Fashion Love: Elissa McGowan

Another amazing collection from our friends down under!It's wonderful to discover the beautiful collection by Australian designer Elissa McGowan. Combining beautiful fabrics and exquisite tailoring, she's managed to balance structured tailoring with easy flowing sillouhettes. After graduating from the Fashion Design Studio in Sydney, she launched her first collection in 2013. Fusing her interest in fabrication and textile development, she explores surface techniques and custom fabric development working with European textile mills.

I may not wear a lot of blazers, but I'm coveting the light muted pieces in her collection. I've been drawn to the black and white combinations, but there's something delightful when seeing accents of coral and light dusty pinks getting us ready for our spring season.

Design Love: Hunting and Narud

What cool jars! The first thought that came to mind when I first saw the apex tables by London-based design studio, Hunting and Narud.  The Norwegian-born design duo Amy Hunting and Oscar joined forces to design objects and spaces that have a strong spatial impact. I love how they use of a variety materials in their line of furniture and objects.  The design studio creates products in a range of different materials featuring textiles, glass, wood or metal.

New Arrivals from Forma Jewelry

We love showcasing under the radar lines and the works of hard to find designers. Designed and created by Galit Barak, we're happy to introduce Forma, a collection of modern minimalist jewelry designs. I've been looking for the perfect drop or dangling earrings and came across her simple yet elegant designs. Inspired by nature urban landscapes and mechanisms, she crafts jewelry that integrates bold and rustic forms with clean and minimal elements. All jewelry is hand made in Israel in excellent craftsmanship, meticulously designed with attention to details. Oxidized silver jewelry pieces have been on our radar for some time and love how they look with Naoko Ogawa's necklaces. They're simple yet with unexpected details to elevate your modern wardrobe.

Coats, coats, and more coats!

Happy New Year!Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I spent some time up north over the holidays for a little getaway vacation. It was a little chilly (ok for a Southern Cal girl!) and made me want to invest in a great coat. It may not be coat weather here in San Diego right now since it's warmed up again, but just can't resist adding these beautiful coats in my closet wishlist. I'm especially loving the light grey palette spotted in my 2 favorite style blogs FIGTNY and My Dubio. Of course there's also the classic camel and most of the pieces are on sale... so hard to choose!
