Hitting a Homer

Twinkle Living

Remember that scene from The Sound of Music?

You know. The one where the tarty nun-slash-governess rips those fussy drapes straight from the rod and transforms them into adorable jumpers for those von Trapp brats.

Well, Wenlan Chia, founder of Twinkle (the cute-as-a-button line of graphic frocks and cocoon-like sweaters) is all about solving a problem like Maria. But instead of converting curtains to clothing, she’s using her fashion sense as inspiration for Twinkle Living, her new home furnishings collection.

It’s about time. How often have you wished upon a star that your printed top were a duvet cover? (Too many to count.) Now, you can get your hands on geometric-print pillows, dreamy sheet sets, and bed throws, with more linens and things (like work-of-art rugs) rolling out as we speak.

As for that list of favorite things, a cashmere-wool-blend dancing unicorn blanket beats raindrops on roses any day.
