Oh my Cavalier, how I love you.

I've been wanting to do a post on Julianna Swaney's work for awhile now. I pretty much just adore her style. Her illustrations have this edge to it that says I'm delicate, I'm intricate and I'll behave for you ... but you probably shouldn't turn your back on me. She has a shop full of lovely things, called Oh My Cavalier! in case you, as I do, cannot live without some form of her work.

♥'s for Monki

I discovered this wonderfully quirky Swedish clothing site over the weekend called Monki. I insist you go there directly and check out the fabulous introduction animation showcasing their November styles.

I must mention that I am so enamored with their illustration and animation, and the art direction to showcase their clothes is different from anything else I've seen before. If only I could get my hands on a magazine issue and drool.

Two blogs I love

While on lunch I'd love to share two blogs I'm addicted to.

Animalarium is fulfilling my animal illustration addiction. After trolling through I discovered a beautiful post about Andy Warhol's illustrator days... and... a post on Millions of Cats (a childhood favorite of mine). I love little surprises like that!

Did I mention that Book Worship is packed full of beautiful little book design jems?
