I’ve always loved this photo from an old issue of Nylon circa 2003 (I think). Looking at it today, it still seems so relevant with all the ’50s looks we’re seeing for spring. I lov...
My friend Chelito sent me a link to this beautiful letter last week found on Letters of Note. It was written by Ansel Adams in 1937 and sent to his best friend Cedric Wright after Adams had recupera...
Darryl and I took a trip to San Luis Obispo over the weekend to visit his parents and get a little down time away from the city. We did a whole lot of lounging around, reading, eating, and even man...
When it comes to design, I would say that I’m of the kind that sits somewhere between less is more and more is more, but definitely a little closer to more is more. I think “less” a...
I’ve written about Martha Graham here before, but for those who aren’t aware of the trailblazing woman, it should be known that she was a real force. Martha was a pioneer, if not the pio...
Nothing like a little bit of sparkle to start off the week. I’ve been loving these embellished blouses and dresses that I found in an old Nylon, circa 2002-2003. The casualness of it all is a...
Really into this World of Interiors editorial shot in Mongolia with luscious fabrics. Love the velvets mixed with silk and wovens, and the layering of indigos. As much as I love a good chair or a go...
As I was rummaging through my tear sheets I found these from an old Elle and was immediately reminded of weekends spent in Galveston, Texas, at beach houses when I was young. I love the sort of dish...
One of the most exciting things that happened for me last year was moving into my own studio space. It was not something that I had planned on doing, so even more exciting was that it was totally un...
I recently started volunteering for Create Now, a non-profit that mentors youth from the ages of 2-25 who come from poverty-stricken families with a history of violence, substance abuse, or neglect. ...
It’s been a productive week over here and all kinds of exciting things are happening, not just in my world but in the world around us. Below, a few things that inspired me this week. Have a g...
I scored on the most insane pair of vintage black suede shorts at a flea market a few years back, but they weren’t just black suede shorts. They were black suede shorts with fringe up and down...
Going through my archives this morning I found these from an old issue of Elle. Angela Lindvall wrapped in bright, chunky knitwear in the middle of a forest. I can only feel happy when I look at the...
Last weekend my very awesome mother-in-law gifted me with this first edition copy of Sonia Delaunay by Arthur Cohen book. It was such a great surprise, especially since it was given to me at my brot...
I wrote about designer Jenny Postle and her line Leutton Postle a few months ago and just recently visited her site to find her Spring/Summer 2012 collection. She really has a way with textiles, as ...
It’s been a while since I’ve posted A Visible Trace, but this week has been filled with too many awesome things to skip this time around. I’m happy to be home for longer than a mon...
I showed up to dinner last night and was not only greeted by my two lovely friends Stefani and Gilda, but two goodie bags were awaiting my arrival with open arms. If you read Stefani and Gilda’...
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know how I feel about collages. I came across the work of Spanish designer and illustrator Eugenia Lejos and was immediately inspired by her v...
There’s nothing like a weekend getaway with your girls. After my trip to San Francisco I headed to Ojai for a mini vacay and to celebrate my friend Jeana‘s birthday with Heather, Simone,...
There are things in life that give me instant gratification, and Pinterest is one of those things. What was once just a smorgasbord of inspiration has turned into something relaxing and fulfilling. ...
Céline and Stella. Enough said. Although I should point out that Stella uses faux fur, and Céline opts for real fur. This is a heavy topic, I know. I prefer to go the vintage fur route, but that ...
I dream of vintage caftans. They are one item of clothing that I can always justify purchasing because I wear them over and over, and pretty much year round here in California. They’re my ult...
This LA weather is pretty hard to be mad at. 80 plus degrees in January with a trip to the beach makes me feel like I’m on vacation, but I’m headed to San Francisco for a week and I̵...
I’m super into this editorial I found in an old issue of Elle. Black, white, red and plaid all make me happy, as does the fruit explosion styled with leopard print Dior, red leather Fendi shor...
Last night I was browsing the book selection on Anthropologie’s website and was so excited to see that they are carrying the new Hermès book(s), La Maison, by photographer Koto Bolofo. This ha...
I can’t tell you how nice it’s been to decompress these past couple of weeks. I’m of the brain type that always has something brewing and rarely shuts down, but this year my mind a...
Wishing all of you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. xo Joanna
I am always on the hunt for old textile art and I have been fortunate enough to acquire some rare prints and drawings that date from the early ’20s through to the late ’60s. The NYPL Dig...
I just discovered the work of artist Stéphanie Baechler and was completely drawn to the beauty of her recent fabric project, Furnishing on Bodies. Inspired by fabric drapery and the mass production ...
A few months ago my friend Jessica sent me an email with a photo of the most amazing moccasins I had ever laid eyes on. I found out they were hand made by Daniel McRorie of Rickard Guy and immediate...
