New Blog Address
I've switched, well...consolidated, my blogs. No more blogger...hooray! Now it's all typepad all the time.

SEEING DOUBLE
Absolutely LOVING this print by Leesa Leva who I found while experimenting with pimping myself on a VIRB, a social networking site. Well, as one of my favorite male muses, Jack White, says 'you can't be a pimp and a prostitute, too.' So, I don't think I'm cut out for …

I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU.
Anyone who knows me knows these sneakers. These have been my sneakers for nearly 4 years now. When I first saw them, I thought they were the ugliest things I had ever laid eyes on, and instantly felt the need to just try them on to be sure.
It turns out that these …
COMING OUT COMING UP
I'm officially coming out of the closet. I've launched a line of paper products. While many, ok some, ok, one or two? of you may remember my former venture into paper products, this time it's for real. I swear. So...without further ado...I give you SusyJack*. Which …
Chic Click
Well, normally I really don't pay *too* much attention to the Fashion Weeks around the world...but one day a couple of weeks ago, I just happened upon a slideshow of some shows from Milan Spring 08...and so I had to look through them...all 357 of them. Well, there …
R, S, T, L, N, E
Trend alert! Customized, Personalized letters, just for you. This goes way beyond "HIS" and "HERS" towels. I love these scrimshaw-style rings and awesome (yes, awesome, I still use that word) selection of actual vintage letters names and personalized zodiac signs from …
GIMME FRINGE
Ok, so...here's what you do. You get a really big piece of Jersey Knit Material in a color that you like. Make sure it's big. You get a ruler and a sort of dull pencil. You draw long, parallel lines on a section of the fabric and cut along them with a sharp pair of …
La Cranque
Ok, so please tell me why South Korea gets a Swear store, and NYC does not? Please tell me one good reason. I've been posting about Swear since I started this blog, and I feel I deserve a store in my area. Seriously, having Urban Outfitters carry a couple of pairs …
Desira Desira
These sketches/prints by Desira Pesta are my latest visual treat. I really, really love them...especially the unfinished, scratched on a wood tabletop at a bar quality they have. As a big Diane Arbus/Nan Goldin fan, the re-interpretation of some of these portraitss …
YOURS, TRULY
Just so you know. You can thank my mom for this information. I had no idea WonderWoman was into terrycloth!
GOD OF SMALL THINGS
Much like gum, I feel that the pencil is overlooked as a chance to accessorize. Seriously, if I had my pick, would I be a Criterium, a Venus, an Escolar? An Executive? Not sure. But they all sound so....1962 Desk Set. Yep. Loving that.
Not to mention the typography …
TRUE FINDS
Y'know what I love about Etsy? I love that it's full of stuff you just wouldn't find anywhere except maybe in the Dover Street Market. But it costs less.
I'm considering doing a holiday shopping guide. But I'm not sure. I basically am hungover, and not sure about …
INSIDE MIND
Hello, and happy Black Friday all. I know I've posted about Essimar before, but not like this. If you want to loosen up your mind a little, then take a ramble through her
MEZMERIZED
Can someone pleeeeaaase translate this for me?
Because I need one of these. It's funny, I spend lots of time contemplating lots of visual styles...then, I come across something as simple as a bunch of wood in a simple, flat, geometric design, and I'm floored. (No pun …
PLUNGING NECKLINES
Yes, it's true... I posted about incredible jewelry yesterday...but I had to follow up with another when I found Rust Belt at the new 'designer direct' shopping siteSupermarket.
I'm completely smitten by the textures and colors combining in this work. I love the way …
CLEVER GIRL
If you're not familliar with the work of Elizabeth Yarborough, then go take a peek right now.
What I truly adore about Elizabeth Yarborough's design is her love of the quality of objects, and her abilty to not just transform them, but to celebrate them for their BEST …
2008 Color Forecast and New Trend Ether
Inspiring colors for early (still cold) Spring to Summer 2008.
Drawing on India-themed colors...think spices and saris...
bright yellow gold and filigree.
BUT...take it into a country weekend beatnik palette with truly acidic greens, bright red matte lips and …
Totally Rand
Shame on me!
I haven't posted in a long time. Shame. Shame.
It's mainly b/c I've been working on this stuff and on this stuff. And I've been basically slammed.
Ok, now that's done, feast your eyes on the incredibly comforting work of gobuggy, who I just …
THE NEW DEAL
So...when I was interviewed for the Etsy Storque last week, one of the questions that was asked was 'do you have any new features planned for spiralbound_?"
I thought about it...and this is what happened. The New Deal: Each week, I'm going to try to find 2 wonderful …
ELKE THE OBSCURE.
Ohhhh, wow. I really love Elke Kramer's little pouches for her jewelry...more of which is available at Modamuse, the fantastic AU and NZ online boutique...perhaps even more than the jewelry itself. They make for an absolutely wonderful experience with an independent …
