The wind has been howling non-stop so I decided to employ it’s help in showing off a gorgeous gift I received last week, from a friend located in Dubai. She said the bright colors and geometric pattern made her think of me, and now I’m the lucky owner of this ridiculously amazing, hand-made Afghan Pashmina. A million thank yous.

A shout out to Booooooom for featuring an artist that really floats my boat, Michael Dotson. His paintings abound with bright, contrasting colors, geo shapes, print mixing, texture for days – and all presented in a semi-surreal, retro manner. That’s pretty much a recipe for awesome, right? Check out his website to see more of his work!

A round up of our favorite prints in the most publicized color of the year: Tangerine Tango. It’s not a bad representation of the season’s top print trends, either… from florals, plaids, and paisleys all the way to Hieronymous Bosch!
