Jeanine Payer Fall 2010

We are flush with Jeanine Payer jewelry and I am especially excited to share photos of her Fall 2010 collection. Her use of sunstones, mixed in with her usual choice of semi-precious stones, delicately hang from thin 18K wire!

Kristina's arrangement of Jeanine Payer's bracelets

I've started a new blog, called oddly charming, so that I may share inspirations, favorite restaurants and stores, designers, ideas etc... that have sprung up from conversations at Cursive and beyond. Hope you will stop by for a visit!

We were positively giddy after reading Pilar Viladas's design post on Cursive Grand Central Terminal.

Not afraid of little color...

Ruffles with a bit of orange...
divine!

happy august!

Isa wearing Filippa K

This dress captured the essence of what I've been looking for in a summer dress...

...the softest cotton,
gentle pleating down the front,
and the long tie-back detail feels organic.

The dress is by Filippa K, a Swedish clothing designer and Isa, the woman wearing the dress, is Filippa K's sister. I stumbled upon Filippa K's store in Stockholm, 7 years ago, and bought the most comfortable heavy cotton sweater in navy that I still wear today.
