Blog It Forward: Things Inspiring Me Right Now

Posted: February 19th, 2010 | Author: ab | Tags: , ,

Thanks to Victoria for coming up with this fun plan! I’m Blogging It Forward to Heart and Craft, so be sure to check her site out Monday. And now, without further ado, my list:

1. Kelly Wearstler. Well, Kelly Wearstler’s hair. And Kelly Wearstler’s black kitchen design.

2. Weirsie! (Johnny Weir, my Olympics boyfriend.)

3. Jessica Helgerson, who is design perfection.

4. J. Crew (and Jenna Lyons, of course, and Jenna Lyons’s house, and that one J. Crew bathroom she designed and oh wait I sound like a stalker.)

5. Black and white stripes, especially on the ceiling. I am going to have to do that to something soon.

Thanks again to Victoria! You inspire us all, girl.

    in related news, your hair inspires me, abchao.

    in other related news, it’s rather charming that johnny weir has his name written in cyrillic on his skates. so summer-camp-underpants!

    You’ve got to love a man who wishes he was at the Olympics AND Fashion Week at the same time. :D

    It looks like the Jessica Helgerson link isn’t working — or redirectly correctly.

    I found her site here: http://www.jhinteriordesign.com/

    Totally and completely *swoon* worthy

    The most important thing I have gleaned from this post is that I need better legs so I can wear those cute shorts!

    Oh, also I love KW and Weirsie, and there ain’t nothing wrong with black and white everything, everywhere.

    Silly question, is it just me or are Johnny Weir’s skates signed with his name in Russian?

    oh! Number 3! We tried to specify that fixture for a client about a year ago–it is so gorgeous–but they’re no longer manufacturing it because it’s so fragile, people kept damaging it. One of the uneasy unions of product designs and the people who use them.
