//// Soon my arms will be wings…
Posted on | February 7, 2010 | 6 Comments
Barbara Munsel is doing some awesome things with feathers and ombre colors this spring.
I especially love the tiny feather sleeves, they make me think that H.C. Andersen story about girl and her brothers — the brothers were turned to swans by evil magic, the girl had to knit magical jackets to them to free them from the spell. She had to keep silent the whole time… …she was accused of witchcraft and brought to be burned alive… ..she knitted and knitted… …only the last sleeve of all jackets was unfinished when she threw the jackets on the birds, so the youngest brother had a wing instead of the arm.
I’m churning out the posts here in uncontrolled pace, but my inspiration folder is bursting…

I'm especially interested in young designers creations, non-established labels and indie fashion. So if you have something interesting to show, feel free to contact!
You can find Finnish design from both specific and some outfit posts - but both are tagged.
You might be also interested in DIY posts, How-to posts, DIY ideas - or my adventures in Etsy =).

my attention went to the arco lamp behind the model…
thanks for the link, the wood wedges are absolutely beautiful.
just the overall heel, i need up to 2.5 — 3.5″ max… because i’m very tall, and ‘wind is strong up there’.… and all wedges seem to be 4 or 5 “.…

Haha, the eye picks exactly what you actually want! I did not think that arc being Arco (thought that it had round profile pole) — but that might be! Could definitely image that in your home, judging the pics I have seen.
What about those Acne wedges (Bare) for the spring? They have open toe and heel, though…
