Berry Red is my new favourite shop. Although I cannot technically buy anything, since they only deliver to UK addresses, I think I can find ways to get their things. They stock items in bright colours that bring springtime to mind and fields of flowers minus the allergies and hay fever.
There is nothing like a Debbie Harry paper doll for little girls -and boys- to help them know good taste. I love Mel is an online shop that started out when Mel Simone Elliott had her heart broken by her boyfriend. Paper dolls are just one of the many products she designs and sells. If you don’t even know who Debbie Harry is, then you can get her Lady Gaga doll. However, in order to make an informed decision, go here first.

I wish I was in Paris right now. Or at least, sometime until January 24. Because that’s when the retrospective of Michael Kenna’s photography is on view at the Bibliotheque Nationale. My friend Blondie alerted me to it, and I hope she gets to see the exhibition since she has been living there this past year. My first ever post on this blog was about him, he is my favourite photographer and I consider him a poet too. To me, he is Zen. When I look at his pictures, the world takes on a new meaning, or a meaning that is as old as the world itself. Look at the virtual exhibition here and see Kenna’s website here. Finally, there’s a nice interview here.

Excuse the sentimentality, but I have left a big chunk of my soul in Edinburgh, so I am always moved by pictures of it. Here’s one. “A damp, dark idiotaro” by the ThreeFingeredlord
“Rain in Cracow” by Quizz
By FanFan ??
“pumpkin parade” by CharmingLisa
“Comfort Me With Apples” by IrenaS, a truly magnificent flickr stream you must check
To tut my own horn, here’s one of mine. That’s my stream here.

I came across the work of this very talented artist, Eva Vasquez Dibujos. Isn’t her work wonderful? This is her flickr stream, and here is something about her on Illustration Friday, the original site where I found out about her.

Architectural Digest runs a feature on celebrities’ favorite rooms and objects. My favourite is Marilyn Monroe’s, who, according to the article, always kept modest apartments, filled with books and records. She had said:
“I’m not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful.” See the whole feature here.
“Views of Paris” Black and White wallpaper by Schumacher.That’s not new, it’s about one year old, but a. I love it and b. I think it’s a classic.
“The Kids“: Amazing photography-illustration by Martine Roch. Go through her Flickr stream, she has some gorgeous stuff.
The Solera Club: An amazing looking cocktail created by Jeff Morgenthaler. I suspect it tastes great too since it has sherry. I am definitely going to try and recreate it at home.Perfect for autumn.
A new book by Gore Vidal (Gore Vidal: Snapshots in History’s Glare) that is meant to be a visual memoir, comes to prove that among other things he is a style icon too. (via the NY Times)
That I love these photos by vladstudio is an understatement. I adore them. These are wooden windows in Russia. The atmosphere is just so imposing. They remind me of the smells, the light and the colours in the Russian Church that I sometimes go to, in Athens. And some of the old ladies there, they look like once, they had windows like those, too. (via English Russia)
