potipoti

As much as I would like to consider my taste to be complex and multi-faceted I often find myself drawn in by the simpler things.  Prints are no exception and although most may consider most prints to be busy and loud these pieces by potipoti just feel neat and tidy to me.  sweet and simple.

Shredded, Pointed, Drapey: TV

I just learned of this label TV via Studded Hearts, one of my fav blogs.  TV is designed by two friends Monika Tywanek and Ingrid Verner out of Melbourne.  Check out the TV website here. There website lists American Rag in Los Angeles as one of the few US stockists, but I was just there and I'm sure I wouldn't/couldn't have missed them.  I did however find an amazing vintage skirt which I promptly snatched up.

Sarah Zins at Unsung

I love visiting Unsung Designer's website because there is always something new to be had.  This sweet little blouse is from the spring 2009 Repurposed Collection by Sarah Zins.  She is a designer working out of San Francisco who crafts from reused remnants and found fabrics.  All of her pieces are handmade and all are eco-sound.

I haven't been to the beach once yet this summer so this necklace I just finished is about as close to the ocean as I have gotten in a while.  One-of-a-kind sea horse necklace available now at garnettjewelry.com. 

Glad About Glads

Here are some of last years Gladiolas from my garden.  There are some new colors blooming in the garden this summer.  I'll probably cut some tomorrow and put them all throughout the house.  I love walking into fresh flowers in every room.
