ABLE Denim

The Jacket – Merly Wash

One of my favorite brands – fashionABLE – just released its first line of denim! I’m pumped to say the least, because I know ABLE denim will serve to create more job opportunities for women while remaining ethically sound. They’re starting with ten denim staples in a few different washes that are full of comfort, quality, and style and the line will expand from there. I can’t wait to see what’s next because this is an amazing start! (Free shipping today and tomorrow in celebration!)

The Skinny – Angie Wash

 

The Western Shirt – Rita Wash

10 Exceptional Rugs

LRNCE

When is a floor rug more than a floor rug? When it’s a work of art that happens to be underfoot! Today’s textile artisans are doing an incredible job of taking one of the world’s oldest professions and making it their own, whether it’s sticking to age-old techniques or developing modern designs. These ten rugs are real stunners!

Claire Sherman

 

It’s all about tones in the paintings of Claire Sherman. I love the way the New York-based artist uses thick swaths of oil paint on canvas to create outdoor landscapes teeming with unseen energy and life. Claire’s use and understanding of color is just next level.

Virginie Morgand

 

I don’t always gravitate towards bright primary colors, but the illustrations of French artist Virginie Morgand have me doing about-face. A good amount of her portfolio revolves around the pool and beach – whether it’s synchronized swimmers, sunbathers, or surfers – and matches that end of summer vibe perfectly.

Self-Watering Vertical Gardens

 

Because I’m forever looking for extra space to add more plants in my home, I love the idea of these self-watering vertical gardens. Matt Rabinovitch has designed two, one that’s seven feet tall and a second that’s eight feet long – you can purchase both in his Etsy shop. A wall of plants as art is something I can definitely get behind!

μcapsmic / A Vision of Cosmos

 

Artist μcapsmic takes the seemingly ordinary – spray paint nozzles – and quite literally reveals another world within. In A Vision of Cosmos a world is explored where the naturally clogged nozzles, untouched by human hands, become small-scale universes in their own right. See the video in its entirety below.

Designer Baking Food Stamps

 

At this point these Designer Baking food stamps are only a concept, but wouldn’t you love to see them realized? The quote “bread and olive” led STUDIOLAV to design this set of stamps made out of solid olive wood, the iconic fabric patterns Pied de Poule and Tweed Herringbone transforming your bread, cookies, and pies into small haute couture baking marvels one stamp at a time.

Laetitia Bica / Common land

 

Laetitia Bica‘s Common land is the culmination of an intense two years of work, both in the studio and during her residency at the Zsenne Art Lab. In a photographic series that feels like two projects rather than one, Bica explores the pre-18th century term ‘common land’, referring to land belonging to one or more persons but on which other individuals – aka ‘commoners’ – enjoyed certain rights of land use. Notice how the individuals are visible yet always covered in some way.
