Introducing Book of Deer AW16 Crystals & Moths 

This winter Book of Deer plays with the magic of crystals and moths. Not just pretty to look at, for thousands of years ancient civilisations have utilised the power of crystals for healing and divination. Moths are also thought to be connected with prophetic powers and are universal symbols of light and transformation. 
This season we take inspiration from the beauty and mystical powers of crystals and moths - Fortune teller hands are embroidered on shirt collars alongside miniature crystal balls. Watercolour quartz stones of purple and blue decorate floaty tops with flared sleeves for added drama. Purple chiffon dresses are printed with lime green luna moths and crystal clusters. Peer into the technicolour crystal balls printed on silky blouses and seek your fortune within their swirling mists.

These are the whimsical animated drawings of Japanese artist Maori Sakai. In an online world dominated by flashy seizure-inducing GIFs, I love Maori's work for slowing things down and using GIFs to magically bring her illustrations to life...

I'm all about cats this summer and Sarah of Sarah Jane Atelier loves cats as much as me! I love how she's styled her Book of Deer Meow Cardigan and Lucky Cat Dress together.See her full post here

"I initially stumbled upon Book of Deer through on of my favourite bloggers and I was immediately drawn in by the beautiful and whimsical aspect of the designs. All of the detailed prints are hand drawn, digitally printed and exclusive to the brand. All of her designs remind me of being in a day dream and truly have a signature look. I am obsessed with this cardigan because it is called Meow Cardigan and it has the cutest embroidered cat details on the front and back. I can’t wait to wear this look out and about because I know it will be a great conversation piece. These clothes feel like a work of art and will always be cherished in my closet." ~ Sarah Jane

Chambray dresses are made for summer, lightweight cotton to keep you cool and a shade of blue that matches just about everything! Our Rainbow Dress is seemingly simple yet packs a cute punch with the Lucky Charms embroidery that decorates the skirt and the bright pink lining beneath it. Rebecca of A Clothes Horse styled her  Rainbow Dress in the sweetest spring look against a daffodil lined background. Click to see her full outift story here:

"

This dress is probably my favorite piece from the Book of Deer spring/summer collection. It's just so simple and classic, but has those tiny details that set it apart--like the charms on the skirt and bright pink lining. It's a perfect chambray for spring and summer, but I could also see it layering (with the same cardigan even!) with some tights and boots for autumn." ~ Rebecca, A Clothes Horse
