night cruising

The other night I couldn't sleep so I was browsing a bunch of japanese online shops and I came across these headpieces by Suso Akiko



I am soo obsessed with these now. They're interesting but simple enough to wear with tee and jeans and I like that they look so light and breezy because a lot of headdresses of this kind tend to look too extravagant for everyday wear? The curly woven ones are nice but I love the tribal print too, I'm having a hard time choosing which one to get...

Anyway I went to Suso Akiko's website and found lots of great images from her previous exhibitions (Suso Akiko is a Japanese hat designer and illustrator)





What a great little place for a hat exhibition





































Really love the way her hats are displayed in some of these exhibitions.


And here are just a few more pretty things I found

Astier de Villatte vase (I like a lot of their ceramics) and Lyndie Dourthe venus flytrap brooch





Keita Takano paintings



Bunny sculptures by Viou Blot, that flat butt is so cute




and last but not least, Juco tabi laceup flats

ciao!

if you got it, good, flaunt it

I learned of Joseph Cornell (American artist and one of the pioneers of assemblage) through a tv show about a year ago and I remember wondering and wondering what
might have inspired a door-to-door salesman to start collecting stuff and putting it in a box. When you think about it, displaying objects in a box is kind of a childish form of self-expression, but then Cornell's boxes strike me as really sad and haunting and not cute or endearing at all. There's something taxidermic about them...but they're so beautiful.
