It's feeling like spring already here in Atlanta and I can't wait to break out the sandals and skirts this weekend when it's in the 70s. My favorite model Chanel Iman schools us on how to mix prints for the spring in this fab spread for Vogue Brazil.

5 nor black, nor white

Some brands know the value of having an innovative website to present your product line to the masses. Others take it a step further and create an online store front that jumps out of your screen! That's exactly what Bombay based designer duo Amrit Kumar and Mriga Kapadiya did with their website for NorBlack NorWhite; a line full of fun vintage-inspired pieces that pop with color & pattern.

How cute is this website!? You scroll to the right to move through train cars featuring different looks.







And I love every single piece in the collection too. Closer looks below...






On this snowy day, this collection makes me long for summer! to see the full website and more fashion, check out norblacknorwhite.com.

0 suzani love

"Suzani, which means needlework in Persian, is the name given to large, embroidered textiles from Central Asia that were used as hangings or bed covers. These textiles were made of several panels of cotton or linen cloth that were embroidered with silk thread. To create the piece, the designs were first drawn on the panels in ink by either a family member or a hired professional. Several women in the family would then embroider different panels, and after the embroidery was complete, the panels would be sewn together to form the finished cloth.

Suzani were made in cities and towns in Central Asia; the different motifs on the textiles indicate where they were produced. This suzani, with its realistic flowers and embroidered birds, is typical of Nurata, a town in central Uzbekistan. It is made of six cotton panels, five of which are complete loom widths, and is embroidered with chain stitch and couching." - Source

I love these colorful quilts!
Hopefully one day I can have one of my own.
