All Hearts for Wren

July 12, 2011

I’m lusting over the new summer 11′ collection from Wren. The style is so effortlessly pretty and drapes beautifully on their model. The looks feature tie dyed and batiked fabrics that look so soft and oh so comfortable! I love feminine, flowy clothing and Wren now has a new fan. Next time you see me, I just may be wearing one of these looks. Here’s to hoping that I will be!

I just discovered this amazing website, Bookhou.com! This site features artists, John Booth and Arounna Khounnoraj and their beautiful work. I LOVE their work so much I have to share them with you as our new fav designers in our ‘Designers to Watch’ monthly feature.

Both Booth and Khounnoraj specialize in natural handmade materials and small production pieces, and feature their many creative sides through textiles, art, letterpress, and woodwork. I seriously can’t find one piece in their collection that I don’t absolutely LOVE!  All of their work is so beautiful and feels so pure, I just can’t get enough of it!

Booth and Khounnoraj opened a brick and mortar shop in Toronto in 2008. The shop looks amazing! Hope to make a trip up to Toronto some day soon!

Designers to Watch; Michael Aram

January 18, 2010

Our next set of the series ‘Designers to Watch’ features an amazing designer by the name of Michael Aram. He is an American born artist who studied art in New York and later traveled to India to find the inspiration for his beautiful handmade designs of today. He works primarily in metals where no two pieces are exactly the same. He creates everything from tables to lighting to candles, and has something for everyone to enjoy. His pieces are spiritual and personalized, two concepts we always want our home to embody for our own well-being.

We know you will love his pieces and find a connection between nature and style. We personally love his enchanted forest collection that ranges from polished aluminum lamps to vases to side tables, as well as his set of beautiful scented candles. Check out some of our favorite pieces from his work in our image gallery below!
