Dreamcatchers

April 6th, 2010


Two great dreamcatchers in my inbox lately that have resulted in me getting down with this trend coming back.

Lighten up

April 6th, 2010

This warm weather lately has me feeling almost ready to switch over to airy, light colored clothing. All the new items at Pixie Market (top) and Ramona West Vintage (bottom) egging me on.

Music Monday

April 5th, 2010

Thirty seconds into this bittersweet, gorgeous, string-filled Nina Nastasia song, and I knew it was my kind of jam. My only complaint is that it’s too damn short.

And while we’re on the topic of girls with awesome voices, can we talk about how awesome this St. Vincent video is? Oh so weird and hilarious. She is too much cute. (as is Fred Armisen, of course.)

Bits Of My Weekend

April 5th, 2010

ahhhh yes
chubby lil sammich
shoes, basking
the incredible limbless cat
the view from bushwick
sattelite sea
bushwick sunset
out of retirement
lazer face
roof grilling
oh hello again
on the dock
LIC magic
the hunt is over
praticing for summer
oh yes I did

A rooftop barbecue in Brooklyn Friday, a bed-ridden boyfriend Saturday lead to me painting the office alllll day and eating diner delivery in bed (french toast and french fries, of course), a walk to the water in bare legs Sunday. A gloriously warm and relaxing weekend – the windows were never closed, a coat barely worn. I thought I’d do something different and keep my yammering short today:) But as always, you can click on the photos for slightly more info on flickr.

Happy Friday!

Hello friends, I know I’ve been spotty with Friday posts lately, but I think I may do away with them and replace them with something more fun, I just haven’t quite figured it out yet. If you haven’t noticed I like to keep things casual here and fly by the seat of my pants.

I wanted to tell you all that the big jewelry project I’m working on has had it’s deadline extended by two months, and I honestly could not be happier about that – I thought I might tear every hair on my head out. But don’t worry, I’m cooking up a regular shop update for May in place of it, probably with lots of brass drops and ombre braided necklaces, maybe something new if I can get my act together! For now I’m just so happy to have some free time again, especially with gorgeous weather upon us. A barbecue tonight, a visit to the beach perhaps this weekend. I hope yours is relaxing and sun-filled as well!

ps. you have to check out Afton’s photos from her beach camping trip. They’re fantastic and jealous-inducing. Oh, those colors…

For the boys

April 1st, 2010

See, I’m not all girly love here. I love everything about Whillas & Gunn – the textures, the color palette, the styling and mood of these photos, the um… well, hell, let’s not kids ourselves – the models are a plus.
