east-meets-west minimalism

my site

the look
dressy utilitarian

inspiration
furniture (especially chairs from the 50s and 60s), uniforms, repeating patterns, menswear, Oscar Niemeyer, traditional Japanese architecture, the Rimpa School and Ogata Korin's 8-Point Bridge, Matisse, bromeliads, succulents and other waxy flora

particular loves
bamboo, coral, moss, woodgrain, silhouettes & other cut-outs, plastic, low-resolution images, the photo copier, off-registration prints, Max Ernst's Lunar Asparagus, NYC fire call boxes that look like Kannon, Fauvist color sense, the Noguchi Museum, pretty much all of Abstract Expressionism

magazines of current interest
Domino, Elle Decor (British), ARTnews, Art in America, Wallpaper

favorite heel style
the wedge, but a sleek modern interpretation

second favorite
the stiletto

current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness of their styles.

a note to nyc market shoppers



If you really wanted that Black Eyelet Tunic for yourself while shopping at the White Rabbit Lounge & Shop this past December, but felt too guilty because you had to buy presents, well today is your lucky day! We just put a new SALE page on the site (a new feature), and that same Tunic that looked so nice on you is now online, waiting for you to add it to your Shopping Bag! And why not use the Promo Code card I gave you for an extra 10% off too! Who is to say no? Not me. The same goes for all who loved the Fur Hoodie. 'Tis still the season to stay warm and fashionable. So why not treat yourself to something cuddly and cute with some of your new-found riches? 'Tis online and 'tis on sale!

I think we'll be adding a few more good deals to the Sale page soon, so stay tuned. All of these pieces are in small quantity, so if you like it, snap it up right away. We are expecting some heavy traffic on the site this Friday. I will tell you why a little later. :-)
