patternity.

where have i been and why have i never heard of patternity, the London based design studio specialising in the discovery & application of pattern within the Fashion, Interior & Luxury fields??

Patternity consists of three core parts; an image RESOURCE featuring an archive of constantly updated patterned finds from around the world, an East London based studio where they work on a range of products, projects, designs, collaborations & consultations across the creative industries & also a curated online SHOP selling limited edition & one off patterned pieces.  Through these three areas they aim to encourage people to see, enjoy & be inspired by the patterned world around them.



check them out, they have some pretty amazing stuff, and a great resource feed of unconventional pattern inspiration.

so i was browsing pinterest the other night and i came across this beautiful shot of a waterfall and glowing blue-green swimming hole. i automatically assume it is in some super exotic location, but immediately repin it anyway. i decide to check out where the image is from and discover that it is actually in arizona at the base of the grand canyon! i immediately start plotting to visit this place and find out you must first hike 10 miles in the sun down to the bottom (or you can charter a helicopter or ride a donkey) and then you are free to swim in the pool and then spend the night in the canyon or hike ten miles back out. hmmm. so i go tell the boy "we have to go to this place its amazing! la la la" and he asks to see the picture, so I show him and he is like, "oh my nephew when there when he was in arizona" haha for some reason this annoyed me because i always like being the first to visit a place and then go tell everyone about it but nonetheless he agreed and now we are going :)

gypset+pulpartbook.

i just ordered these two books, and if you love all things bohemian and 1970s you must too! i absolutely cannot wait for them to arrive in my little mailbox.

Gypset Style: Jetset + Gypsy = Gypset, is about an emberging group of artists, musicians, fashion designers, surfers, and bon vivants– who lead semi-nomadic, unconventional lives. order here or visit the website here.



the Pulp Art Book– “Neil Krug’s stylized photos of his girlfriend [now wife], the model Joni Harbeck, were taken with Polaroid film years past its sell-by date. They have the kind of grainy, sun-scorched feel of a Sergio Leone spaghetti western. And ever since the couple began posting the photos on Flickr early this year, they’ve drawn a blaze of attention.” - The New York Times.
