BLOSSOMS

The last of the spring blossoms. Taken on a walk to the grocery store in Vancouver.

SUMMER UPDATE

The summer update is now live in the shop! Super heavy on clutches as well as a new tote and silk tank top perfect for summer adventures. Get in there!!

SUMMER LOVER

After some careful consideration I've decided to pull S&C from four collections a year to two collections a year which means the work I've so far put into Summer will be an 'update' to the Spring 12 collection. Next Monday the shop will be restocked with lots of new clutches - many of which you have been requesting over the last month or so - as well as a few new items that I'm excited to share (Summer Lover tote! Hand dyed silk tank!). And because this is a continuation of the Spring collection my scarves will remain as they are until Fall.
I'm hoping that this new calendar will allow me the right amount of time for all the creative inspiration, research & development and production logistics that go into every season...
Check in on Monday for the update!

MEXICO FILM

palm trees just outside of Oaxaca // piñata feet // roses in V's family home in Mexico City // courtyard installation in Oaxaca // V's family photo wall // close up of mineral springs just outside of Oaxaca


I took a disposable camera with me to Mexico and finally got my film back. A little too late I realized that any shot taken indoors without the flash was severely underexposed so I lost about half my images...

MARKET

A day at the Aberfoyle Antique Market just outside of Guelph. Such a nice way to spend a Sunday...

NATURAL WONDERS

A few last photos from our recent trip to Mexico:


A visit to El Tule - the world's widest known tree. The trunk measures 11 meters in diameter and is estimated to be 2000 years old. 

Mitla - the location of one of the most important ancient Zapotec religious centers at the time of the Spanish conquest. This building housed the high priests and monarchy of the culture and was the location of all religious ceremonies including human sacrifice.


Lastly - Hierve El Agua - mineral springs located high in the hills which after millennia of seeping from the mountains gives the appearance of waterfalls made from stone. 

RORSCHACH

The lovely Los Angeles boutique Myrtle recently released their new look book and we were thrilled to spot our Rorschach silk scarf among the shots. Click here to see more...

WEST COAST BOUND

V got his film back after a year (!!) and I love this photo he took of palm trees reflecting in a pool in Los Angeles. 

Today I'll be flying to Vancouver for a super quick visit - not quite a palm tree destination but nice none the less.
