Danny Roberts of Igor + Andre is one of my favorite illustrators of late. I really like the way he collaborates with other designer, artists, bloggers and creatives while also mixing up the media he uses to accomplish his interesting, and stylistic work.
The Colorful & Lyrical Drawings of Daria Jabenko
Daria Jabenko is a Canadian freelance illustrator. It’s clear in her work that drawing is a world of dreams combined with the beauty of every day life. She reminds us all of the simple joy of what surrounds us in our own lives in seemingly ordinary moments.
Shoe Crush – Fall 2011 Free People Boots!
I’m crazy for these Free People boots. The top left are my particular fav’s and they also come in a gunmetal black that completely rock! Who says engineer boots aren’t sexy?
I’ve officially added these to the winter wish list!
A Perfect Towel & Driftwood Rack, Perfect Pick #1
As a follow-up to my Blissful Bathing Post, here’s the very first of 14 “Perfect Picks” to creating your own personal bath oasis: This post is all about the perfect towel and a spectacular place to hang it.
If your going for luxury AND style, I love Orla Kiely’s fresh, geometric bath sheets shown above. Her patterns are so modern and fun, they’re great for adding some energy and life to any bath room.
For luxury with a more subtle style, Macy’s Luxury Hotel Collection is a perfect choice. These towels are excessively oversized to cover every inch of your body, dangerously soft and fluffy to resemble a heavenly cloud-like substance, and come in a plethora of visually appealing colors to mix and match with your bathroom motif easily.
For about half the price of the Hotel Collection, a close second is Fieldcrest’s Towel Sets at Target:. I’m a sucker for the ultra plush, super spongey Fieldcrest Towels. I have a bunch of these but I should warn you, these tend to pull so I always keep a set in the bathroom as decoration while all the ones we use are hidden in the linen closet. If the threads don’t bother you, they’re a good option for the price and feel.
Along with the towels, I thought it would be fun to add something sweet and unique to this post… a Reclaimed Wood Towel Rack to hang your new towels on. Is there anything that doesn’t look good as reclaimed wood? I have yet to find it. If you’re not handy or have money to burn, I love these one-of-a-kind racks by Bricheese on Etsy. They have some very pretty and affordable pieces plus some great ideas if you’ve got a wood shop at home!
