Lately I’ve been a little homesick for Williamsburg, and when NYLON mag covered Savior Scraps I instantly had to look them up. They are a Brooklyn based artistic collective who create works out of donated scraps of fabric and materials.

Trend or Not? Jazz shoes…

So, I have a burning question for you all. What do we think about these shoes?
I keep seeing them pop up in photoshoots and so many of the cutest girls in Williamsburg are sporting them, but why do I hate the ideas of these pseudo jazz shoes so much??? Is this trend only happening because Kirsten Dust was seen sporting a white pair? What do you think, is this good or bad fashion?

New Amazing Store!!! Required Shopping: Mc&Co

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006
mc&co.jpg
Leo and I were strolling around Williamsburg this weekend doing some holiday shopping when we came across my new favorite shop. Mc&Co is a small new shop located at 57  North 6th Street. It’s a wonderful collection of home and personal objects. Everything has a very warm but pleasantly reserved feeling. It was so refreshing to step into a store full of beautiful things which I had never seen before. These days so many shops carry the same brands, but this store is absolute bliss. This shop was opened in September in by Corinne Gilbert, who is one of the most pleasant shop owners I’ve come across in a while. I advise all of you in the NY area to make the trip out there, I assure you will be as delighted as I am to have found it!

This weekend while participating in the Gift on Grand I met Ann Wood.  I am completely enamored with her beautiful aesthetic and fantastical creations.  I love these boats.  I strongly advise checking out her website to see her amazing handmade birds.  I’m deeply contemplating having some birds custom made for as our wedding cake topper.

Wooden Jewelry…

I’ve been seeing a lot of wood based jewelry happening lately by small designers. Above (and to the left) is an awesome necklace from Made in Tandem. Their pieces are mixtures of precious little trinkets, and exotic pieces of wood. Check out their site here. And if you are in the Williamsburg area on Saturday come down and check their pieces out in person at the ‘Gift on Grand‘. To the right is another example of wooden jewelry, it’s is a ring by Enrique Muthuan. I love the idea, but I hate how his initials are etched in there.

I have always had a soft spot in my heart for anything Inuit inspired. The work of Rachell Sumpter is so adorable. Her style is so consistent from piece to piece; it makes her work feel as though it is torn from a picture book. Her work is also available at the Cinders Gallery.

Artist Alert: Allyson Mellberg

I love Allyson Mellburg’s gruesome work. I love the sweetness of her characters expressions and the softness of her lines. Check out her flickr set for more images. These pieces are also for sale at Cinders Gallery, my favorite gallery in Brooklyn. Check them out on-line, or if you are in NY you must stop in.

Here are some good-bye to Brooklyn graffiti highlights. I’ve moved back to Philly full time to pursue freelance jobs, a flexible schedule, and the start of something amazing and wonderful. This week’s posts are mostly going to be Brooklyn/NY-centric.

Project Runway Streetstyle: Alison Kelly

I spotted ex-project runway cutie Alison Kelly hanging out around Williamsburg over the weekend. I’ve been giggling that on every show she has worn some variation of her crochet top (she wears it in white,black and every variation imaginable). Guess what she was wearing when I saw her on the street? Nothing less than one of her many crochet tops! Shown above is another take on her crochet top, courtesy of Alison’s myspace page.
