I love the work of illustrator Sara Singh. So simple and gorgeous.
She also has one of the most impressive client lists I’ve ever looked at–designers (Givenchy), publishers (Penguin Books), cosmetics (MAC), magazines (Vogue USA, Italia, Nippon), on & on.

An editorial to remind you that warm weather will come once again. Or inspire you to relocate to the southern hemisphere.

Garance Dore is an illustrator-photographer-blogger who runs the self-titled blog Garance Dore. I’ve loved her illustrations and photos since the first time I saw them and now that her site is being translated into English, her writing is just as charming.
As a related note, when do we get the real and final answer on why French girls are so ridiculously perfect?

A new shopping center set to open in Nanjing, China blows previous copyright issues out of the water. Why rip off a product when you can rip off an entire brand? Pirated DVDs are so last year.
More new shops & products after the jump!

The Lake & Stars is a refreshing collection of lingerie by NYC based designers Nikki Dekker and Maayan Zilberman. Tailored, detailed and so different from the majority of the market. I especially like the cheek of the inclusion of beautifully designed trench coats in each collection.
Also, the name, The Lake & Stars, is a Victorian euphemism for a woman with skill in the bedroom.
