BADGER ME






I love how Tommy Ton picks out all the best details, this Alexander Wang bag is obviously amazing but on closer inspection, the Badger bracelet is beyond beautiful and a very possible contender to the coveted cartier Panther ring. Not forgetting what can only be Kate Lanphear's oxidised black armour ring, blogger Hanneli's fluoro nails and that Pamela Love claw bracelet.

PAPER SELF




Paper Self's incredible paper false eyelashes, designed by Ting Yu Wang, inspired by the Chinese art of paper cutting, come in three different designs, Peonies, Peach blossoms and horses. Absolutely adore the horses/Zebras. Email info@paperself to buy or drop into Luna and Curious, 198 Brick Lane.

PAMELA LOVE





New Spring summer 11 collection. I thought skulls and spikes were a bit overdone but her totemic neck pieces, with the jagged edged crystals, primal beaded skull necklaces, studded, stackable bangles and geometric rings make me dizzy. Im addicted to those tribal style earrings, like the ones by Shaun Leane but chunkier, rustier and therefore better.

Taryn Simon

American photographer Taryn Simon has a new exhibition opening in a couple of weeks so this seems to be the perfect time to look back at her 2007 show, “An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar,” at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.

This exhibition contained photographs taken over a five year period in the USA, which documented private and ‘secret’ places across the country within the realms of government, science, security and nature. Sites include the Forensic Anthropology Research Facility (where 60 decaying bodies are laid out to recreate crime scenes) and the Research Marijuana Crop Grow Room in Mississippi, the only place in the USA licensed to cultivate cannabis for scientific research. The images were exhibited and the collection printed as a book. See images below with Taryn’s captions, and for more info see www.tarynsimon.com
