Take A Trip With Tilda

I love that an actress as commercially successful as Tilda Swinton would still take time to participate in a short fashion film, in this case for Scottish knitwear brand Pringle. The film is shot by Ryan McGinley so it's pretty much a dream team. Watch Tilda explore Scottish ruins in gorgeous full-length gowns, her platinum blonde locks blowing in the gale winds.

North Country

Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howlin' winds.

Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
That's the way I remember her best.

"Girl from the North Country" by Bob Dylan, 1963

bookworms, gin drinkers, slip off your satin slippers, i've been waitin for you

Leigh Batnick is an artist out of NY who inspires me on a regular basis with her terrific blog. Visit her site and you enter a fantastic world. She makes wonderful cards with titles that imply a quirky subtext. She also turns her deliciously wicked hand to tees, totes, and jewelry. I am so glad I already purchased her Ada style cards for Christmas this year and won't be stuck with cards of cute animals in Santa hats. You too can order at her store.

Sew Pretty

I just know sewing would be a pleasure if I had these pretty sewing tools from Maison Sajou.
