News From the Craft + Style Blogosphere: November 12, 2009


Story by TeenAngster Published on November 12, 2009 in Reviews	Photo by EbenKling

“My look is either very baroque or very Zen — everything in between makes me itch.” — Legendary tastemaker Iris Apfel

This week's edition of News From the Craft + Style Blogosphere has mellow Swedish interiors, fashionable menfolk, an organic alphabet, bright and cheerful botanical prints and style inspiration from photo album friends of the near to distant past.

Read on!

I gain inspiration by analyzing fashions of the past, and the many stylish ladies featured on vielles_annonces's Flickr stream make me want to get out the old Polaroid and document my ensembles. [Via Me Melodia]

Visual representations of the alphabet need not be a boring Times New Roman affair. Elka Dopludo's Organic Alphabet illustrations show off the many flexible shapes and materials characters can assume. [Via Ana Montiel]

I love me a fashionable dude, and Street Etiquette makes my toes curl with joy! Be it corduroy, pocket squares or Cowichan knit sweaters, the men behind this street style blog are always forward-thinking with their clothing choices and the trends they pursue (and they make sure to tell you where similar styles can be found).

The bold floral patterns of Jobs Handprinted Textiles remind me of vintage botanical specimen posters. [Via Ungtblod]

These mellow and monochromatic interiors were photographed by Swedish photog Stellan Herner. The mixture of textures (concrete, slate and fuzzy rugs) reminds me of Abigail Ahern's pleasant home. [Via Style Files]

Wanna give me some more artsy, style or design blogs to peruse? Leave them in the comments! And check out past installments of News From the Craft + Style Blogosphere!

Beautiful photography! Damn, I am jealous. Lomography is also amazing type of old style photography, I find it looking even cooler than the old style Polaroid camera photos...

That is exactly how I would dress my son if I had one - as an updated preppy kid complete with sperry topsiders and "statement socks". Hey, that's a little like I dress, too. Love.

Oh these are all wonderful, especially that wonderful home and the old fashion bits. I never cease to wonder at the delightful images magazines came up with before photoshop and computers. Those colors are so warm....
