Pink Friday

This painting by Misato Suzuki is called Early Summer Rain. Honestly, I was looking through my links thinking I had run out of Pink Friday's, but then I happened upon this and all was right in the world (dramatic). I've been scarce this week, so here's to a lovely weekend. Enjoy.

I'm a fan

Here's one for the makeup-obsessed. I've always loved Topshop's makeup packaging. It's downright iconic at this point. So I was happy to stumble upon its designer, Sarah Thorne's portfolio recently. And guess what? All her other work? Pretty much spot on. I am officially a fan. Some favorites (including Topshop) below:

Out of season

The way Sasha Kurmaz photographed these flowers makes them look too perfect to be real. Actually, they remind me scientific illustrations. Absolutely stunning.

Pink Friday

I did a NYFW-related Pink Friday last week, and here we go again. I should have waited for London. This filmy pink dress from Christopher Kane's most recent collection features appliqués that have seemingly been attached using random pieces of black electrical tape. It's all deliberate, of course. And that isn't tape either. But that's the point, isn't it? The charm is in the juxtaposition.

Cat Fancy

Studio Lin has been responsible for designer fashion label, United Bamboo's cat campaign for a couple years now. And I suppose because "put a cat on it" is the new "put a bird on it" (and I'm actually serious), these felines really do make the perfect spokespersons.

For your thoughts

Now that's a good use of space. Jacqueline Lou Skaggs does these gorgeous little (and I do mean little) paintings on found, discarded pennies. The texture here really is something else.

Easy to please

Le it be known that I am easily entertained by charming animal illustrations. I know that's seems really specific, but it's true. Now please check out these works by Franco Matticchio whilst I wipe a tear from my happy eyes. (via 50 Watts)
