I’m a huge Kris Chau fan, and for those of you in the Philly area she is having a solo show at Vagabond boutique. The show is entitled “you folks”, all new paintings and new drawings for you and me. The opening is February 8th from 6pm-10pm, and the show will be up until March 2nd. See you there!

I love this bedding from Urban Outfitters.  Black and white prints always make me feel like spring is right around the corner.

I just came across the work of illustrator Chrissie Abbott.  Her various typographies and collages are awesome. Definitely check out her site, and the two page illustration she created for the February issue of Nylon.

I’ve always had a sweet spot for Henrik Vibskov’s amazing knitwear. His fresh use of both simple and complex graphic prints is really extraordinary. While checking out the British online store, No-One, I discovered that he also designs shoes. My favorite pair are these adorable electric blue booties.

Nicolas Ghesquière never ceases to amaze me.  Each collection he creates is pure gold in my view, and his pre-fall line is no exception.  This time around he decide to go prep, and I love this layered sweater and shift mini look.  The brooch definitely makes the outfit, though.  After looking through the whole line, I think these square tipped booties are my favorite creations.  His shoes are always so fresh and inspiring.

Louise Loves… Pete Goldlust

While checking out one of my favorite blogs, It’s Nice That, I stumbled upon the incredible sculptures of Pete Goldlust. His work is really amazing, and I was immediately blown away by his intricately carved crayon sculptures. His installations, which are done in collaboration with painter Julie Hughes, are also pretty cool. To me they look like some sort of extraterrestrial jungle scene.
