Samantha Magowan has some gorgeous and super interesting work (although quite a bit NSFW).

Winter may be coming to a close, but this knitwear is breaking my heart.

Also, kudos to Mimoods’ product photography. Fun style!

Oh, gracious.  Anzfer Farms introduced themselves to me this past weekend, and boy, do I have very few words for this fantastic work.

I’m filing these pieces under art, b/c really, they’re like mini installations in your home. Simply gorgeous.

Look closely; these rain boots aren’t just insanely adorable; they’re also made from layers of plastic bags and totally, 100% wearable.

Today’s trend? Topography. Ranging from multi-colored abstract landscape images to ceramic installations, topography is a hottie these days.

Inspired by the work of Minako Abe, I’ve rounded up some great examples below — enjoy!:

-Topography Plate
-Topography Architecture
-Topography Furniture
-Topographic Blanket
-Topographic Lamp
