little hat obsession


These vintage hats are great alternatives to the current over-sized hair accessories trend. (Also a good way to deal with a bad hair day.)

restless things






I am so inspired by this Olivia Jeffries's artwork. The combination of old, delicate book pages, translucent inks, and geometric forms is so lovely.

I like how Olivia explains her work in her profile:

My creative process is continually influenced by my fascination for used paper; I enthuse about working on a surface that has already been given a sense of purpose in a previous incarnation. Letters, books or journals for example are detached from their original role and are combined with imagery drawn from unexpected perceptions of beauty.

I'm really into glamorous vintage stud earrings right now. They remind me of my grandmother's clip-on earring collection I played with when I was little. These are my etsy picks.
