Spring Styling: Heather Moore aka Skinny laMinx


Something about today made me think about Heather Moore aka Skinny laMinx.  I think it might have been the lovely Spring weather that reminded me of her beautiful prints.   So I thought that it only fair to share something about this eternally cool artist/illustrator and designer with you! The image above is a laundry bag made for one of her 'Making Friday' posts on her blog using her cloud birds fabrics.  It looks so fresh for Spring don't you think?




Skinnylaminx is one of my 'go to' shops when I want a lovely present for someone.  At Christmas I bought this tea towel and the tea towel pictured above and this gorgeous 'pincushion' runner in charcoal as presents - and the recipients were very very happy - and asked me how I manage to find such beautiful things!  That's the kind of response I like  :)



Heather makes her images using papercuts and drawings and has a simple, natural and bold style that I love.   She has also just recently opened her own bricks and mortar shop in Cape Town - I wish I could visit!
Have a great weekend!

All images are from the Skinny laMinx blog and shop.
