indie designer jes switaj monochromatic pink coral handbag

indie fashion designer jes switaj makes amazing clutches in both green and pink / coral hues. I know I just admitted in the last bumblesea blog that the majority of purses that I’d like to add to my collection are black leather. but a clutch doesn’t count, right?

birkiland black raven hanger & feruto black leather handbag

the black raven hanger by the icelandic indie fashion design company birkiland is so sweet I wouldn’t even want to hide it in my closet. and this feruto “dune” black leather handbag confirms that I’ll never spend money on a purse if it’s not black leather.

if I had to describe this shoot it would go along the lines of “professionally ethereal.” I admit, I’m jealous. take a look at photographer eugenio recuenco’s editorial portfolio and be amazed.

claudia tanney video ft. the walkmen “stop talking”

this video on youtube was filmed by claudia tanney in 2006, when she was only 12 years old. film school snobs beware, this girl will most likely one day wipe the floor with your magnum opus. plus “stop talking” by the walkmen is one of their best songs.
