I just came across these photos by Mark Love Joy and I absolutely love them. They have me inspired to  want to create some splatter paint photographs of my own. Perhaps I have finally found a use for all my old nail polish.

Juergen Teller: Woo

wwd.com

SHOW AND TELLER: Juergen Teller’s photographic skills are set to be lauded at an exhibition called “Juergen Teller: Woo” at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London.

Focusing on the last 10 years of his career, the show will feature images from his commercial body of work, including the Marc Jacobs campaign image that featured Victoria Beckham’s legs emerging from a Marc Jacobs shopping bag. There will be intimate family portraits taken in Erlangen, his German home town, and in Suffolk, as well as his celebrity portraits of faces like Björk and Kurt Cobain.

Images of Kate Moss and Lily Cole appear in his editorial oeuvre, and there’s a reading room wallpapered with his pictures.

The exhibition, which opens with a nude triptych of Dame Vivienne Westwood, opens on Wednesday and runs until March 17. -wwd.com

Ahhhh! I love Juergen Teller and I would kill to see this show! The video above is not part of the show, but just a little fun bonus from the 90's. 

Weston Rock Prints

"Professor Richard Weston is not only an eminent academic, he is also "fashion's most unexpected new design star", according to British Vogue. Manipulating and exaggerating images of minerals, fossils and rocks, his collection of truly original pieces will transform even the simplest of looks." -Net-a-Porter

When fashion and rocks collide, I explode with excitement! If you don't know me, here's a little personal tid bit.  I love rocks, preferably shiny and colorful ones, and you can refer to this post  for more rock love. If I had an iPhone or the iPad 2 (so bummed the case doesn't work for the first iPad), these Weston cases are what they would be adorned in. Shop for amazing prints at Weston Earth Images and find the tech accessories and scarves at net-a-porter.

Sylvie's Vintage Inspired Nursery

Is anyone else getting a Virgin Suicides' vibe from this nursery? Pure magic!

 Sylvie's wardrobe, including lots of vintage pieces, make me wish I was a baby again. Older brother, Abraham, has his own incredible wardrobe and I swear he is the best dressed little boy I have ever seen!

Baby Sylvie happily sleeping!

Here is a glimpse into the new world of Sylvia Ruby West, born just this past September. This dreamy nursery was artfully designed, crafted, and created by Sylvie's mommy Allison.  Allison is an artist, hairstylist, and owner of an extensive collection of vintage decor, furniture, and clothing. Going to her house is literally like stepping into the past, and I always love to wander around and check out her ever-growing collection of antique goodies and artwork created by herself and friends. 

What I love most about Sylvie's nursery is how personal it is. Everything in her room was carefully collected, salvaged, and handmade with love.  The walls are covered with artwork created by Mommy and family friends, her wardrobe is filled with vintage pieces collected by Grandma and Auntie, and Mommy and Daddy (a carpenter and musician) brought an old dresser and armoire back to life with playful fruit designs straight out of the 70's.

Baby and family are doing well, and I can't wait to watch Sylvie grow up with her equally adorable big brother Abraham!

P.S. If you need even pics to satisfy your newborn baby girl fix, stay tuned for pics from my friend Rachel's baby shower for her new baby Violet, born last week!
