Etsy Friday: Oh, Leoluca

Now and again, I'll find myself trolling etsy for new vintage shops. Well, today I found one! In her brand new shop Oh, Leoluca, Berlin artist Teresa Hu features quirky European vintage. Also, she is stunning and has a star tattoo. Shop here, my darlings.Source URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2008/05/

Deer Beds

This is a beautiful concept: Katherine Wolkoff followed deer trails in Block Island and photographed deer beds. Apparently, deer press down the vegetation to make a sleeping place where predators won't see them. They never use the same bed twice, but the imprints can last for a few days. Katherine told James Danziger that the experience was incredibly emotional, and she chose to make the prints 40x50 inches, almost life size. Wouldn't these be stunning to see in person?

Sweet Yellow Canary.

Luke Stephenson's 20x200 print is so sweet, no wonder it sold out in two seconds. See more of his funny photography here.Source URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2008/05/

Home Inspiration: Typography Decor

I love seeing type used in cool ways. This Nava calendar looks great in a green kitchen, and Alex and I have the Noa Bembibre calendar, which makes me happy every time I see it. Go, typography!

Automotive Monogamy

This blog has been getting a little girly (sorry, dudes), so here is a stereotypically male post. Italian photographer Matteo Ferrari tracks down men who have been driving the same car for decades. He then recreates the photos taken when they first bought their cars. I love seeing the people both young and old and thinking about how much they must adore their wheels.

Look at all the redheads!

Remember this weighty discussion? Here's a blog all about redheads, with gorgeous portraits by (redhead, of course) Julia Baum. Some say that redheads are going extinct, so now's the times to see them!

Thank you, Swissmiss!

Last night, I went to dinner at the home of Swissmiss (known in the real world as Tina), who is such a lovely, warm person. Her husband is wonderful, too, and their daughter is The Cutest Little Funny Bunny Ever and loved getting her tummy tickled and eating the rice from under our sushi. What a great family!

Home Inspiration: Antlers

Ok, ok, I know antlers peaked years ago and are now officially over. Everyone's sick of plastic antlers, cloth antlers, knit antlers, lucite antlers, chandelier antlers, jewelry antlers--too many antlers! But even after the explosion and backlash, I still love honest-to-goodness actual antlers as art. They add a beautiful natural shape to the wall, and you can display them guilt-free, because deer shed their antlers every year.

What do you think, dear readers? Is this trend timeless or so 2004?

Vogue Does Sex & the City.

I have to admit, I'm embarrassing excited for the Sex & the City movie. Like, crazy excited. It's already sold out for the 30th, so I'm planning to skip out and see it the next afternoon. Look at these incredible shots of Carrie and Big from Vogue's June issue, which envisioned what it would be like for the couple to honeymoon in Manhattan. Carrie's dresses are amazing (oh, that green gown!), and it's so fun to see them galavanting around the city. My only question is, where is everyone else? This city is empty!

The Grammar Police

Speaking of words, these guys are traveling around the United States correcting typos and grammar mistakes on signs and billboards. Double thumbs up; I always have a dorky urge to correct things like "Steak's" and "Dinning Room."Source URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2008/05/

Here's a fun idea: Stick magnetic words to a bath or shower. You could spell things for your family each morning, or leave up inside jokes. (From Anthropologie, via Nibs)Source URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2008/05/

Putnam County Pickers

I was sorting through some old files and ran across this photo from the early 1980s. If you lived near Charleston in the 70's and early 80's, you remember the Putnam County Pickers. This was when they were doing a concert with the Symphony and they were in the studio to get a portrait in tuxedos and (as I often did in those days) at the end of the session I told them to stick their fingers in their noses. Funnily enough, people often did it and then were surprised when I actually took the photo. This one took on special meaning because of their group name and they ended up using it on a poster later.Source URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2008/05/

Elisabeth's new Swedish magazine....

Elisabeth Dunker, of finelittleday, just debuted this new children's magazine, Petit. She handled the design, styling and photography. The cover is adorably enticing but not overly sweet, and the logo is just perfect. Congratulations, Elisabeth--I want to fly to Sweden to get one!

Deep Thoughts

I'm the typical brunette (neurotic, bookish), but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have striking blonde or red hairs. Is it true, do blondes (or redheads) really have more fun?
(P.S. This dude is cute. No other reason for posting:)
