Pasta! In a Clutch
With pasta being my muse this week, I cant help to be reminded of my very first fashion creation to ever make. I know many of you will recall the classic rigatoni pasta necklaces we all made for our moms in Kindergarden? I can remember my delicately stringing with yarn and constructing each perfectly chosen pasta piece, and so excited to present that delicate little work of art to my Mom!
The Little Linguine that Could
“It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine. It’s fine, bitch.” Franco says in a thick Italian accent to his wife Lisa as they discuss a pasta delivery that needs to get out before the close of business. Both wear hairnets that remind me of my grandma who feared that exposure to running water would cause her to prematurely lose her $30 perm.
Inspired by Pasta
Food is our trigger to all design. Its color may inform our fashion, its texture may inform our artwork. Its shape may inform our interiors and its flavor will always inform our table. This week the geometric patterns and wild personalities that make up what is the quintesential Italian meal inspire us –PASTA!!
Renaissance Mushroom Man
Stan Yockey is an enigma. First, he has two pugs that he may like more than most people and he collects hens on nests. You know the ones—the vintage candy dishes that adorn nearly every grandmother’s faux-oak china cabinet. This wouldn’t be so strange if Stan favored V-necks and Ricky Martin, but it’s entirely inconsistent with the turkey hide he’s tanning in his garage.
Inspired by Mushrooms
Food is our trigger to all design. Its color may inform our fashion. It’s texture may inform our artwork. Its shape may inform our interiors and its flavor will always inform our table. This week our inspiration is mushrooms. Dirty, dank and gritty where grown. Earthy and rich when eaten. Welcome into our home for a week of fungi inspired living and take a peek under the log to see the magic.

A Kick Ass Collar
I was pretty excited when I saw this awesome shoot the gals shot in NYC about knives, allowing me to tap in to my darker side (which isn’t too hard). Knives you say? Why not add some bullets to the mix? I adore this kick ass collar by Assad Mounser made with stainless steel bullet spike drops.
