Oh yum

Pretty/tasty.

Stills from a short film made by Stéphanie Di Giusto for Vanessa Bruno, starring Lou Doillon. Apparently it wont be released until September (on the internet anyways), but these snaps have gotten me pretty excited. This little gem, plus Neil Krug's Pulp Book, should make for an amazing Fall indeed...

Nature Sandwich

Next time I see someone littering in this city, I will close my eyes, breath deeply, count to ten, and imagine punching them square in the face with one of these.





Oh, and also they are just pretty.

:n )

hot hot hot

I picked up a truly amazing hot pink shorts-romper the other day (or as I now insist on referring to it, "combishorts") and I can't help but think how drop dead awesome it would look with these bright orange shoes...

There ain't no words...

...for the beauty, the splendor, the wonder of my...



I've gotten a few questions about my hair lately, and I thought I'd make a little post to address the inquiries properly! I wish I had some juicy secrets to share with you, but sadly, the only special treatment I lend my locks is that I never, ever blow dry it. It can be a sort of a bitch having to plan showers to allow ample time for air drying, but it really is worth it. Heat is a hair killer!



Also, I do color my hair (and it's getting to be dyin' time again as you can see from the above photo!) My hair is naturally the sort of mousy blondish brown that looks good on pretty much no one, so I give it a kick in the pants with Herbal Essences Bold 'n Brilliant Color in #54 Amber Shimmer. However, it fades pretty fast, so the color that you generally see on my head is not what comes directly out of the box, but a slightly washed out, sun-bleached version.



Other than that, my bath products are kind of a crap shoot. I'm most likely to go for whatever shampoo is on sale and splurge on a slightly nicer conditioner. Right now I'm using this Pantene Nature Fusion stuff which I've been quite pleased with. I don't really use any product, though I used to be obsessed with that John Frieda Ocean Waves spray, until they discontinued it (hence the WTF pricetag!) And I do indeed cut my own hair and bangs, but all that jazz will have to wait for a proper video tutorial...

And just for fun:



A photo from several years ago when I had a really crap rendition of the Jane Fonda shag. It got soooooo much more mullet-y than this before I was finished...

I may not be big on weddings (or at least not the idea of having one of my own), but for some reason I just love this photo. I remember trying to grow lilies-of-the-valley in our garden when I was a kid, but they never survived. They are the most beautiful, delicate little things, aren't they?

I think I just found my calling...

I found a link to this video on Hannah's flickr...and just about died. This place is sort of like the farm I grew up on, times approximately 1,000,000,000!

Hey good-lookin'

Three things I love:
1) Summertime.
2) My hawt friends.
3) When Cass makes my work so much easier for me!

Daytiming

Pretty effing adorable little video from Coconut Records aka Jason Schwartzman (or as I like to refer to him, J'man.)

Also, I found out last night that my other dear friend bought me a Super 8 camera for my birthday! I can't wait to start making movies like this of my own. And I still need to show you guys the one I made in class this winter! It just needs a decent soundtrack, is all...

A pair of pink canaries

Better late than never, right? This is what I wore out on my birthday for Indian food and soft-serve in the rain.



I actually found this dress at Buffalo Exchange during the day on my birthday, and treated myself. It has the sweetest little flower print, which can be seen here on the far left.



In the days between then and now, it has grown progressively hotter, reminding me that I still need shorts and tank tops and all those things that leave as many of my 2000 parts free and exposed to the world. I require ventilation! Also, I got the most amazing package in the mail yesterday:



It's a wonderful feeling knowing that someone out there truly understands just exactly what you love in this world, right down to remembering the weird ceramic bud vase from some tiny store back home you were totally obsessed with last summer. Amazing. Also, the girl hand bleach-painted that skull t-shirt herself. I keep telling her she needs to go into business selling those things! So. Bad. Ass.
