We know we're officially old when we're receiving Le Creuset casserole pots for Christmas and hankering to go into Habitat to check out the winter sale. Do I see a white picket fence in the near distance future? Maybe I'm also going to be worrying about taxes soon (I still haven't a clue how much I get taxed...). For now though, it's just a mild homebug that I will have to alleviate pretty damn fast (I can't be obsessed with sheets AND shoes... that's just plain greedy...). At Habitat, I spied some bedding that looked strangely familiar and for about ten minutes, was pondering where the hell I had seen it... until I look at the tag and realised that design duo Swash were responsible for the illustrations on the bedding... 50% off... bargainous bed joy... I don't mind being swaddled in Swash's drawings at all...
It sort of twigged as that detailed black outline and watercolour technique that Sarah Swash and Toshio Yamanaka have developed is quite distinct...(snapped their sketchbooks here...)
They've given their website a redesign and have included some lovely natural light flooded pictures of their S/S 09 collection in a very English looking garden...
For S/S 09 they have also done a set of huge scarves in silk and double layered chiffon...
I just need to be swathed in the scarves as well when lying on my bedspread... as well as wearing one of the dresses...sick Swash fantasy... I think I'll leave you with that slightly odd mental image.
