ELM : Iceland

My love affair with all things Iceland never ceases. Here are a couple of designs from ELM. Very unique, very sculptural. I will visit this fascinating country someday.

Woven Imagery

I came across the lovely work of A Liason (via mocoloco) and liked it immediately. Created by daughter Katrin (photographer) and mother Anne (textile designer) team. Their pieces show "everyday life which we see but often overlook."

I just adore their skirts! The line also features accessories and home decor.

Fade to Grey

I'm ready for Fall! Living in a climate where it's over 100 degrees for a 100 days straight...I crave the crisp cool air of autumn and a little grey.


I'm noticing a lot of yummy greys in the Fall collections. At Marimekko, their fall line has some beautiful, sublime shades.
