WORDS UP: babies



If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.
Vincent van Gogh

OUR BABY BUTTON HAS ARRIVED



Welcome divine one! John Patrick Button (Button is my husband's last name), 9lbs, 21" born under a Crescent moon in Gemini as an Aries. More to come on birth story and of course more pics. No nursery pics for at least 2 more months as our home is still being remodeled. Ahh surrender to the home repairs. Honestly, the crib is in our room and not even being used yet. He sleeps in his Uppa Baby bassinet stroller and is fine. To those pregnant and worried about the nursery... chill, it will all come together.

MOOD: Styled by Faye Toogood





"Writing recently in surreal atmosphere, I can not avoid mentioning Faye Toogood, a stylist excelling at creating dream-like spaces for exhibitions and set designs for photoshoots. In her superb works we can find a lot of absurd sense of humour and surrealistic play with the scale.

Faye Toogood cooperates regularly with many magazines (Vogue, Wallpaper*, Elle Decoration), designers (Tom Dixon), fashion labels (Burberry, Topshop, Comme des Garçons) and creates advertising campaigns for numerous world-known brands."
