I'm a Magnolia Pearl Girl all the way. The brainchild of the very talented artisan Robin Brown, Magnolia Pearl offers clothing and home decor the likes of which you've probably never seen anywhere. To quote Robin herself, "Magnolia Pearl Couture is is what Victorian style would have been if Queen Victoria partied with Janis Joplin and Alice in Wonderland." I've followed her business online and in magazines, but hadn't bought her book...until now. It arrived two days ago, and I just devoured it. A Bit of Velvet & A Dash of Lace is the definitive book about her "style" and takes us on a tour of her Texas homestead. In it, she shares bits of her childhood - she grew up with hippie, artistic parents whom she credits for nurturing her own creativity - and talks about the humble beginnings of her business (she created a purse...a woman in a grocery store literally bought it off her back...she made more bags which sold immediately...and the rest is history). But, the real purpose of the book is to show us how she lives at home; and, if the style resonates with you, how to recreate it in your own abode. If Shabby Chic and Victoriana were thrown in a blender...well, you get the idea. I adore it. Find the book here and her website here. Robin Brown and her husband, John Gray

The largest exhibition of Romany Gypsy wagons in the country is being auctioned
Do you ever dream of being a nomad? I think it’s something that crosses all of our minds at one point or another. Traveling from place to place with no destination in sight; living in a beat up caravan that’s covered in beautiful tapestries inside and overflowing with little trinkets you’ve collected along the way. […]

Boho-style bedrooms capture the essence of a carefree, eclectic design philosophy that's as inviting as it is personal.

Textile artist Robin “Pearl” Brown and her husband John Gray bought and gutted an Airstream Trade Wind, they found on eBay and turned it into a gypsy-like romantic haven. The result, I'm sure you would agree, is quite stunning. If you would like to copy Robin “Pearl” Brown‘s unique style a good place to start is with her book: “Country Living A Bit of Velvet & a Dash of Lace: The Fabulous Interiors of Magnolia Pearl.' In it she explains her interior design philosophy and provides easy-to-follow and irresistible projects.
Some images of the lifestyle of the Gypsy Traveller that we can celebrate. But we know too that the life of the Gypsy wasn't as beautiful as it seems. For centuries they've been, and still are hounded by the Authorities of whatever lands they've travelled. These images are of an era of energy, style, colour and freedom of expression that's almost a thing of the past. We can look back and admire these beautiful bohemian interiors that speak of a way of life that has all but disappeared. Fortunately we have images like this to prove it did exist, that there was a life on the road that had romance and style before the world was morphed into one of mediocre sameness and blandness...

Gypsy Chic decorating is not just about decor. It's definitely a way of thinking and living. Gypsy generally is a combination of bohemian, Moroccan, Indian, hippie, vintage or beatnik influence. It infuses these elements to create a bold and colorful, free-spirited look. One of the greatest things about this overall theme is that it’s easy, fun and funky and it means things don’t have to match.This style of decorating is all about living simply and expressing one's creativity It is timeless simply because it is so diverse, and is unique to each person who defines their style as Gypsy. I usually add more "how to get the look" captions but with Gypsy being so geared toward the individual, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Across Pakistan it is common to see things with wheels ornately painted and adorned. The port city of Karachi, is the epicenter of this long-practiced tradition. Practically every vehicle, from a garbage truck to a rickshaw, is opulently decked out with everything from colorful murals to historic or symbolic images. Sometime around 1920, the tradition of decorating a truck prior to it heading out on a long trip was born. Known as “Jingle Trucks,” Pakistan’s love affair with the Bedford, the heavy-duty truck that started the craze, came to Pakistan from UK automaker Vauxhall Motors after the first World War. To this day, the vintage vehicle is is still a vibrant part of Pakistani culture. University of Karachi professor and artist Durriya Kazi who has studied truck art for several decades, believes that the age-old practice can be connected to Sufism; a mystical side of Islam that focuses on spirituality and body purification. Kazi says decorating the trucks is a way to obtain “religious merit,” such as the Sufi practice of embellishing a shrine or religiously significant site. In other words, by paying tribute to the truck by adorning it, the owner is ensuring that the truck will...
