Olivia: Alessi Fiato Sul Collo Necklace
Ever since I popped into the Alessi store a couple of weeks ago, I've been infatuated with Mario Trimarchi's collar necklace. In Sicily, where Trimarchi grew up, a sirocco (warm Mediterranean wind) would occasionally blow through. According to local lore this wind was dangerous, so the neighbors would gather into a windowless room to smoke and play rounds of cards until it was over. When the door to the room was opened, the sirocco would rush in and cause the cards to scatter about, the effect of which Trimarchi captured in the stainless-steel Fiato Sul Collo.

Julia: Beautiful Fashion Illustrations by Dadu Shin
I recently stumbled across "I Don't Like Clothes", a personal project by New York City-based illustrator Dadu Shin. His unique designs caught my eye immediately. They are full of colors and interesting patterns, and I would truly love to wear any one of his pieces.
