Matter

Miss Moss shared some images from Matter a little while ago and I've kept it bookmarked to eventually purchase the pink ones (so cute!) and to share with you.

Baubles from Sew A Song

These gorgeous hand-crafted necklaces from Sew A Song are made of various materials like wood, brass, onyx and stone. I love that they are so textural and elegant.

Fanm Mom

I'm determined to get some patterned shoes for fall, but with so many options it is really difficult to choose. Like these from Fanm Mom.

Caven + Etomi

Really cool Afro-futuristic tees with from Caven + Etomi.

Patterned Shoes for Fall

I've been wanting some funky masculine flats for fall and was thrilled when I stumbled upon these lovely options. My daily style is pretty basic and neutral (tees and jeans), so patterned shoes are perfect to add a little flair. Like these hand-crafted shoes made from Ankara fabric from Tawia Designs (above).

The Ten and Co. oxfords pictured above are hand-made in morocco using leather and rugs or woven blankets. I love how colors and print add punch to the classic silhouette .

I've always been a fan of the sneaks from Ohema Ohene. The gold ones are magical!

Dopeness from Dpipertwins

I can't believe summer is almost over. But that won't stop me from loving this summer collection from Dpiperywins. See the entire collection here.

Miss Mochila

These gorgeous Miss Mochila bags are handwoven by the Wayuu peoples of South America (Colombia and Venezuela regions). The color combos are wonderful! Check out the clutches and bracelets as, too.

Obsessed with Dries Van Noten's AW 14/15

I'm doing research on color and pattern trends and came across this beautiful AW 14/15 collection from Dries Van Noten. The collection uses palettes and prints that push the boundaries of what might be related to the season. They remind me of these gorgeous illustrations from Alexander Purdy.

Beauty from Tata Naka

This delicious collection from Tata Naka is blowing me away! Most of the AW 14/15 interiors inspired designs are covered in boldly mixed bold prints and photographed with a patterned wall and floor as a backdrop. It's so beautiful and inspiring. I'm adding the photos, shot by Becky Maynes, to my mood-board immediately.

Goodies from Kenema Clothing

Beautiful goodies from London-based brand Kenema.

I want to wear them all!

Lobo Mau Spring/Summer 2014

The amazing Nicole Haddad, a former studio-mate and the mastermind behind the Lobo Mau brand, continues to kill it with her graphic and patternful SS 2014 collection.

Check out this lovely article featuring Nicole and Lobo Mau.

Asilia + Creativity and Noise Collabo

I'm loving this collaboration between Asilia, a (fabulous) design studio, and Creativity and Noise, a (dope concept) screen-printing studio and workshop based in the UK. The two came together to produce a collection of tees and other soft goods called AfriCAN under the Creativity and Noise moniker, which just launched over the weekend.

I've been admiring Lulu Kitololo's (of Asilia) work for some time and love how her beautiful aesthetic, vision and brand continues to grow. 

Support good work! See the entire collection here.

Goods from Oroma's Therapy

Oroma Elewa shares lovely goods from her travels on her online store, Oroma's Therapy.

Mazel John

These photos have me really excited about the launch of Mazel John. I need those pants!

It's A Wrap Life

Loving The Wrap Life, which sells richly colorful and printed fabric for head-wraps. In addition to being a beautiful brand (and site) I appreciate the head-wrap tutorials that help us create the perfect wrap.
