sammy slabbinck.

Hi! Took a little break last week, because we were feeling a tad under the 100+ degree weather, but we're back with some wonderful stuff to love.

Today, we're featuring the incredible collages of Belgian artist Sammy Slabbinck. A sense of whimsy, vintage images, surreal worlds and bonus--giant women. These works of art have it all. Time, place and scale are all out of whack, the proportions are distorted and yet it's all in perfect harmony. They make me giggle. I could stare at them all day and always see a little something new.

You can view more of these brilliant pieces at the artist's site. Via Beautiful Decay.

That's all for now, but I'll be back soon with more to love. xoL

love #12.

Hello, and Happy Humpday! I was having a tough time coming up with a feature today, so I'm just going with a Love List, because as always, there is still so much to love.

Let's not waste any time.

1. LOVE: the prettiest laundry room ever! Who would not want trompe-l'oeil butterfly wallpaper surrounding the washer and dryer? The stunning room was featured in this year's San Francisco Decorators Showcase by Evars + Anderson Interior Design.

2. LOVE: this dress.

3. LOVE: this poster for my friend Brian's band.

Of course, if you have a band made up of designers and art directors, the posters are going to be amazing. If you're in the Minneapolis area, go check out The Melvilles!

4.  LOVE: this cover for Fahrenheit 451 (a book I still need to read--embarrassed!). Includes a real match and spine like a matchbook--be careful with this one, kids.

5. LOVE: the NYC photos of Ruth Orkin.

7. LOVE: Matisse.

8. LOVE: the totes at Stitch and Tickle's etsy shop. This one is a must-have.

OK, I hope you enjoyed today's selection. I know it's a bit of a mishmash, but I just decided to go with it. As always, I'll be back with more. Love, Lexa.
