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.

brooklyn is lousy with markets















I love a good market. And lucky for me, Brooklyn is becoming wall-to-wall with markets. Well practically. And where there isn't an indie designer market or a flea market or a locally-made food market or a night bazaar with indie designers, fleas and locally-made food, there's a hand-painted mural advertising another one in Manhattan. A Holiday Pop-Up totally counts as a market. Today was the last day of Smorgasburg. I I hope more vendors showed up over the course of the day. We were out pretty early. And it was pretty darn cold today. Here are some pertinent links. Photos from top:


  1. Smorgasburg mugs and totes! Gotta love market branding. 
  2. Smorgasburg, Williamsburg ends today for the season. Because it's darn cold.
  3. Artists & Fleas, Williamsburg. The original market the neighborhood, and they just made their space twice as wide (debuted Nov 1). They also have locations in Chelsea Market and LA.
  4. The Market NYC originated in NoLita. One month ago they opened a second location in Williamsburg, in the cooperative space near Spoonbill and Sugartown
  5. The Market NYC
  6. Tictail started online and added a market later. They're a Swedish company. I am totally checking out their Holiday Pop-Up on 90 Orchard Street. 
  7. Smorgasburg on a warmer day. Pizza Moto is my utter favorite.
