INTERIOR SOLUTIONS

anyone who knows me knows that i am a terrible mover. i have lived in my "new" apartment for a year and still have managed to not unpack a few boxes. it doesn't help that ROB and i are terrible pack rats with bad stacking tendencies ( piling magazines, papers, receipts, you name it). but, now that we have decided to stay here another year, i am going to get the ball rolling on finishing it up. it's a lovely apartment with vintage moldings and built-ins and i need to celebrate it! until then all of these images are inspiring me to be better at living in my space.

images from HOME IS WHERE THE COUCH IS, ROSE GOLDEN and various other places around the internet.

STELLLLLAAA

stella mccartney proves time and time again that any shape or pattern or color looks great as long as it's tailored to perfection.

COVER IT

cover songs are always tricky. a really good cover of a song can make you re-think the original version and/or even replace it. this is a video of maxwell's this woman's work which is an original song by kate bush. maxwell sounds like an angel. there's such a sensitivity and gentleness to the way that he handled the song. almost like more of a tribute than trying to change it into something it shouldn't be. when i hear this song i become transfixed, not distracted by it not being the original.

DON'T GOOGLE YOURSELF...

or do because you never know what you will find. i found this image of a small series of drawings i did based on the catcher in the rye 3 years ago. i actually have no idea where these drawings are. i have since moved 3 times since making them. let's hope they're still in one of those boxes i have deemed unable to unpack due to procrastination.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

are you serious olsen twins? so far, they seem to have done no wrong with their clothing line- THE ROW (even their website is clever) i never thought about wearing fur before until i saw that striped fur jacket. whuck?!

DREAM CLOTHES

wishlist of a dream wardrobe from the beautiful maryam nassir zadeh. all of this awesomeness is on sale, too!

THE IN- BETWEENS

these are all looks from chloe's latest resort line. i was sad to hear that hannah macgibbon has left chloe because i felt like it had hit it's stride again. but this resort collection was designed in between head designers and it seemed like a greatest hits of the line. i would wear any of these looks any day. they are great shapes, interesting textures and what i think of as new basics. now, let's get it going with an unlimited budget and all of these looks in my closet. good luck to hannah macgibbon wherever she ends up next!

NEWSHOUNDS UNITE

what's up nerds? (yes i am including myself in this group) in case you haven't picked up a newspaper lately or you have resigned yourself to saving the planet by reading things online, you can now reignite your senses with a new york times inspired scented candle. the smell is being likened to one of my favorite papers of all time, newsprint. i think this is pretty clever. the print nerd in me is going to buy one now. available at the ace hotel gift shop and bond too

COVER IT

not too much to say here. a girl seemingly under duress blanketed in soft color fades. all these things make we want to know more. a beautiful cover on another lovely edition of LULA

A SWANSONG

i was recently in chicago and had an awesome time with some bros. S & J & i kicked it with a little drunk ron swanson. this one's for you guys!
