SURREAL STYLE {in my dreams}

Things are not always what they seem...and that goes double for these clever picks. Lately, I've been noticing a trend towards the surreal, and the absurd in everything from wall decals to slip-on shoes. And you know, I like it a whole lot better than the ironic attitude that has been so in fashion for so long.

I love how this trend creates style...drawing in with curiosity and humor, instead of pushing away with a sarcastic hip-factor.

The joke's on us: aspirational (read: high priced items) multi-drawer chest from the exclusive collection at Boca do Lobo and see-through jellies and tromp l'oeil clutch at  Barney's NY (who incidentally are now using the tagline Taste, Luxury, Humor...how fitting)

Register as Independent: Great (and reasonably priced!) Indie designer items from: Avril Loreti, Elly Nelly, Evocative Collage by Michelle Caplan and Ingenious thaumatrope necklace by adorapop (necklace can be spun to reveal a 'bird in the cage' tromp l'oeil). And...does anybody really know what time it is?? Get yr clock on with this great, dreamlike design on a journal at Engrave Your Book.

Okay! That's it for me today...Time to get to work on some dreams of my own.
