It’s time for another Objects of Desire post, and this one is extra fluffy! In honor of the upcoming Valentine’s Day, we’re going all out cute here on Masha.com, styling our best selling bunny valentine, with enough sweet little nothings to get you thinking about how you’re planning to celebrate in two short weeks. Just enough time to grab some of these pretties below. Happy cuddling!

1. To set the mood to a cotton-candy shade of cute, pick up some watercolor mischief in “Heart Holding Bunny” by Masha D’yans. Available for $4 or a set of 8 for $16, in our shop.

2. Do the words Silk Chiffon Ruched Suspenders tickle your big ears? Mimi Holiday, $45 at luisaviaroma.com.

3. Nothing says ‘I care’ like real love. Adopt an IRL Bunny Valentine, a darling pet from organizations like rabbitrescue.com

4. Only the best for your sweetheart’s sweet tooth. “Les Marquis” Chocolate Bonbons, from $35 at Laduree.com.

5. Wear your wild heart out, Masha style. Love Surrounds tee, $38, available here.

6. Bathe them in hearts of pure essential oils, milled using organic ingredients. Rose, Geranium and Jasmine pebble soap set by Bamford, $45.00, available at Net-a-Porter.

Hopefully, your Valentine’s Day card game is strong by now (if not, read this) but what are you going to do for a romantic soundtrack? How about something delectably otherworldly to tickle your ears? It doesn’t get much more etherial than our friend, Sky White Tiger! Blurring lines between fantasy and reality, Louis Schwadron took matters into his own paws, birthing psych-pop alter ego Sky White Tiger after a decade of writing, recording and performing with The Polyphonic Spree, Radiohead, David Bowie, Elton John, Sufjan Stevens, Grizzly Bear, The National, St. Vincent and Rufus Wainwright. Read about, and listen to, his work and be transported to realms wondrous and psychedelic with cosmic angles and laser beams. And if you happen to be in NYC on Feb 5, go see him live for his EP RELEASE SHOW at BABY’S ALL RIGHT! Because watching Sky White Tiger perform live is truly out of this world. We, for one, knew this was an Artist We Love as soon as Louis conveniently brought us delicious Korean snacks while we got peckish and lazy in someone’s hot tub around 3 AM some April morn (take note – this is how to make friends and influence people!). The talent didn’t hurt either.

The time has come! Whether you’re wooing someone, honoring time/battle-tested love or pointing and laughing at the whole thing, Valentine’s Day is looming large and red and nothing says ‘you matter’ and/or ‘pay attention to me please’ like a card (preferably accompanied by something made of sugar and/or lace). As far as we can tell, love comes in several forms. We lovingly invite you to peruse a selection of our cards fit for many a valentine below. May you find the perfect one for you!

For your funny, fuzzy, cute, cuddly valentine or delicious morsel (or a grandparent) we give you Heart Holding Bunny! It’s sweet on sweet but hold the cheese.

.

Ditch the cold weather and think blushing blooms for someone awesome – friend, foe, relative or homie. Why not let them know they’re above average with our Awesome Flowers right now, as Saint Valentine commands?

.

Are you in the throws of requited animal magnetism? Then our Coyote Couple is for you, fierce pair!

.

For someone who means the world, transports you to realms unknown and has that cosmic je ne sais quoi – Cosmos!

.

Is your union ocean-deep, unusual, dream-like or just aquatic in some way? Let’s call it magic and celebrate with a pair of Sea Unicorns, creatures so rare, so apart from other fish in the sea, so perfectly matched they don’t really exist outside this shop. Or do they?

.

Is your love as pretty as a summer’s day? When inner and outer beauty combine, it’s time for Eye Lips XO, original and to the point. Smart and sexy cards like these DON’T grow on trees.

.

Shimmy into your most romantic swim trunks and celebrate dat ass! Beach Bums brings the euphoria of sun-kissed passion to you wherever, no need to break the internet.

.

Is your feeling wild and natural? Animal Flower Face gets it.

.

But wait! There’s even more! These cards are also excellent expressions of love and affection. Do WE have a date for Valentine’s Day, you ask? Yes, it’s February 14! So hurry!

We have another fantastic installment of ARTISTS WE LOVE to kick off 2015. In addition to her life-long fine art practice, Natasha Wheat is a master jeweler who also happens to be one of our favorite style muses. This native Angelino was kind enough to answer our questions and share the photos below. Read on to find out how she crosses disciplines with such thoughtful grace. Hint: it just might have something to do with a trick she learned in kindergarten or a suitcase full of notes from her rockstar husband.

We hope you celebrated the birth of 2015 with merriment and in high style! We’ve got a lot planned for this year in our mission to elevate the art of correspondence with much watercolor mischief, and that all begins with a quick glance back. 2014 was a busy one here at Masha D’yans Design. In case you missed them, venture below for some monthly highlights:

January’s highlight was our new fabrics with Clothworks. Medieval princesses and dreamy unicorns definitely made Bloom our favorite collection to date.

Happy everything! And hooray because Masha’s new fashion collection has arrived! Calling all watercolor-and-print-maniacs! Get your fix of splashy art on sweet silhouettes to sport into 2015. After much searching (and frantic outfit changing, probably brought on by a mix of nerves and glee), we finally found an apparel partner to serve up #watercolormischief on beautiful clothing the way it’s meant to be: WITHOUT BORDERS! Go to printallover.me/collections/mashadyans/ to lay eyes on the first wave of our favorite pieces: we’re talking tees, drop pants, bodicon dresses and hoodies! And don’t forget to let us know what you think by tweeting @mashadyans or by any other means necessary. Here’s a little closeup preview to get your closet party started!

Over the moon and in pastel heaven? We thought so! The cozy 100% cotton Moon Unicorn hoodie coordinates with everything especially the Bouquet Unicorn card in our shop.

Make a wish to drop jaws in these 100% cotton jersey I Wish drop pants and it shall come to pass!

It’s all about pecking order. Strut it in the Rooster Toss bodycon dress and be the baddest of the coop, 95% cotton and 5% spandex.

Shop the entire collection here. See ya looking awesome in 2015!

Ever wonder who took that rad photo of Masha in a fantastical paper hat for the relaunch of masha.com? It was none other than the talented LA-based artist and friend, Lika Brutian. For this installment of Artists we Love, Lika chats with us about her process. Some of Lika’s moody depictions of women are so on-point in the realm of fashion, we weren’t sure whether to feature this artist here or in our Fashion Crush series or in both – you be the judge! Read on and be inspired by her poignant images – we sure are!

Santa’s on vacation, resting up before his big night! Allow us to mix a bit of turquoise seas and white sands with the ol’ holiday spirit. We’ve noticed that often we just can’t help going tropical in our Holiday imagery. And why not? It’s the time of the year when all of us could use a sunny escape, most of all the likes of Santa! Here’s a little pictorial from Mexico to get you ready for a white Christmas, or you know, book that trip to Bora Bora. Let your imagination fly with us (first class, of course). Enjoy the vacation slides and happy holidays!

It’s all about that even tan and boyancy! Grab your “Caribbean Santa” in our shop, available here. Read More

It’s an open secret around here that, besides watercolors, we’re more than obsessed with… can you guess it…? Fashion! Truth be told this company was started (and let’s face it, runs) in-between Masha (a closeted stylist of some acclaim) changing into ever-more outrageous outfits. So we’re dying to introduce you to a new series in which we get to uncloak this passion – Fashion Crush! First up, an interview with our friend from Masha’s homeland, the lovely Valery Kaufman. You might know her as the current face of Saint Laurent. Read on to discover how this hard-working, rapidly rising star got there, what she reads and her obsessions. Hint: there are leg-warmers involved.
