(Rodarte has been the subject of many blogs recently, and I have to admit I never would have given this designer a look over if not for the coverage of blog sites. The point of the story is that once something is brought to your attention, isn't it funny how your power of observation is thereafter focused on that matter. Take for instance, Vogue's October 2008 cover featuring the beautiful and talented actress Rachel Weisz, wearing a Rodarte cardigan or the lovely and provocative crocheted fishnet stockings, which to illustrate the point are also featured in Canada's Flare magazine.

Timeless and Renown

(Love how these black and white photographs from renowned Photographer Rodney Smith evoke a sense of timelessness.)

Sensational Photography

(Simply Photo suggested everyone check out Photographer, Sharyn Cairns and that is exactly what I did. I wasn't disappointed. What an exceptional portfolio!)

Double Room Makeover

(The question has certainly generated a lot of interest over at Small Space Style. Which do you prefer, Doug or Debra's makeover of the same room?)

Etoile Home

(étoile home was launched in 2006 by fashion and interior photographer and stylist Shani Beadle. Combining inspiration from her travels around the world with a passion for design, she created a line of homewares that are fun and eclectic. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, étoile home's Creative Director, Shani Beadle, has also worked as a stylist in London.)
