I can’t tell you enough how inspired I am by the elegant, fun, and sophisticated style of sisters Phoebe and Annette Stephens who together formed the label Anndra Neen while on a trip to Japan. What better place to be inspired to start something! Annette and Phoebe grew up in Mexico City and now live in New York, and their style could not be a better mix of these places.

I recently came across the beautifully crafted work of Line Sander Johansen via instagram. I absolutely love her line, Line Sander.

For her ss/13 collection titled Replica, she used only “remedies in the home, such as kale, tea, coffee and old inc pens. Just things lying around” as dyes. I love the simplicity of her inspiration books, and the description of the basis of the collection reminds me of the little things I love about traveling
“scraps of material, leftovers, scents and places. A traveler’s belongings. The poesy within a crumbled collar, sleeve or dress. The allure of a woman’s journey. The scraps, the sticks, the stones, – things a traveler carries, blissfully reminding her of the places she visited.”

See her collection here, and check out her work on her blog Little Universes, and pieces I am so into like these amazing tote bags at Anaïse.

Went to visit this amazing shop with my dream team of friends in LA. What a magical place! Full of overwhelmingly beautiful inspiration. Owner Christina Kim has curated such a beautiful gallery-like space in her downtown loft. We all couldn’t help taking a million photos of this super inspiring space.

Things are moving quickly around here. Trying to get better with updating the blog and sharing everything that has been happening lately.

While I’ve been working on my CM line of jewelry that I’ve been wanting to share more of (Starting to make it’s way out into stores now!), I’m also working on a new site!

Until the online shop is ready, my pieces are currently available at Shelter Half in LA and soon to be at LPP’s new storefront opening in SF.

Not so patiently waiting for spring.. Is Europe really freezing and becoming uninhabitable?
Longing for the days when every single outfit doesn’t look exactly the same (layers and layers under my coat..)

Since it’s still very much winter, at least where I live.. Loving these looks and tonal tans from WIWF, and what a beautiful model! I keep seeing her on MNZ too, makes me miss being tan.

Loving these colors for spring. It’s so close you can almost feel it, can’t wait!

I love these pieces from the Anaise lookbook. That Vanessa Bruno blouse is so beautiful!

I love the beautiful simplicity of these bags by Building Block. That large Black Big Business bag and Seasonal Butter are my favorites.

I came across a nice interview with Momo Suzuki of Black Crane on Her Ribbons and Bows. I really love this brand and Momo Suzuki’s style. It’s such a beautiful mix of comfortable pieces that look incredible on. Really wish the black jumpsuit wasn’t sold out.
