Davina's dogs
5.26.2010


We've had a busy and exciting couple of weeks here at Petite Alma. Last week, we had the very talented (and very very lovely) photographer Davina Zagury in the studio working her magic and we're pretty excited about the results (stay tuned... the photographs will be up on our website asap). Until then, I wanted to share some of her other work.

Aren't these doggy portraits adorable? When I first moved to New York, I was struck by the unique dog culture – they're everywhere! Enormous dogs, tiny dogs, and all with these quirky little personalities. I love that Davina was able to capture all this in her photographs...

Dutesco Art

I came across Roberto Dutesco's fabulous photography this weekend while strolling down Crosby Street Saturday afternoon.  The horses of Sable Island are stunning- I want them all!  
And while you are there, you might as well stop by the Vespa store next door...

stunning sevilla
5.17.2010

I was recently lucky enough to visit warm, sunny, beautiful Spain and I fell head over heels for Sevilla (no surprises there). I just love the colour of the city... it's so alive and full of visual surprises and contrasts. These postcards kind of sum it all up for me and I thought I should share the love...

What style!  What talent!  Garance Dore has such a great eye.  I mainly go to her blog to see the wonderful photographs she takes, but recently I've been using her illustrations as my screen saver- they are sensational.  Click here to see all of her beautiful work.

pierre herme
5.13.2010






There is nothing in the world I love more than a parisian macaroon.  They are my all time favorite dessert in the entire universe.  On a bad day, all I need is a macaroon (or two or three) and then I am fine.  The BEST macaroons are found at Pierre Herme in Paris (of course).  Not only are they so incredibly delicious, but you can purchase them in these amazing gift boxes too.  C'est magnifique!  Click here to visit Pierre Herme.

Cartographical Fun
5.11.2010



Two of my favourite things are maps and Oliver Jeffer's illustrations, so when I saw these beautiful prints for sale on The Royal We I was so excited. Each print comes with little pins so you can 'chart your path to total American domination'! And the best thing? It's my birthday next month, so here's hoping!

Found via Black Eiffel

a meal fit for a mom
5.09.2010

Mothers Day is apparently the biggest restaurant day of the year, but I think nothing beats sitting your mom down with a nice glass of wine and whipping her up a home cooked meal. I tend to always check in at Sunday Suppers on Sunday mornings and be inspired for the evening meal (many thanks to the wonderful Karen Mordechai). And if my own mother didn't live on the other side of the world, I think that tonight I would have made her this, followed by this and this, and then perhaps this or this.

Happy Mothers Day to all!

Beautiful books
5.06.2010

Isn't Spring wonderful? It's all about colour... pops and splashes of it where you'd least expect... like these lovely book cover designs by Gabriele Wilson featuring fab Leanne Shapton artwork. Who would have thought that literature could be so fashion forward?

Quirky Ceramics
5.04.2010


I thought I would share with you the wonderful ceramics of Rae Dunn. She is influenced strongly by Wabi Sabi, the Japanese philosophy that embraces the idea of imperfection and the transient nature of beauty, which results in some beautiful, playful pottery. Her little birth plaque is such a sweet simple idea for a newborn baby.
