Just for Little Birds

This is the invite that I designed for Tavin's second reading Series "Little Birds."
You should all roll through, by the way, it should be pretty great.

Just for Spring cleaning

Happy Monday all. It's especially happy for me as I am my last day of the master cleanse a 10-day fast to cleanse out the system whereby you only drink lemonade (with maple syrup and cayanne pepper) and mint tea (I decided to do 8 days this time around).  I truly miss the feeling of having food in my mouth, and chewing, and tasting diverse flavors-- but besides that I feel great.  I feel so empowered knowing that I am stronger than my cravings and my habits. What's funny is that I have been carrying on as usual in my work life, but I have noticed that the cleanse has influenced my work.  Above, a pattern that I designed for haircare line Seva. Only after I designed it did I realize that the pattern (which includes ingredients from the shampoo) also looks just like the ingredients to the only thing I have been ingesting in the last week-lemons water and mint. So funny.
Now that my body is all clean...my house is next! Since the springtime is almost upon us, are any of you getting ready to do any spring cleaning?

Just for March Cravings

My faves from Toast's new spring collection.  Plus sumptuous pillows and blankets from HAY. 
March is my birthday month (hint hint...)

Just for geometrics

I'm having a love affair with tangrams right now-- so it's no wonder I fell in love with Mary Meyer clothing (who, by the way, is having a sale as we speak).

Just for Vogue Italia's "Vogue Black"!

Italian Vogue has gone all progressive on us! I just read on Fly (who is contributing to the fancy new blog) That Vogue Italia Online now has Vogue Black and Vogue Curvy.  I couldn't be more Vogue Giddy right now.  Grande Vogue Italia mi siento molto fiera!! I can say after having lived in Italia for seven years that this is a HUGE step.
Afro images (besides the one of my afro) are via the new Vogue Black! e vai!

Just for floors and flora

Just decorating my imaginary new home..

With all of this good stuff from ABC Home.  Got to spend a couple of hours drooling here while I was in New York. All of this furniture re-upholstered in fabrics from Uzbekistan and Central Asia have me searching for my upholstery needle.
