Stella McCartney’s kids collection will be launched on 2nd November at select Gap stores in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., France and Japan. The 70-piece line, which McCartney said she designed to “find a kind of balance between Stella as in what I do for adults…and how I see kids, really,” takes inspiration from both the design signature she has developed in her own collections and her practical experience as a mother of three. I especially like the Stg Pepper Beatles jackets!

Some sunny images on this rainy autumn day. For all of you suffering from post summer/autumn/pre-winter depression, I hope this post will cheer you up! This house is located on Salina, one of the Aeolian Islands (Italy).This is the island where almost every house on the island has sea view.

This stunning house, designed by Murdock Young Architects, is located on a lake in Montauk, New York. The home has white painted wood floors, walls, and ceilings to reflect light and accentuate the open spaces.

I especially love the painted white ceiling beams! The wooden dining table and benches give a bit of colour to the room.

The architects: “Designed to accommodate a growing family and close friends, this lake-front compound includes a 4,500-square-foot main house with 50-foot lap pool, an 1800-square-foot three-bedroom guest house, and a barn. An aggregate of smaller, informal living spaces carefully composed to disguise the bulk of the building and create a variety of views and experiences, each structure centers on a great room open to the northern water views and the southern sun and breezes.

The structures combine modern design with the local gabled vernacular of cedar shingles and white-painted wood: large expanses of glass, painted pine board walls, exposed structural trusses, gray-painted pine floors, and driftwood-clad storage elements that subdivide the interiors.”

When I read about Diana Fayt on design*sponge I was immediately drawn to her beautiful vases. Diana is a talented ceramicist living and working in San Francisco. Her vases can be enjoyed with or without flowers. Diana on design*sponge: “Some things I consider when making a new vase shape is how many flowers will fit in the vase. Most people buy one bunch of flowers, not three. I want people to be able put their blooms in my vases with ease and not have to fuss too much but also to enjoy the vase without flowers as well.”

Diana has developed a process with ceramics in which she combines all of her loves; drawing, painting, printmaking and clay and refers to it as ‘as etchings in clay’. Diana is both a traveler and a lover of home. She gleans inspiration from nature, the mundane and life’s stories. Her ceramic pieces are often narrative with marks of time, events and images seen and experienced and then drawn into the surface of her clay platters bowls and vases. By doing this she hopes to leave a permanent mark that expresses her vision of what she experiences in the world around her.

Diana currently exhibits her work in galleries and fine boutiques throughout the United States, Japan, Australia and Europe. You can purchase her gorgeous ceramic objects from her Etsy shop
