New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn has come under a lot of fire lately for…well, doing her job really. First, Lady Gaga had a go at her from the pages of V Magazine. Then, Ms. Horyn put together her list of not-to-miss shows this season and in doing so, upset quite a few designers {via New York Times and WWD}

We’ve all had times where we’ve wanted to say something to someone and have held back, only to let the moment pass us by. We often forget these as we go about our lives, but Sophie Blackall’s whimsical illustrations are for the times we remember these moments and how they made us feel.
Taking postings from the ‘Missed Connections’ section on Craig’s List, Sophie has transformed them into evocative watercolors which “have recurring themes of love, loss, regret and hope. Even the most grim postings have this little kernel of unflagging hope which is just so lovely and optimistic. I think that is what appeals to other people, too”, she said to the New York Times.
Luckily for us, Sophie’s work – which was first displayed on her blog – gained popularity. The lovely prints are now for sale and look out for her book ‘Missed Connections: Love, Lost & Found’ which will be out later this month.

Ack! ‘Round 7pm or so… I was browsing the shelves and saw you on the other side. I swear I glimpsed our entire future together in that brief moment. It was beautiful. And then someone asked you for the time. I mean c’mon, who doesn’t have a damn time-telling device of some sort these days! Oh, if only I’d thought of that.

When I put your coat collar up to protect you from the cold…on the corner of E Houston and Bowery…and I looked in your eyes…I was very tempted to kiss you…but I don’t steal women from other men…still…I was tempted…

How did you get those bruises? I wouldn’t let anything happen to you. You were reading some book, and taking notes. I read a book once.
