DANIELDAY GALLERY/DREAM MECCA STUDIO Part Deux

Since 2004, when designers such as Lucien Pellat-Finet began incorporating skulls into their collections, it has made the skull a fashion icon.  In Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's Fall 2011 Collection he incorporated the skull icon into several of his surrealist inspired pieces.  Check out the entire collection:http://www.style.com/slideshows/2011/fashionshows/F2011RTW/JCDC/RUNWAY/00470m.jpg

The timeless beauty of lace.

Birch is the coolest 1yr. old I have ever met.  Rock on lil' dude!



Melody Musick, part owner is donning a toboggan from her gallery.





 Once again, the skull icon is the focus of this shawl.


Rectangle body types are perfect for this asymmetrical sweater.







Here in the South we consider the definition of  toboggan to be a type of hat, but Northerners define toboggan as a sled.  According to Wikipedia, the Southern region of the United States speak a dialect of the English language called Southern American English.  Until recently, dictionaries only defined toboggan as a sled.

I adore The Beatles, but check out the Buster Keaton coaster in back.  Keaton was an American comic actor and filmmaker.  During his career he designed and fabricated many of his own pork pie hats.  Pork pie hats were popular in the 1880s and resemble a fedora, but with a flat top. There are a variety of these artisan coasters at the gallery.  A set of 4 is $35.

"Of all the hues, reds have the most potency.  If there is one electric blue, a dozen reds are so charged.  Use them to punctuate white, burn into bronzes, or dynamite black."  -Jack Lenor Larsen
