Here’s my little confession, Tuesday night when I was supposed to be browsing my bookmarks so I could make a post on Wednesday, I instead spent my time obsessively shopping siphon/vacuum pot coffee makers. So no Wednesday post. HOWEVER, I was very good last night and did my blogging duty so I’m posting! (Some day I will make a post about siphon/vacuum pot coffee makers here ’cause I’m kinda obsessed, you know, like I just said.)
So, yes we’re just plunging into summer, the rainy season has about ended, and the hottest months are still ahead of us but that doesn’t mean that I ever stop the hunt for jackets and coats and the like. I was pretty enthused to find these beautifully colourful raincoats by Danish label, MaxJenny. Yes, I love neutrals, but I am really feeling the colours here. Not to worry though, you chromaphobes, they have a bunch jackets in voluminous black, too. Oh, and I should probably mention that all of their pieces are made from recycled PET bottles and dyed with waterbased colours. You can shop the collections on the site, and all prices are in euros
I know I’ve been doing quite a few re-posts lately, but it’s a new season and the old favourites are coming out with some exciting new things. And speaking of favourites, I revisted Fabrics Interseason after seeing a few new pieces at Project No. 8 and they’ve once again produced a collection that’s full of beautiful layering, texture, and volume. See some of the FI items Project No. 8 offers below. (Click the images enlarge)

Tim Van Steenbergen is big on draping and layering and volume. Frankly, some of it seems overly fussy and unfocused; however, there are quite a few pieces that are interesting and even wearable and I found his accessories collections to be the most appealing. If the former first assistant to Olivier Theyskens can sharpen his focus and edit more effectively, he could be designer to watch.
I’ve posted pieces from his Summer 09 and Autumn 08/09 collections. To view some pieces from his accessories collections be sure to click the ‘read more’ link below.
