::Mode:: - The Portland Collection by Pendleton

148 years of Pendleton revisited by 3 contemporary designers. The collection looks so great, I always loved their collaborations with Opening Ceremony, but I think this one is really beautiful...and I'm going to get their luggage bag asap...

The Portland Collection

::Mode:: - Comme des garçons x Cambridge Satchel

Available at the Dover Street Market

::Illustration:: - paulxjohnson

I found these illustrations on "Skin and Bone" shop on Etsy.
I love their vintage yet futurist look, images of an invented land which I can't date in the past of future. And of course, the presence and use of animal figures, which I'm always drawn to.

November mood by bunnylane featuring wide leather boots

::Illustration:: - Tom Frost

I just discovered Tom Frost, an illustrator based in Bristol and who uses screen printing, acrylic paint, bits of wood, gocco machines, pencils and paper to create beautiful objects and illustrations. I love his vintage looking stamps (the Sea Otter is my favorite), match boxes, and the wooden love birds.

::Shopping:: - iPad cases

I feel the container is becoming even more essential than its content...

::Photo:: - Joni Sternbach

I love everything about these photos, what they show (faces, bodies, surf boards), and what they suggest (California, a life-time passion). I go to the site from time to time, as it appeases me to look at these surfers' serene eyes.

::Music:: The Do - Slippery Slope

The Do returns with a new single, Slippery Slope. I think that with a new red hair, Olivia Merilahti is somewhat a mix of Emmanuelle Seigner and Muriel Moreno.

::Mode:: - Gloves

When I think about gloves, I always picture Grace Kelly stylishly driving through the breathtaking roads of the French Riviera.
