It’s all about mixing and matching

I am obsessed with the way my friend Sonja mixes her rings — antique, brand new and completely redone.

The top one is an antique given to her by her husband. The diamond band in the middle was a gift to herself.

The bottom one is her wedding ring, which she recently had engraved by Era Design in Vancouver.

Outrageous or not outrageous?

Either way I love the ruffles. Found this bad boy at the vintage mall in Seattle.

Will be getting it altered (so technically this is a “before” shot) but I think I’ll leave the sleeves exactly as they are.

Take a look at the other dress I found that day here.

If and when I need glasses

I’d like a pair like Deiter Rams’ (photo by Abisag Tüllmann).

If and when I need a new piece of furniture, I’d like the chair he designed in 1962 (photos from Vitsoe).

Read an interesting feature on Rams’ influence on Apple here. (Thanks Terry.)

Almost too easy

This was fun so I thought I’d play the random association game with this living room.

Believe it or not, it’s from a house made of dirt and straw. Even though I prefer those made of drywall and hardwood, I do love the coziness of it.

Almost as much as I love this sweater, which would fit beautifully in that scene.

I love a good “after”

Loved this dress when I first got it. Love it even more now that I’ve had it shortened.

The boots are my sister’s. As soon as she left for Thailand (or wherever she is right now) I raided her closet.

Take a look at other “afters” here and here.
