Happy Spring!
I can't resist making a quick post to share the latest version of the Screaming Mimis ad, due out in April, starring one of my all time favorite Spring color combos, melon-y pink and dusty mint!

Happy Valentines Day!
Here's a sneak peek at this years Screaming Mimis card:
You can also check out the Spring Fashion issue of Paper Magazine for a lavender, dusty rose, and lemon chiffon springtime garden party version, which should be on newsstands any day now!
Inspired in equal parts by the Cecil Beaton and the Bright Young Things:
The paintings of Romaine Brooks:
And the fact that I've spent nearly the entirety of 2012 thus far watching practically nothing but Busby Berkeley musicals, as an antidote to both a persistent case of general ennui and an unexpectedly long recovery from a troublesome wisdom tooth operation, and I really couldn't have asked for a better prescription!
Here are a few of my favorite ultra kaleidoscopic musical numbers so far:
Hope you're all having a magical day so far! We'll most likely be found curled up on the couch with the kittens, reveling in more Busby Berkeley, and dining on fancy mashed potatoes, wild mushroom soup and ice cream sundaes, all of which sounds just about perfect to me!
Meow!

Sunshine Day...
The Screaming Mimis ad for Spring, inspired by art deco florals, dream bicycles and 1920s picnics, and informed, just for fun, by the Spring 2011 Pantone palette:
was dashed off to print back when there was still frost on the ground, but I've probably been obsessing about a proper garden ever since, and now that Spring has officially sprung here in the Pacific Northwest, we've been strolling the nursery aisles every chance we get, poring over seed catalogs, pricing arborvitae, and sourcing climbing roses for our chainlink fences with impossible visions of a rococo pastoral urban backyard:
I'll let you know how it goes!

Recent Acquisitions...
The most adorable 60s flapper revival bookends by way of Japan:
These have been one of my most coveted vintage items for a million years, and I finally have a set to call my own!
Also shown, their doppelgänger statuette, one of my previous most coveted items in all of the world. Now I have three!
I always wonder if the artist who created these characters may have been inspired by some of the same late 60s and early 70s models that I love...
Probably the most striking resemblance is to Jean White, one of my all time favorites, often credited with everything from being one of the first models to start doing the 1930s look to singlehandedly changing the face of fashion in the 60s:

Jazz Baby...
Allow me to introduce my first absolute favorite find of 2008 so far:
The most adorable and ridiculously comfortable 20s/30s/70s oxfords ever made!
Cue the cobbling together of outfit ideas from the acres of piles and files of clippings scattered across my desktop:
Bows and spats via eBay, of course! Bloomers and argyle via the fashion blog of a cute Japanese shoe store with a Tyrolean fetish to match my own, but the link to which I seem to have misplaced, and the amazing, amazing silver sequined bowtie is somewhat of a mystery, but if it belongs to and/or is familiar to you, please let me know because I might NEED one!
P.S. Also, think Polly!
xoxoxo
Fawn
