1. Katherine Duclos LEGO ArtworksVancouver-based multidisciplinary artist Katherine Duclos has been sharing her LEGO mosaic art on Instagram over the years and Im forever intrigued every time they pop up. As a LEGO lover, I can only imagine how painstaking the process is to create each piece, but assembled they appear well worth the effort (and cramped fingers, I imagine!). The color palettes and compositions Duclos pulls together on each one feel ethereal and surreal, which comes about from painting each LEGO brick and arranging them by hand. Not only is the artwork delightful to look at, its origin is even sweeter. Duclos found herself playing with LEGO bricks with her son, who had been diagnosed with autism and gravitated toward their modular design. That play time sparked her creativity and the result is an ever-growing body of work that rivals those artists using the typical mediums often associated with fine art.2. Sterling Mohair Cardigan by MiflandI rarely wear color, but if I did, it would be in the form of this Mifland sweater. I either love minimalist, black and white things, or vibrant colors and this piece of clothing leans into the saturated side while complementing it with more muted tones. Its the ideal balance if my two favorite color schemes come together. Founded in 2011 by Tobi Egberongbe, the Atlanta and New York-based Mifland is well known for their leather goods and bold color schemes, and I love seeing the brand continue to expand their offerings.3. Mini Puffy Star Sconce by Eny Lee ParkerWeve been documenting the work of Eny Lee Park for about a decade now and seeing her work evolve over the years has been fun to watch. The New York-based artist primary works in ceramic, with a range of designs spanning lighting, furniture, and accessories. In December, Park launched Mini Sconces in five adorable shapes and in 10 colors that will definitely match anyones taste and decor. Theres even an option to hardwire or have it wired with a plug if you want a less permanent lighting solution. I love all the shapes, but Im partial the the Puffy Star that I wish lived in my home. One day!4. Modern Pink Rug by Nordic KnotsEvery couple of months I search for a new rug for my living room to replace my black and white IKEA STOCKHOLM rug Ive had for many years. Its definitely seen better days. I keep coming back to this pink, black, and cream one that gives nod to early modern and Swedish funkis design. Its simple yet striking, and I think it would transform my tiny space.5. Love LA T-Shirt by The Hundreds and COREThe second The Hundreds launched this Love LA T-Shirt to support the victims of the Los Angeles fires, I bought it. They were only available for pre-order in January, but hopefully theyll do another run (because I ordered the wrong size and I would love to continue aiding the community!). The Hundreds partnered with CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) to help fund the ongoing efforts to aid all those that were affected by the devastating fires. The design is perfection and every time I wear it, it reminds me to keep doing whatever I can to support those that have lost so much. All of the profits went to COREs humanitarian strategies which is aces in my book.
