A FOUND ESCAPE



























THREAD & STONE IS 'THE BRIANCHILD BETWEEN TWO FRIENDS', NICOLE CABEBE & ALANA MOCK. THEY CREATE GORGEOUS PIECES OF JEWELERY, THAT LOOK LIKE THEY'VE COME FROM THE ELEMENTS THEMSELVES. I'D DO ANYTHING TO HAVE ONE OF THESE BEAUTS AROUND MY NECK! ABOVE ARE A FEW OF MY FAV PIECES, PLUS A COUPLE OF IMAGES FROM THEIR LATEST LOOKBOOK 'FOUND ESCAPE'.

" AT A YOUNG AGE, BOTH GIRLS DISCOVERED A PASSION FOR WORKING WITH THEIR HANDS. RAISED ON THE ISLANDS OF MAUI & OAHU, THE GIRLS GREW UP WITH AN APPRICIATION FOR THE CONSTANT CHANGE IN NATURE, & THE BEAUTY IT CREATES WHEN THESE ELEMENTS COLLIDE. LIKE THE ARTISTY OF WAVES CRASHING INTO LAND, IT'S FACETS LIKE THESE COMBINING IN THEIR OWN LIVES THAT INSPIRE THE THOUGHTS BEHIND EACH COLLECTION. " - THREAD & STONE

A LITTLE LOVE & ALOHA

























WELL, IF YOU EVER WANT TO FEAST YOUR EYES ON SOMETHING PRETTY & COLOURFUL, LOOK NO FURTHER THAN CALIFORNAN ARTIST SUSAN WICKSTRANDS LOVELY LITTLE COLLAGES, THEMED ON TROPICAL LANDS, SURFER GIRLS & A LITTLE ALOHA. EVERY TIME I TAKE A FLICK THROUGH HER ARTWORK, I'M COMPLETELY REFUELLED WITH INSPIRATION TO PICK UP MY PAINTBRUSH, OR TO PICK UP MY BOARD. THE BRIGHT COLOURS & LAYERING OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS & MEDIUMS I FIND  BEAUTIFULLY CAPTIVATING. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN WICKSTRAND'S WORK ACROSS RIPCURL, ESPECIALLY ON THEIR NEW LINE OF BIKINIS. PERSONALLY I'M PUTTING IN AN ORDER FOR ONE OF HER LOVELY PHONE COVERS HERE
