Being in Singapore puts me just a hop, skip and a jump from regions throughout South East Asia. This includes Indonesia, which I could literally visit in under an hour (at least one of its Islands!). I mention this, because design label Maiyet, works with artisans there. You may remember my introduction to Maiyet when… [Read More...]
By the time you read this I will have already left Chicago. Mind blown. I spent less than 8 months in this city, but am extremely sad to be leaving. It is especially tough to say goodbye because I didn’t get to experience even half of its wonderful offerings. However, because both my OB and… [Read More...]
I am a sucker for a good fairy tale. Even before they came back in vogue with shows like “Once Upon A Time” and “Grimm,” I liked fairy tales. Yes, I’ve heard the cons— The fairy tale format is so ingrained in society that from a young age women are taught to believe that they… [Read More...]
Consider this fair warning—today’s post contains a bit of an Art History lesson. Forgive me in advance. I realize this may be somewhat involved for a Friday… On my recent visit to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA for all you Angelenos), I saw an exhibit that has really stuck with me.

Fashion as Art is a pretty common theme here on North On Harper. Typically this conversation is based on a runway show or a fashion editorial. But today, we have something all together different. We have Prada Marfa: Confused? Baffled? Looking forward to an opportunity to shop at the Prada Marfa store during your next… [Read More...]
The fun thing about this week’s NoH Does is that it wasn’t limited to fashion. All that was required was a little bit of Navajo inspired print. So, when I got an email from Shelley of the blog Random Stuff By SAM I knew I was in for a treat. Shelley is always creating some… [Read More...]
Lately I have been checking out the covers of the September 2011 issues (you know, basically the most ‘important’ fashion magazine of the year, like in the movie? Tell me you’ve seen the film! If you haven’t well, I highly recommend it). It always fascinates me how important the cover of a magazine is. Unlike… [Read More...]
