Blink Blink

Love these funky handmade patterns by Anna Niestroj aka Blink Blink. Her blog and Flickr are also pretty sweet.

Dawn Gardner

Dawn Gardner's work reminds me of summer and I'm totally feelin it. Wouldn't those patterns look awesome on a bathing suit? I know - they totally would. While they aren't available on bathing suits (yet...), you can get them and the rest of her work as an iPhone case, laptop skin, prints, or even stationary right over here.

Pattern Play

I haven't been keeping up with New York Fashion Week as much as I'd like, but I did make a point to check out what Jenna Lyons cooked up for J.Crew, and was completely delighted to find all sorts of patterns, textures, and bold brights (!!!) for fall. Needless to say, I'm loving it. Check out the full collection right over here.

Ana Montiel

Love these illustrations Ana Montiel did for Nina Ricci. They remind me of kaleidoscopes. The rest of her portfolio is equally awesome:

Be sure to check out her shop, too!

Nancy Ramirez

How cool are these prints by Nancy Ramirez? All available for purchase (and quite affordable) right here

Luli Sanchez

Really enjoying artist and textile designer Luli Sánchez's portfolio

Magic Slippers

I wasn't searching for house shoes or anything, but when I came upon these beauties over at Anthropologie I realized they might be the most perfect house shoes I'd ever seen... what do you think?

Patterns I Love: Kristin Reger for dublab

Love these patterns by Kristin Reger, and I totally agree with Courtney at designworklife - they'd be awesome as fabric or wallpaper.
