What i listened to this morning...

Meg White - Ray LaMontagne

I Still Care for You - Ray LaMontagne

Your New Man - Mason Jennings

Never Knew Your Name - Mason Jennings

Stranger Into Starman - Aimee Mann

My Best Friends...

Ashley and Scarlett got married this weekend. They looked fabulous all weekend long, these were just my favorite outfits ;)

OMFG...

That white material looks like they threw a baby panther in the air and it landed in embroidered cashmere!

Tobbogan shutes...

Todd Saunders & Tommie Wilhelmsen

I saw this a while back, in college...stumbled upon it again in a blog...forgot how mesmerizing this is... Gives me those chills, like the ones you get right before you go down the toboggan slopes - love that.

Architect of the day...

Davis Design

Alright, so Thom Davis did it....He made my Tuesday and it is 8:01am. This house just made me giddy for the first time in a while about the profession i question often - my own - architecture. Maybe it is because i just watched that video below and i am feeling the need to fulfill some void of curiousity, but i can't help the obvious. I saw this and i got excited because there is something out there that i have never seen before and at the same time - adore. Should that not be what all artists strive for? Inspiration. What is innovative art without it? Thank you, Thom, for keeping this work engine of mine going a bit longer. For critique's sake though, could you just erase the lone window on the second floor for me? maybe put some birch wood siding to match the fascia board over it all the way down to the ground.


Curious...

half awake...

i can't stop looking at this photograph this morning. desiring displacement most likely...


wasn't until the third look that i noticed the road to the right...wish it wasn't there. c'est la vie.

Remember passing notes?

Couldn't help but laugh when i saw this...


Info that came along with it:
Haiku 4 U
FOUND by Sarah in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I found this on the floor in one of my lecture halls, appropriately enough, during the week we were studying Romanticism.

Case of the Mondays....

I really don't want to go to work....

I would rather be here today, tomorrow, wednesday....


I think i speak for most of us when i say we all need a fucking vacation.

I watched this clip this morning and I threw up a little bit in my mouth...

new d*face work in london...

Artist o' day...

Lee Jang Sub has some pretty pretty stuff...

I have always had a thing for plans of cities, urban design, the beauty of the grid - illuminating it like this really puts the subtle beauty and softness that the hard lines of the imagery needs. I might not know what i am talking about in all actuality. I am preoccupied with the fact that my spacebar key on my keyboard is squeaking every time I press it....how annoying.

56 Leonard St....

Herzog & de Meuron's latest skyscraper on Leanord in NYC. Not sure what I think yet. Some of the images are beautiful, but I think the building starting to deconstruct itself 3/4 of the way up doesn't sit right with me. There is something too simple about the transition that I can't put my finger on. None the less, it is still beautiful, I am still in awe of any architect that can push the limits. Very Moshe Safdie - Habitat 67, no?

I think my favorite part of the entire bldg, and this isn't saying much for the architecture unintentionally, is the Anish Kapoor sculpture on the ground floor. Now THAT is a transition, haha! I love it!

Mmmmmm....shooooooes

Listen, so here is my first blog rule:

1. if i put something retail up on here, i automatically have called it*. you can't go out and get it. a copyright maggie, if you will?

*only if i know you - i don't wanna walk around and catch you wearing the same shit as me ;)


Too pretty to keep to myself....

I am in need of stumbling upon a moment like this...Something that happens to only you, humbling you before you even realize it...


September 28th....

Fleet Foxes fans...

I wish I had you tube when i was this young and enthusiastic...i think my friends and i would just turn the music up in the car and pretend we were being video taped...

"We went out in the forest this morning and recorded this cover of the wonderful song "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" by Fleet Foxes, our favourite band right now. We saw them live this weekend in Sweden and it was absolutely amazing. If you get a chance to see them live don't hesitate for a second!"




Tiger Mountain Peasant Song - Fleet Foxes

New home on dairy farm...

I wonder what kind of glazing she put behind the wood slats? Most of the addition was made with local materials, but I doubt they had some left over glass on the site...milk bottles? haha! None the less, this is gorgeous - I really like the Matta-Clark-esque split that she made such a focal point...
