5 artist spotlight: lauren dicioccio

Lauren DiCioccio creates these embroideries over printings of The New York Times. The detailing is amazing and I love the way she uses the colored thread to create the illusion of movement! Check them out.

4 truly modern vintage

"The vintage inspiration behind Boxing Kitten celebrates the the spirit and lives of women who have come before, and the playfulness and vibrancy of each piece captures the women of today and the future" - BK.com
I think that pretty much sums up the awesomeness of this new Spring 2010 Boxing Kitten collection. The clothing, the styling and the photography speak for themselves!
Plotting a way to get myself one of these pieces now...

9 swoon-worthy home

Textile designer Malene Barnett was featured on The Selby last week and I cannot get over how gorgeous her home is. The colors, the light, the artwork, it's all fab! Check it out.









I featured Malene's rug designs last week; if you missed it, you can see them here.

3 artist spotlight: blayne beacham

Sometimes you meet an artist and can immediately feel their talent without even seeing their work. This was the case when I met Blayne Beacham about a month ago. When she spoke about her photography you could just see the passion she had for it right away! She recently revealed some new artistic photography work, so I wanted to share with you all her great shots. Be sure to check out her blog, This Photographer's Life, to see more!

1 rest your feet

If I had this rug in my home, I'd never wear shoes! The color and texture of this hand-tufted New Zealand wool rug would probably make the shoes fall off of my feet as soon as I walked into the room. This perfection was created by Malene B, and you can see more previews of her latest collection on Design In Color.


Another drool worthy Malene B rug

3 elva fields

I discovered this amazing jewelry line on the Mrs. Lilien blog and I cannot get enough of it! Every time I check the website, these one of a kind pieces are sold out. So I'm not sure how much they actually cost, but I can guarantee those that are rocking one around their necks right now paid a pretty penny!
