And so it begins….

We had our first snow fall…..

STEVEN ALAN X TOKI!

It’s here! For one week only (December 2nd-9th), one of my favorite shops will be hosting an online trunk show for us at www.stevenalan.com which will give an exclusive sneak peek at a selection of our Spring line as well as have Fall/Winter items available.

We couldn’t be more excited….really!

Here’s a look at some of our Fall/Winter collection. To preview a part of the Spring ’10 line, go to Steven Alan and be the first to get it! The show starts today and runs until December 9th.

Happy Birthday Little Lady!

So, today is my niece’s birthday. She’s six! Emily is undoubtedly the coolest and funniest little girl that I know. She visited the studio one day and discovered a mountainous bag of colored string. Jackpot! Friendship bracelets for everyone she knows. She’s quite the apprentice in the making. Just look at her…she understands the importance of protective eyewear! And, she came prepared. Check out the Blue’s Clues yogurt drink and cheese squares.

Today’s your day. I am thankful you are in my life. You endlessly make me laugh and surprise me.

I get an instant smile across my face when I see beautiful work spaces. Makes me want to hijack their studio and take it over! Ok, I’m not that crazy but I do draw inspiration from pretty spaces from the likes of artists like Rilla Alexander. Not only are her illustrations incredible, but she has a studio to match! Look at that natural light and of course, the dog.

My own studio is constantly in flux. I’m always moving furniture, adding new prints, and buying new things. Since it’s like a second home, I figure it should feel like one too.

Mulberry love…..

My cousin has a great way of making me want then need things, that I really don’t need at all! She sent me a link to Mulberry’s collaboration with Apple and at first, I shook my head. Then I went to the site and the pop of pink on the screen intrigued me. Realizing that bright pink patent leather just ain’t my thing, I rolled over to the supple black leather selection to ooh and ah….and then finally, I bookmarked it. My laptop does need a home…(sigh).

Thanksgiving Feast….

Thanksgiving has come and gone. It was a special day to give thanks for the things that matter the most to us and it was especially sweet for one special dog. Oliver devoured his supposedly easy on the stomach meal, but apparently sweet potatoes, rice, and turkey are anything but. I also had no idea that this is like crack for dogs.
