning</a> sunglasses, with their colorful mirrored lenses, for a while now and saw my lost sunnies as the perfect excuse to indulge. A striking new campaign from the California brand, shot and styled by photographer <a href="http://www.toddnorwood.com/" target="_blank">Todd Norwood</a>, might just push me over the edge.<br />

My obsession with <a href="http://www.thewellappointedcatwalk.com/2015/02/get-look-marble-brass.html" target="_blank">all things</a> <a href="http://www.thewellappointedcatwalk.com/2016/03/mad-for-marble-sneakers.html" target="_blank">marble</a> continues, this time finding its focus on a new trio of minimalist vases designed by <a href="http://www.morenoratti.com/" target="_blank">Moreno Ratti</a> for <a href="http://www.marmotrilogy.com/" target="_blank">Marmo Trilogy</a>. Crafted in Carrara marble and blocks of resin, <a href="http://www.morenoratti.com/product.php?id_product=81&name=Collezione%20Sospesa_" target="_blank">Collezione Sospesa</a> would perfectly offset showy springtime blooms now that the season has arrived.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Ratti is an Italian designer who works almost exclusively in marble. Having been born in the city of Carrara, one could argue that fate left him little choice in the matter.<br />

Collezione Sospesa is a play on the common practice of coating marble in resin to increase its strength before it's cut. By choosing to emphasize the resin material that would normally be cast away, Ratti creates an entirely new form.<br />

Working from home certainly has its perks (sweatpants, puppy snuggles), but no matter how I try, my home office style will never match the likes of this.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://masquespacio.com/" target="_blank">Masquespacio</a> is a multidisciplinary design studio based out of Valencia, Spain, that relied heavily on postmodern and Memphis styles in the recent redesign of its <a href="http://masquespacio.com/masquespacio-branding/" target="_blank">brand image</a> and <a href="http://masquespacio.com/masquespacio-interior-design/" target="_blank">studio</a>. The new brand identity comprises seven on-trend colors, allowing Masquespacio to change its color palette annually and to customize branded stationary for its clients.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Marble, lacquered MDF, and birch and oak plywood make up the studio's interior spaces, where colorful work cubicles are surrounded by airy meeting rooms. A foliage-filled entryway features chairs, stools and tables from Masquespacio's <a href="http://masquespacio.com/toadstool-missana/" target="_blank">Toadstool collection</a>, another Memphis throwback that the firm designed for furniture brand Missana.

This must be what it feels like to shop Mansur Gavriel. The perfect sneakers were within my grasp, checkout complete and credit card payment processed. And, then, the soul-crushing email: "We're sorry. The item you ordered is out of stock." Nooooooo!<br />
<br />
A tad dramatic? Perhaps. But I'd been eyeing <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=507769773&pid=uid3504-1747752-72" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Veja's unisex marble Esplar sneakers</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.2px;">—</span>a collaboration with <a href="http://diapers-and-milk.com/" target="_blank">Diapers and Milk</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.2px;">—</span>for spring. It seemed I'd waited too long to place my order until I finally managed to track down the last pair in my size from a Belgian boutique. Except, of course, I hadn't. Womp, womp!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.veja-store.com/en/" target="_blank">Veja</a>, the eco-friendly French label, has become my go-to sneaker brand ever since I purchased <a href="https://www.storyonline.co.il/english/106HL041167999.html" target="_blank">this comfy gold and black pair</a> last fall. After fawning over the marble Esplars for so long, nothing can replace them in my mind, but it does seem I have a slew of marble sneakers to choose from...<br />

My top choice by far, the sneaker that even comes close to matching my beloved Vejas in style and quality, is <a href="https://axelarigato.com/usd/low-sneaker-20038" target="_blank">Axel Arigato's white low sneaker with its standout marble sole</a> ($185). Who cares that it's made for men? Oh, wait, I do, since the smallest size available is a 39. Big-footed ladies and gentlemen, however, you are in luck!</div>

Between <a href="http://www.earthporm.com/bye-bye-coffins-these-organic-burial-pods-turn-your-loved-ones-into-trees/" target="_blank">organic tree burial pods</a> and a booming funeral concierge business, it seems we have quite the morbid fascination with a beautiful afterlife. Now, pastel-hued, ceramic funerary urns by Mexico City's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MT-Objects-937176543016380" target="_blank">MT Objects</a> make it possible to die as artfully as one lived.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Launched by designers Tony Moxham and Maurcio Paniagua of <a href="http://www.totaldfc.com/" target="_blank">DFC</a>, MT Objects takes its cues from pre-Hispanic forms, with a bit of surrealism thrown in for good measure. In fact, the two spent countless hours in Mexico City's Museum of Anthropology gathering inspiration for their new home design label.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ix5iBSAoo98/VuB0JgmgEoI/AAAAAAAAZcI/W7U_mi_p5uc/s1600/mt_objects_ceamic_urns_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ix5iBSAoo98/VuB0JgmgEoI/AAAAAAAAZcI/W7U_mi_p5uc/s1600/mt_objects_ceamic_urns_02.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The spiked urns, for instance, are inspired by the Ceiba tree and the Mayan belief that the tree's trunk connects the planes of the underworld, the terrestrial realm and the skies. The ball-covered urns are a nod to the Aztecs, who used similar techniques to build complex vessels.<br />
<br />
Yet, it was often the similarities between pre-Hispanic and modern styles<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.2px;">—</span>particularly <a href="http://www.thewellappointedcatwalk.com/2014/04/memphis-milano-1980s-italian-design.html" target="_blank">Memphis design</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.2px;">—</span>that struck Moxham and Paniagua most, informing MT Object's strange mix of ancient and sci-fi-esque.<br />
<br />
The urns are crafted by a Mexico City ceramics collective and are available for purchase at design stores and museum shops in Mexico, as well as at the Pérez Art Museum Miami. A short distance to travel for a beautifully-crafted eternity, really.<br />

So... March came out of absolutely nowhere and, with it, kinda/sorta/almost spring. Wedding season is nigh, and I'm absolutely obsessed with these delicate lace <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.selfridges.com%2FUS%2Fen%2Fwebapp%2Fwcs%2Fstores%2Fservlet%2FFhBrowse%3FfreeText%3Dself-portrait%2Bazaelea%26srch%3DY%26_%24ja%3Dtsid%3A32619%7Cprd%3A202819%26cm_mmc%3DAFFIL-_-AWIN-_-202819-_-0RpXOIXA500%26awc%3D3539_1456832689_5843c66252771a17be0fde68edf0bd08%26utm_source%3DAffiliates%26utm_medium%3D202819%26utm_term%3Dna%26utm_content%3Dna%26utm_campaign%3Dna&pid=uid3504-1747752-72" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Azaelea dresses</a> by British label Self-Portrait for decking out a bevy of bridesmaids. Just imagine a trail of mismatched pastels strolling down the aisle. (I still regret that I wasn't privy to the multi-hued bridesmaid trend <a href="http://www.thewellappointedcatwalk.com/2014/05/mr-mrs-catwalk-get-hitched.html" target="_blank">back in 2013</a>!)<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Self-Portrait's Azaelea dress is priced on the higher end for bridesmaid dresses at $395 (available at <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.selfridges.com%2FUS%2Fen%2Fwebapp%2Fwcs%2Fstores%2Fservlet%2FFhBrowse%3FfreeText%3Dself-portrait%2Bazaelea%26srch%3DY%26_%24ja%3Dtsid%3A32619%7Cprd%3A202819%26cm_mmc%3DAFFIL-_-AWIN-_-202819-_-0RpXOIXA500%26awc%3D3539_1456832689_5843c66252771a17be0fde68edf0bd08%26utm_source%3DAffiliates%26utm_medium%3D202819%26utm_term%3Dna%26utm_content%3Dna%26utm_campaign%3Dna&pid=uid3504-1747752-72" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Selfridges</a>). But, considering this frock isn't meant to be a bridesmaid dress at all, it really is one your lady loves can wear over and over and over again.<br />
<br />

Maison Kitsuné<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.2px;"> </span></span>has settled into its third Japanese outpost, a striking boutique spread across 1,500 square feet and two levels in Tokyo's trendy Daikanyama District. Housing both men's and women's ready-to-wear collections, the wooden post-and-beam construction is a modern take on traditional Japanese design.<br />
<br />
The architecture draws inspiration from Tokyo's iconic Hotel Okura, considered to be the height of 1960s Japanese modernist design, ensconced in natural wood and dramatically backlit with a concealed bamboo forest. The checkered wooden floor of the entryway pays homage to the hotel's lobby.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Maison Kitsuné co-founders and creative director Gildas Loaec and Masaya Kuroki teamed up on the project with local artisans to showcase traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The store's floating staircase is made from wood planks sourced from Japan's Kansai region, tables and other fixtures display precious urushi lacquer work, and a custom-made byobu wood screen divides the space upstairs.<br />
<br />
In celebration of the new boutique, Maison Kitsuné has also introduced its "Daikanyama" capsule collection available exclusively at (where else?) Maison Kitsuné Daikanyama. Similarly inspired by retro elements of the Hotel Okura, like hexagonal pendant lamps and geometric latticework, the collection includes a sweatshirt, t-shirt, jacket and tote bag.<br />

Filled with architectural photos that are more about shape and form than any building as a whole, the photos range from minimalist studies in black and white to vibrant technicolor dreams. Take a look...<br />

Using discarded wool scraps from her family's Buenos Aires carpet factory, artist <a href="http://alexkeha.com/" target="_blank">Alexandra Kehayoglou</a> hand tufts carpets worthy of a gallery wall. Yet her textured grasslands, glaciers, forests and desert isles<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.2px;">—</span>all inspired by her native Argentina<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.2px;">—</span>function just fine on the living room floor.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>While some of Kehayoglou's creations lay on the ground like traditional throw rugs, others climb the heights of walls. Her tufting talents even extend to furniture.<br />

These photos will most definitely be clogging up your Pinterest feed in the coming days because, well, see for yourself! As the first African American principal dancer at New York's American Ballet Theatre (as if you didn't already know), Misty Copeland opens up to <a href="http://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/art-books-music/a14055/misty-copeland-degas-0316" target="_blank"><i>Harper's Bazaar</i></a> in in the March edition while channeling iconic artwork by Edgar Degas ahead of an exhibit at MoMA.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>What's so brilliant about the photo shoot isn't just Copeland's graceful posing or the couture costuming. It's the contrast between the most ubiquitous representation of ballerinas in the art world and Copeland herself, a ballerina who never should have "made it" according to all popular convention. Even more interesting is the fact that Degas was known not for depicting the glamour of stage productions, but for depicting the pain of training, a thread all too relevant to Copeland's narrative.<br />
<br />
Of course, on the surface, you're still left with a stunning dancer, dazzling art, and costuming by the likes of McQueen and Valentino.<br />

I took a little break last week to visit friends and family in Boston, but I'm back with something extra special for Valentine's Day. Whether you're dropping hints to your SO or want to treat yourself to something extra special this year, <a href="http://bairdandbairdonline.com/collections/top-handle/products/copy-of-the-shelby-ii" target="_blank">Baird & Baird's Shelby II</a> is the ultimate luxury gift. Handcrafted in red crocodile with 24k gold-plated hardware on a whitetail deer handle, this baby will run you $1,895 (eek!), but it sure is a beauty.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The Houston-based exotic skins handbag line is designed by Minnie Baird and seems to be available online exclusively at <a href="http://bairdandbairdonline.com/" target="_blank">Baird & Baird's website</a>, where you can view the full collection.Marissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03594401780956393049noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874433120989362064.post-9814373193933569312016-01-28T18:17:00.000-05:002016-01-28T18:17:29.033-05:00Every Final Look from Spring 2016 Couture Week<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

As I always say, couture is about fantasy, and the final look of any show is often the most fantastical. You all seemed to love it so when I rounded up the <a href="http://www.thewellappointedcatwalk.com/2015/01/every-final-look-from-spring-2015.html" target="_blank">final looks of last spring's couture presentations</a>, so I'm thinking I should make this a regular thing, no?<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Spring 2016 Couture season wrapped up in Paris today, with very few designers opting for the traditional white wedding gown as a final look. Instead, lucky attendees were treated to a face-obscuring cubist costume courtesy of Viktor & Rolf and a shadowy display of stringed lights from Yiqing Ying, to name just two.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Below, you'll find the final looks from all of the members of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, plus final looks from the best-known designers presenting this season. Oh, and it's all in alphabetical order for my fellow type As. Enjoy!<br />
