when the Cloudlings come

A few weeks ago, as my Instagram feed began to fill up with images of cloud sprites, antique beds on snowy beaches, beautiful clothing and a fuzzy two-legged unicorn creature, I knew something special was brewing over on the other coast. It's lovely when seemingly unrelated insta-feeds collide, isn't it? This time it was the "dreamy team" - directors Maximilla Lukacs and Sarah Sophie Flicker - again joining forces with the always brilliant designer Samantha Pleet to create a film ("VISIONS") in anticipation of her Autumn/Winter 2014 collection. Throw in cast including my pal Hannah Metz, fellow The-Loved-One shopper (and brilliant photographer) Tara Violet and, of course, Hannah’s brother Liam as the Creature and, well, this is a bit of magic that simply felt worth sharing.

I love the never-ending story vibe complete with a dream-pop score, Tennessee Thomas as narrator and can we please talk about THESE PRINTS!? This collection looks absolutely stunning.

Well done, everyone involved! (**claps from the West Coast**)

ATTENTION: MY DEAR SWEET LADIES of AMERICA!

Hello Cats & Kittens!

Admittedly, I do try to keep my own personal politics to a minimum on this blog (my twitter is sometimes a different story!). After all it is supposed to be a fun place to linger for a moment and it is not my intention to alienate people who may or may not agree with my spiritual/political/philosophical ideologies - they just want to see clothes and pretty images, I get it! That said, what has been going on during the course of the race towards this election is beyond scary to me, in particular, where women are concerned. The things coming out of many of these misguided (ehem) mostly male, politician's dry mouths are not just oh-so-last-century, some of them are downright medieval! I'm truly scared for us, ladies! I would never think to inflict my own beliefs on someone else's body but, it seems, I have foolishly taken for granted that I could expect the same from these "leaders" and from my own fellow citizens. When I heard about this PSA a few amazing women were putting together I leapt at the chance to be apart of it because I so very much wanted to stir a few of you sleeping souls out there! You out there who haven't decided who to vote for or even whether or not to vote at all. Please believe that a few little steps backward in the short term could easily have us snowballing straight back down that great mountain of equality our grandmother's grandmothers started climbing all those years ago! So... it is with this in mind that I present what I hope is your WAKE UP call! also known as the "YOU DON'T OWN ME" PSA featuring many familiar faces from all over this amazing-when-it-wants-to-be country. Thanks again to the ones who made it happen! You give me hope.

*in case you were wondering, my little cameo is around the 0:55 mark - For a list of everyone involved please check out this article over at Paper Magazine

love to you all! xMeg

come see the Sea

I came across this collection via the lovely Sarah Sophie Flicker's twitter. It is accompanied by a wonderful short film she and her directing partner in crime, Maximillia Lucas, created for NY-based clothing label SEA -- the directing duo are also know as "the Belles of the Diamond Field" whose work I have posted about many times before. The film features Sarah Sophie and Tennessee Thomas (who is also cute as pie). Anyway...have a look for yourselves!

I not only love this short but I'm really in love with the clothing and am so glad to have been turned on to SEA. Here are a few of my favorites from this collection:
