Observe : Pearced by H.Ryder

'Pearced' : A classic tale of boy meets designer

 A couple of months ago I had the privilege of reading the first proof of 'Pearced' by H.Ryder.
  I read this in the fitting surroundings of the mysterious, far away desert retreat of 'Qasr Al Sarab' in The Liwa desert, UAE.


 Now, the published version is available to buy on Amazon for Kindle.

 Adventure, mystery, fashion, humor and more... H.Ryder has a knack for noticing those little things in everyday life; the things that make people unique and full of character, the hidden meanings in apparently simple objects, the sense of adventure in new challanges, it all makes for a great read. I'd devoured it in a couple of days...

 

 'Pearced' : A Classic tale of boy meets designer.

 Denim Guru Tharie Charles needs a new challenge, her job is predictable and she’s jumped the toughest course on her maddest horse and survived. Her interview at RANDom, the newest hottest denim brand, may prove to be the twist in the tale she’s been looking for. She’s weird, and has a talent for discovering trends, her brain makes connections others discard.

Daniel Pearce, the founder of RANDom Denim is young, charismatic, gorgeous, and her new boss. He makes no secret of his desire for her, he wants her badly... to design for Milk&Honey, the womenswear branch of RANDom. Tharie can’t resist however hard she tries, Daniels gooseberry grey haunting eyes… she is powerless, saying yes to all his questions. Daniel makes it clear he’s in charge, but Tharie is from Dagenham, no one tells her what to do, it’s just her nature. The sexual conflict between them is an incredible aphrodisiac, their charged affair leaves them learning more about themselves as they learn about each other. Can this intense attraction last?

 Desperate to discover the meanings of drawings and clues left for him his whole life, together they embark upon an adventure to unravel the meanings of the unusual imagery which leads them far away. Joined by an intrepid group of colourful characters, they scour the depths and uncover lost treasures, whilst Daniel scours Tharie’s depths and uncovers her lost treasures!

Observe: Alice Gabb Illustration

Alice Gabb stationary at Broadway Market

I visited Broadway Market in London's East End, it reminds me of how Portobello Road used to be - emerging craft stalls, delicious food stuffs and a great atmosphere.
 One of the stalls that stood out was Alice Gabb's stationary stall - continuing my love of re-vitalizing the art of letter writing (see Louis Vuitton's Stationary Room post)


 Alice states that her work is inspired by her love of language, British Regalia and vintage curiosities. She designs fine stationary, to try and encourage people to write more letters.
 The stationary line includes 'fine envelopes for splendid correspondence' and features hand screened monoprints of antique cartouches and frames.


 Alice is at Broadway Market every Saturday, and is also stocked at Anthropologie on Regent Street and Kings Road in London.
