a dreary day with notions from far+wide.

i've been introduced to a new favorite brit!!! and now i introduce to you, miss chrissie abbott! not only is she besties with my besties over at righteous plaisant, but she is a PHENEMENOL artist, who's on this side of the pond making it happen with her skilled artistry+beautiful face. check out her blog, clouds and monsters (i can't seem to get her website working but it's here.)

i got stuck on the internet all night last night+the last thing i looked at before bed was jean- baptiste mondino's facebook page..don't ask it was 6 in the morning. (yikes) but i liked these 2 shots. now, you may have noticed, i'm not one for studio fotos but he definitely captured heir karl in action, which seems difficult, as he's quite literally always buttoned up..+as for miss thang. well she's awesome(+ honestly it paired well with chrissie's work)..

seriously considering this liberty printed situation for my summer swim bath (xabi's term)..i think it would look quite nice in mallorca+maine.

this fiona paxton gal is getting me jazzed on her neckware. someday soon i'm gonna get some to add to the collection...(maybe i'll even ask for one for my 30th bday in october.)

y'all know i love a romp in a romper+this one from a.WANG would be totally righteous with the moto. (but because of the moto+the majorca, i won't be getting it)
i really need to start quilting+making zines+this guy looks like it could do the job. AND look good as i ponder diy.
tavi reminded me that it was miss edie's birthday yesterday..this shiny little smokestack had the earring collection, i covet more than anyone, ever.
these alexander wang for superfine are what i've been looking for. a loosey goosey situation for the waist ('cause let's get real, i've been eating+drinking too much..+the whole salad thing has lost it's appeal) paired with skinny bottoms for my best half...but sadly the price is not so nice..so, might have to employ the genius's at C&D i.e. claire and dustin to sort something out for me with a pair of bdg jean?
june.june.june.june.june.june.june.june.june.june.june.june.june.june.june.coming soon...
just seems like a good idea. i love pictures+lil'edie..seems like a perfect reference guide.
i just adore this picture made by ADF in collaboration with the most delightful enthusiast.
he needs to shoot more, but he knows i feel that way.

+ lastly this skirt. which has been hovering on my desktop with no where to go, for weeks. i can't recall where it's from but i love the textiles, so there.
also, see here and here for creamsicle flavored a.p.c. items i love but can't drag off the site.

c'est tout.

now i need to go do real work on the COURT catalogue...

i can't help myself from my guilty pleasures.

+i'm tivo-ing for anyone who can't.

i had a perfect new york day. +night,.

i want to own this to have in my home.

*we've finalized the image edit.
*the layout for hanging the work is sorted.
*nicole's main man, dave, is going to hang the pictures.
*we decided on boxes..i know where to get that done! (maybe you didn't know: i hate frame shops- for some reason, they really intimidate me)
*sari is going to help me with my remedial photoshop (+if we get ambitious we'll make a zine version of this hardcover, as seen above).
*************************************************************************************

what's not to like about a sunset.

now, i've been thinking about pink manic panic a lot lately..(as i've told a few of you).
imagining something hidden, a petite surprise in my hippy locks..but i gotta say, i would like her ginger pixy for the day, to try out this look...whick kinda reminds me of the lip-do the enthusiast wrote about a few weeks ago..as seen below.

top foto by mr. facehunter, bien sur...
bottom foto, no idea, i borrowed it from kat

like a fish in a bowl..i go circles for hours.

editing is tricky yo.

i'm curious, which juxtaposition do you like?
(comment por favor)
gracias loves.

mad for moto

1.
2.
3.1. day date: A.P.C. moto/acne corset wedges/antipodium T/samma necklace/kate moss for topshop jeans/vintage star earring

2.dossier+house party: same as above with acne high waisted mini/h+m over the knee's

3.easter lunch+babysitting: topshop oxford/vintage bag/h+m skinnies/samma necklace/ minnetonka booties

i was being pretty good about the austerity program until last week. but what with a samma sample sale+the highly anticipated topshop opening+my dream moto**..what's a gal (read:shopaholic) to do? i mean, honestly..

**which i've been thinking+dreaming of since mid january-which is the longest time i've ever slept on anything..it was destined to be mine. i mean, you might ask, how was it still there in the super regular size 38 after all this time? the silly people in LA weren't buying so they sent it here..where my gal heather was able to swing a pretty awesome discount, booyea!

p.s.can you believe the only thing i bought at my innaugural visit to topshop last week was an oxford?? i certainly surprised myself.. but i have to say i've been living in it!

the flower is still in full bloom and you know me well enough to know i will have it for always.

missing you mi amor.

i'm into the look, the language, and those frickin boots.
i'll take it all from spring thru fall.

(video genius found at gnarlitude..thanks jen for the radical tuesday tip off)

spring is springing, time for some of this:

i love these amazing blue wedge boots from mini market. though i gotta say, i am both sad+glad that they're sold out in my size (i need to save up for my upcoming topshop stop)...
+ these rings by timothy liles come in a pack of rainbo colors..i love a packaged set of anything+crayons come in handy. dontcha think they could for brunch time illustrating at egg.. hmm..

tonight...

so many places to go..but one sure thing is: john waters at marianne boesky gallery

chikara umihara graduated from the icp general studies program with me+xabi in 2007. since then he has been diligently working in the realm of mitch epstein+stephen shore. he's stuck in tokyo trying to get his visa sorted but for now his survey of american life can be viewed on his newly relaunched website..
