This is Paper

"Simplicity is king in everything we do. Fashion isn't." … according to Alexander + Zuzanna. The founders of the ThisisPaper shop and the creative brains behind the gorgeous artsy magazine that was founded in 2012.

I ordered the magazine for our creative space here in Singapore and hope the SIngaporeans will enjoy this magazine just as much as I do. It really encourage us to have a look at the simple and basic things around us… appreciate and treasure them.

Win a copy of ‘Little Prints’

Posted in: Give, Read it

If you haven't already heard about the yellow owl workshop, then this is a great time to catch up! You also stand a chance to WIN a copy of the new book, Yellow Owl's Little Prints.

Christine Schmidt started her art career at a very young age and by sheer hardwork she had grown the Yellow Owl Workshop to what it is today! You can recognize her works for their sophistticated yet playful aesthetic. Ranging from rubber stamps to jewelry (she has a line of exquisite gold pendants), all the graphics you see are lively with bold colours and all are a 100% original artworks.

Her new book teaches a wide variety of techniques that could be used to do a number of crafts. The book also features original templates using Christine’s designs. The motifs can be used to make gift wraps, print on stationery or even blankets and clothes! You could seriously go wild with the creative possibilities this book will equip you with! This is a great present for anyone who is crafty, especially moms who like to do a lot of DIYs, you know who you guys are 🙂

Vulture Magazine

Posted in: Read it

Clifford Loh, the managing editor and one of the founders of Vulture magazine, has been a long time friend of mine and I am so proud of what he and his team has accomplished!

Based in SIngapore, Vulture is an independent space to explore ideas that would influence a new establishment of a younger creative class. Aiming to empower a partnership between art, design, music and people to bring a new consciousness to the masses.

It's admirable how young the team behind Vulture magazine is and how much they have achieved in such a short span of time.

The magazine recently celebrated their first birthday with a party in collaboration with marc jacobs, and both Irene and I are so grateful to have been invited to celebrate this milestone. It was a fun night of drinks, music and art at 72-13. You can see snaps of the event on the marc jacobs site, as well as Vulture's instagram. …. read more ….

In the latest issue (available in the itunes app store for download on to your ipad), Vulture featured the styling works of Bella Koh, who is known as @catslavery on instagram. I won't say too much about the feature but wow, Bella really has a talent when it comes to food styling. We first chanced upon her works on instagram, and could not be happier when we saw her collaboration with vulture in this issue. Not only are the shots of the food amazing, most of her pictures are #homemade, impressive!

Bloesem would just like to congratulate Vulture magazine on a great first year and hoping for many more to come! ~ Zara S.

Real Living Magazine

Posted in: bloesem, Read it, realliving

I can honestly say that it feels truly encouraging and nice when a magazine like Real Living magazine from Australia approaches you for a write-up about the things you do … share with them a bit behind the scenes of Bloesem and what my ideas are about interior design … although it is a past issue in which (August 2013) I was featured, you can still read and see bit here over their blog.

I often buy Real Living and was very happy surpriesd to see this production I did with Marjon Hoogervorst in Malaysia featured in there. I agree with RL it is very interesting home of architect couple Wen Hsia and BC Ang in Kuala Lumpur. … yes this issue is still available and you will love all the Floral ideas they have going on right now….

Living in Antwerp

Posted in: ...Around the Globe, Read it

The book you saw yesterday in Veronique her apartment is by publisher Luster … it's about cool and interesting homes in Antwerp, Belgium. I haven't read the book myself but looking at some of the pictures makes me want to order it.

It's not the first time photographer Diane Hendrikx is working for Luster. A whole series of interior books have her name on it. Glad to be able to share some inspiring pictures today with you. They give me a mad men feel … what about you? ps. not all the images here are from the same book … the post is perhaps more an ode to the beautiful work of Diane.
