Black sea

Back when my mom worked part time, I used to watch All My Children with my mom during lunch.  One of the characters–Palmer I think it was–had a cool wood-paneled library.  He also had a huge globe that was actually a bar; it opened up at the equator.  That was the coolest thing EVAR, next to the hidden passageways in Adam’s house.  I don’t really want a globe-bar nowadays (though that would be sweet), but I love the look of black globes.  Every so often one of the antique stores near my house has one in the window.  (Image from Apartment Therapy)

DIY Lamp?

Anthropologie is advertising a lamp made out of cups and saucers.  As the only way I could afford something like it is to DIY it, I’m wondering how hard it would be to make something inspired by this for myself–do you need a special drill bit for ceramic?  I would think it might shatter…I’ll have to ask around.

Dansko Ingrid white nursing clog

A few years ago, Lucky magazine featured a teeny, tiny picture of some BYT at a party wearing all black clothes and white nursing clogs.  The image has always stayed in my mind.  I wish I was cool enough to pull off the look.  If I had $100 to drop on artsy shoes, these old-skool white nursing clogs would be my purchase of choice.

Dansko clogs can be found here.

Viktor & Rolf PreFall 2010

Even though there is no way in h-e-double-hockey-sticks I could actually wear these looks (let alone afford them), Viktor & Rolf’s Pre-Fall 2010 collection leaves me in awe.  If my 12-year-old self could pick my current working-woman wardrobe, she’d pick this.  It’s dark with modern sensibilities, yet it picks up a sense of 1940s drama.  I bet there’s a whip in that purse. 

The Dutch team never disappoints.  I’m ready to start adding contrasting piping and mutton sleeves to everything I own…

Lela Rose’s Resort collection has a lot of great detailing with some beautiful basic colors.  The white babydollish dress could work for a summer casual wedding, and the red dress’s sleeves are reminscent of a Burda pattern I love.
