Spring Fever

Spring-Fever-2013-Design-Crush

Hellooooo, Spring! As much as I love winter, it’s always nice to see buds on the mystery tree in my front yard and the perennials in my flower bed popping up for another year. Later this week the temps are supposed to drop again, spring you’re just so fickle! That means my day-to-day wardrobe will be full of pieces that are great for layering and stripping off, here are a few I’ve got my eye on…

Block Shop

Block-Shop-1-Design-Crush

 

Artist Lily Stockman is lovely in every possible way, and now she’s partnered with her business-minded sister Hopie to create Block Shop. The story behind how this Indian textile company came together is truly inspiring and the scarves are nothing less than stunning. Each one is stamped individually with vegetable-based dyes onto Indian silk-cotton blend fabric. It’s virtually impossible to choose a favorite, but if pressed I’d go with the coral arrows. Well done, ladies!

Forget Me Not

Scarves are one of those things I always think I want to wear more of, until I get ahold of one and have nothing to wear it with. Forget Me Not‘s onto something with their pieces, make a scarf look like a work of art and the outfit gets build around it.
