Bows and arrows

We’ve been seeing a bit of lean towards North American imagery lately – arrows, feathers and tribal geo’s, seen predominately in fashion but photography, graphics and hand drawn type too. I love the simple arrow head motif, more to follow later…

Necklace by Orelia, really simple, cute motifs in soft golds and silvers

Lovely packaging – Sarah Thorne for Topshop and Jack Wills

I couldn’t resist, I saw the beautifully simple illustrations, hand drawn and quirky, the products looked so wonderful together, a lovely coherent collection – really striking. I was hooked, I couldn’t help it and I may have bought a couple of items.

I loved the hand drawn text and illustrations, uncoated paper stock, small droplets used for the waterproof mascara and starry sprinkles for the highlighter. BeautifulWhat a clever lady Miss Thorne is, you can see more of her work here.

I didn’t realise Sarah had designed the packaging for Jack Wills fragrance too, saw it just the other week, I liked the soft pink on Kraft paper
