A Lesson In Batik from Maiyet

A Batik look made in Indonesia from the Maiyet Spring 2013 Ready-To-Wear Collection.

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.

Sunrise Over The Beach

Sunrise

Just wanted to share another quick photo from my vacation!  Today’s is my last day on Amelia Island, so I took advantage of the day and got up with the sunrise.  In LA we get plenty of beautiful sunsets over the ocean, so it was extra special to watch the sunrise on the opposite side… [Read More...]
