Wuthering Heights
I love Wuthering Heights (though I love Jane Eyre more), and I love this Wuthering Heights tree by Lizzy Stewart.
Books
Out of Print
Last night I was lying in bed reading a 1962 Jack Kerouac interview which was insane and hilarious. I’ve loved him since I read On The Road at 15, and I think it’s high time I reread some of his books. This morning, I discovered these lovely t-shirts of largely out of print book covers [...]
The amazing Icelandic knitting book
Long ago, I promised I’d share with you the amazing book of patterns and motifs I bought in Iceland. This book was a real splurge for me. It is huge, gorgeously printed by the local museum in Reykjavik, and as far as I could tell, unavailable outside of the country. I went back and looked [...]
Milly F09
I loved the modern-meets-1920s vibe from Milly’s fall collection. So beautiful. This is one of the few collections where I truly would wear everything shown. {photos via style.com}
Book Review: Lingerie Parisienne
Here’s a book I think you’ll love: Lingerie Parisienne by Juliette Morel. I picked up this cute little paperback from the 70s on a visit to Powell’s in PDX and I just love it. It’s all about the lingerie of the 1920s, as seen in french fashion magazines. I really adore the revival of 1920s-1930s [...]
Book Review: Boutique Knits

I especially love all the hats and mitts (two of my favorite things to knit and wear in cold weather), and the interesting techniques [...]
Tim Walker
Tim Walker is one of my favorite fashion photographers. Here are some nice wintery images. This year, he released a book of his work, which would make an amazing gift: Tim Walker Pictures
Mode… Information
As far as I can tell, the name of this book shop is “mode… information.” It’s a small shop that specializes in content for the fashion/design industry, including trend forecasts, pantone color books, catwalk reports, and design books. If you’re in the industry, I suppose you might have upwards of 200 euro to spend on [...]
How to buy Japanese craft books
If you’ve been reading a while, you know that I love Japanese craft, fashion, and style books. Japanese publishers put out a huge range of well-designed, beautifully photographed books and “mooks” (a cross between a magazine and a book), spurred by the Zakka design movement. “Zakka has also been described as “the art of seeing [...]
The Cocktail
A quick note to let you know that I reviewed this lovely book, The Cocktail: 200 Fabulous Drinks over at Cocktailia. You might be interested in the pretty pictures, which are illustrations by one of my favorites, the Australian illustrator Kat MacLeod. Check it out!
