Pattern on Pattern: Happy Birthday Baby Sis!

My little sister (and favorite partner in crime) is turning 22 today. It feels like just yesterday she was only seven, running around with golden curls and watersocks as shoes.

Jaz likes anything ethnic-inspired and bright, so these are her presents wrapped in patterned art papers from India, and tied up in recycled sari rope. More is more today.

Fall into Jaz’s world of color and film here.

Pretty enamored with these new party shoes.

I am still dying over the color/styling/pattern mixing.

Color explorations for a project I’m working on. Despite my normal sensibilities, I never use such girly palettes!

I want to infuse my summer wardrobe with more color and pattern and fun…this is a smattering of the inspiration floating around my desktop.

Today, for the first time, I feel like we’re on the winning side of the portfolio battle. Four days until we go to press.

I finally went through the (ever-growing) folder of inspiration on my desktop. I really like the idea of introducing pops of fun bright colors into this year’s NYE festivities. Pinks, reds, and golds have been floating through my head. Polka dots too. I’ve been very inspired by the fun, liberated color in the windows at Kate Spade and Betsey Johnson. I’m quite certain this will have an influence on my Christmas wrapping, as there are spools of bright polka dot ribbon stacked all over my desk.
