at sixes and sevens



Something I've been excited about for months now - along with several other bloggers, I've had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with London-based company Borders & Frontiers and the tshirt I designed is finally available for purchase. I love the look of screen printed black and white photographs and wanted something mildly abstract so as to be more wearable..I chose this photo I took through the windshield on an abnormally windy and stormy late afternoon drive back from Palm Springs and disintegrated the edges for a worn-in, vintage feel. It's handprinted 100% organic cotton and is available via the button on the left sidebar. I can't wait to get mine and play around with it.

Please email info@bordersandfrontiers.com if you have any questions and thank you so much to Karoline and Andrew for all your hard work!

That's great, and I'm a new reader to your blog, but believe me, I'm hooked. Just like Jane from sea of shoes, you have a way of posting majestically glorious outfits and fashion statements that make you want to go out and hunt for your very own treasures!
Good luck on all your new ventures!

Dear Anonymous Trolls.
But why do you keep on returning, just to tell how much you hate everything? Does it feel life affirming & good? Like you´ve achieved something? Also, please at least add a link to your own marvelous blogs- I´m sure they must be pretty extraordinary...

Hawa said...

i quite like the simplicity of the image....its nice to see another side to you cause i wouldn't have expected such soft imagery, i was expecting something quite on the grunge side....still very interesting! Congratulations!

wanling said...

erm what was so hard to understand about my last comment? I repeat:
Not everyone in the world feels the need to set up a google account. Or a fashion blog for that matter.

Is This Real Life? said...

Ohhhh that is such a pretty Tee def. gonna check it out!
Great design, congrats!

Anonymous said...

I'm not sure how this is anything special. To capture a black & white scenery on camera and have it printed on a plain white T-shirt?

How can this compare to designers who actually DRAW or DESIGN something on a shirt-- aka people on Threadless.com.

Elsa-Pauline said...

beautiful print!

Anonymous said...

44 dollars for That???????????????

terrific!!!:

Rumi said...

thank you :) :)

Emmy-Loo, the sizing is unisex so the small is a little loose but for a more true oversized fit the medium should work.

Styleantagonist, I checked it out, it's a really great collage!
