Inspiration
Today we’re bringing you another bundle of inspiration sourced from the vintage aisles of the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena, CA. African printing techniques and motifs have been trending recently, as seen in Burberry Spring ’12, and Marni’s capsule for H&M. Of course, the vintage vendors know this and have plenty of eye candy to entice the many hippies, hipsters, fashionistas. Oh yeah, and textile designers. duh.
Last week my designer/gamer/geek and I broke with tradition by taking a few days off to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary with a road trip. The fourth anniversary celebrates through fruit and flowers {if you’re into that sort of thing} so we unplugged and drove up to Northern California. Trinidad Bay to be specific, and also the Redwood National Park, where we did some scenic hiking. Needless to say, I was rather excited when we spotted our first Banana Slug. The trip was all too short, but these photos serve as a great reminder to get out of the office more often.
