Note to Self

Girl Crush

I've been slacking, I know. But it's justified. On top of the 9-7 loveliness that is my full-time job, this insane person (me) decided to take on a gigantic freelance project for a very driven, talented and generally awesome friend of mine (more on that later). And basically, for the past few weeks my brain was not suited to throw creativity anywhere else. Sorry, blog.

But I do always take notice of some good lunchtime reading, and this qualifies: Illustrator Caitlin McGauley is featured today on Domino (which is also the magazine she so artfully illustrates). Need I say more? Read the full story here.

Helena Wurzel

Are you following Kate Spade Saturday? They've been blowing up my inbox with emails, which would normally be a bad thing, but these are so beautiful! Several feature sunny, summery paintings by Helena Wurzel, a neo-Alex-Katz-esque artist who captures lovely female-centric moments. Don't they just make you smile? Read an interview with her here, and browse her portfolio here.

Rebecca Atwood

 

Say hello to my new favorite textile designer, Rebecca Atwood. This RISD grad (and sister of Grace) is making a beautiful statement with her carefully crafted pieces, all handmade here in New York. Better still, proceeds from each sale benefit Aid to Artisans. Browse and shop now.

Congrats, Rebecca!
