shana faust
if you follow any set of design blogs i'm sure you've heard allll about shana faust already (if not, check out the interview holly had with her over on decor8), but i can't help gush over her stylist work as well. i'm been interning at anthropologie for a little over a month now doing visual work and find what they send for styling ideas very inspiring. it's probably why i've taken an interest in styling lately, and the work of shana faust is equally as inspiring. i especially love the hand drawn elements and bold wall coloring.
* the top of the dress on the left is GORGEOUS.
rich gemmell
school/internship/work/homework/soccer/life has swallowed me whole, but i'm resurfacing for a moment to show you rich gemmell. i love how moody his color palette is. i generally design with more contrast, probably because i'm a bubbly person, but i'd really like to try something like this some time. and the textures are just UH-mazing.

betsey johnson
usually this woman is a bit too tacky for me to handle, but i found the most perfect mix of our styles!
say hello to my new winter coat! it even has a hood! but of course the best part, and the reason why i got it, is because of the heart shaped pieces that hold the toggles.
* i scored it on sale via ruelala
i love you, marimekko
i've found a way to use marimekko fabric in 2 of my studio projects already in my graduate student career, and i definitely don't see there being a stop to this trend. i can't help it they're fabulous. and not only are there amazingly patterned fabrics, but check out their clothing, bags and umbrellas! my birthday is this weekend and i'd like the purple loopy clutch and orange umbrella, thanks :)
* marimekko!
studio luz
Hansy Barraza, of Studio Luz in the South End, Boston, is coming to speak at my school tomorrow so i did a little perusing around their site and fell in love with this banister/partition.

i didn't realize that people actually build themselves tree houses to live in... it's like my childhood dream come true!
