I really, really love this blog. Renee Ruin covers art, fashion, trends, with an emphasis on tattoo, fetish and grunge culture and she digs up the most amazing stuff. Ruin seems to like the same artists I do, including the seriously talented Brian M. Viveros.

ALAS is a sleepwear label from two clever lasses Betony and Kelly. Mindful of our precious environment their philosohy is rather zen and based on sustainability. Their gorgeous pajamas are 100 percent organic cotton and are fair trade accredited, too.

The acronym, All Light All Shadow, represents this nature of change: day to night, sleeping to waking. All of the prints and colour schemes in the ALAS collections are created by the designers to reflect these inspirations, producing vivid and unique garments to keep you company in the night time. The designs themselves have been thoughtfully constructed to be both comfortable and of a simple, graceful style. The carefully selected organic fabrics are soft to the touch and always breathable.

It seems that the more apps we can load into our iPhones, the more tech savvy we become, the more many of us are returning to the handmade. Blogs and websites such as Meet Me At Mikes abound for the new generation aficionados of knitting, felting, and crochet.

And the CWA ladies better move on up the church hall bench and make room! Amigurumi is the latest trend for crafty folk. These little animals have no practical use but are overwhelmingly cute.

A friend introduced me to the art of RubyMay Scanlon. She’s a young Australian artist combining a great sense of design with a nice handling of mixed media and some quirky ideas. Her work is well layered, without being overworked. One to keep your eye on.

C3yoyodesign makes a range of ‘high tech’ Yoyos. Not just your average plastic Yoyo; and there’s not just your average primary school kid here using it. Must be how GoGo Yubari learned her stuff!

A friend sent me this video link. It’s not terribly recent, but I love the quirky animation style of the video clip. The singer is a lovely mix of CocoRosie and Lisa Mitchell (two of my faves). It’s lovely.

These are the coolest thing ever! French label, Waiting for the Sun, makes a range of ubersmart shades from wood. There are heaps of styles to choose from. Very Grace Kelly and French Riviera. I can just imagine wearing them with a scarf around my head and the top down on my convertible as I wind around the streets of Monaco.
