Incredible midcentury architecture in Palm Springs #Donald Wexler

I loved this film

A great doc on the life of Roger Ebert.

One of the themes that really got to me was the power that art + work has to safe one's life.

Covet Garden

The latest issue of covet garden is out with cover illustrated by me.
What's more exciting is that the issue features the happy home of my wonderful massage therapist Michelle Yee of Soft Mechanic and her fella Glen.

Here's a pic of Michelle's massage room with my Room of One's Own print on the wall.
I just love getting under that moose blanket! One of my favourite places to be.

Thanks to the fabulous Lynda Felton + Jessica Reid of Covet Garden for the gig. xx

Inspiration: Dorothea Lange

Am listening to a documentary on Dorothea Lange.
She's the photographer who took the iconic Migrant woman photograph during the depression.

Inspiring, Kick Ass woman.

Comrags

I went to a Spring preview at comrags last night and as always it was inspirational.

 I splurged and bought this Isabella dress. 

Love the frill on top -and plan on wearing it - as all my comrags dress - for all 4 seasons!

Might just have to get this one too....

I love dresses with POCKETS. (Handy for the iphone!)

Jonathan Adler is at the DX tomorrow

 

 Tickets available here.

Way to go Lena Dunham.
