HOPE FOR THE FLOWERS

Hope for the sun, hope for the sea, hope that I might actually want to L-I-V-E live again some day (so maybe I'm being a bit dramatic, but still.) Thank you, Margaret Howell.

MEET KIRSTEN

I have to admit that, after seeing Somewhere right before leaving town, I'm officially jumping on the Elle Fanning bandwagon. Besides being a very talented young actress, it doesn't hurt that she:
a) bears eerie resemblance to my second favorite American Girl, and
b) has awesome hair, which in the above photo reminds me of these soon-to-be-reissued Robert Clergerie shoes.

NEW YEAR/NEW LOOK

2011: time for a clean break. I've been wanting to change the layout of this blog for what feels like a very, very long time now, and over the last few days I finally sat down and got to properly hacking away at some serious html. It's still not perfect, not by a long shot, and I still need to go back and re-format as many posts as I can stand (a project worthy of SEVERAL rainy afternoons, to be sure...) but I feel so much better already! Now we've got some space to move around, ya know? No more bumping elbows, knocking knees. I feel like standing on my tippy toes and shoving some jazz hands at the sky!

In the spirit of transformations, I bring you a photo of two dudes dressed as Ana Wintour and Grace Coddington, respectfully, from Candy Magazine found via frockwriter. Not too shabby, not too shabby at all.
