lace and linen tote bag by cottonblue
I took a few days to figure out what I’d like to start focusing on with the bumblesea blog. my decision: more indie fashion designers, accessories, fashion photography, and less craft projects. in keeping with my new theme here is one of my favorite flickr photos! a girly and simple lace and linen tote by [...]
nick knight, why I got into fashion photography
I can’t blame it all on nick knight. there’s guy bourdin and juergen teller (whom nick mentored) as well. I got a subscription to W magazine in highschool and these three men gave me something to daydream about in chemistry class: fashion photography. (mr. miller, there was a perfectly good reason for me to write [...]
olga ert aka inkpanda flowery sculptures via flickr
I like olga ert’s sculptures of little creatures covered in flowers. I think she’s primarily an illustrator and most of her work is done under the name “inkpanda”, you can check out her work on behance, blogspot, and flickr. I believe she’s japanese, but lives in russia and speaks russian on all her online profiles. [...]
cactus jewelry tree by sara schalliol wildernest
I will probably never get this purple cactus jewelry tree. if I bought everything on etsy I loved I would be in massive amounts of debt. I have all my jewelry tucked away in little drawers on my work desk, I could probably buy three of these cactus jewelry displays and still not have enough [...]
bumblesea art prints?
I’m pretty handy with photoshop, I’ve been interested in hyperrealism for a few years now. I’m toying around with the idea of selling some prints of hyperrealistic digital paintings/illustrations. all the tests projects I’ve done have been paintings of original photographs so this could be a way for me to get more involved in photography [...]

allison o’grady, founder of aspiring couture, agreed to do an interview for the bumblesea blog. she dishes on what it’s been like to build an online fashion boutique which carries beautiful collections by emerging fashion designers, and promote the company while working 3 other jobs! as you might already know from one of my previous [...]
bloglovin & sarah seven, fashion designer
firstly, follow bumblesea on bloglovin! I just signed up, and currently have no followers. sarah seven‘s dresses are so feminine and dainty, I want some to wear with tights and chuck taylors, and maybe a so-vintage-it’s-falling-apart jacket as well (which seems to be my current casual style lately, a phase I wonder if I’ll end [...]

whichgoose floral headbands + tiaras via etsy
I’m loving these boho hair crowns and accessories on etsy from whichgoose. her floral arrangements have been a source of inspiration for a new jewelry line I’m working on for bumblesea. not to mention the product photography is great, often featuring the designer herself, emily zych. this photo of the “cocoon” butterfly hair comb is [...]
leanne lim-walker photography via flickr
meet leanne lim-walker, a very talented young photographer I was lucky enough to stumble across on flickr. she’s only 19 years old and is self taught at photoshop. she’s been working on photography for three years. she’s younger and less experienced than I am, but she could kick my ass with an SLR. jealous.. but [...]
bumblesea fabric flower and twine headbands
behold, my first DIY creation I’ll use every day. I only had one fabric headband and it was falling apart because I wear it nearly every day. I was looking for some DIY projects for jean and I to work on and I found this tutorial on cucumbersome, via heart of light. it was an [...]
aviewto photographs via etsy
I found aviewto’s photography on flickr, originally falling in love with the pink collection that was featured in little thing magazine. then I learned that there was an entire set, and she sells them via etsy as postcards. so pretty.
capree kimball photography
I’ve taken way too long to make a post about capree kimball’s photography. she is a lovely and very talented lady whom I met via twitter. capree on capree: “I’m a photographer, doodler, and hooligan. My photos are copyright protected.. don’t steal them or I’ll punch you in the face.” lovely indeed. her diptychs are [...]
headache & bumblesea photography
instead of working on indie fashion projects together jean and I decided to take naps today. my head is killing me and I’m going to justify not getting much work done today by making two blog posts. here are some of my photos on my flickr account. hope you enjoy them.
design love: o l y
oly is a mysterious character I came across via flickr. I can’t seem to find very much information about her. I guess the images speak for themselves. you can buy some goodies and find her blog + flickr here on her bigcartel store, for the star.
