Fashionable Friday : Emily Ryan

The movement of the lines in these pieces amazes me. The manner in which the feminine ruffles and pleats play off the structured edges is like nothing I've ever seen.  Emily Ryan, the independent designer behind it all, lives in Portland and has been designing since 2001.  She loves "modern sculptural designs that explore texture and shape, as well as artistic, comfortable, and cozy designs".  Furthermore, "1920's couture, science fiction, and Japanese fashions" inspire her. 

Emily Ryan's pieces may be purchased here.

Such a treat for the eyes, don't you agree?

Have a creative day!

Thrifty Thursday : Fashionable Art Prints by Ashley David

 

Aren't these just the peak of chic? These prints by Ashley David may be found at AllPosters.com, some of them starting at only $6.99!  Yes, you read that right, ladies. At that price, anyone can dress their walls in style...even in this economy.

 

 

 

I hope you have a wonderful day, everyone! Tomorrow we will be celebrating the arrival of a new addition (one who barks...not cries) so my son and I are busy getting ready for her today!  Googling about how to train a puppy, buying food, toys (so her little teeth will stay away from the leather furniture!), and a new collar! So exciting! I truly think I'm more excited about her than my son! Lol!
