My <3...This is my nephew Oliver...He loves monsters, scooby-doo (the old ones), and all things halloween...he is awesome.

Inspiration...

Brian Eno...

I just came across this awesome Brian Eno-esque Feather Cape w/Broach at Forever 21 that I am in love with...I will however most likely remove the costume jewelry style broach that comes with it, but once thats gone I think this is a must have piece...and at $39.00 you really cant go wrong...

Raif Adelberg...

Here's a print from Artist Raif Adelberg's recent show titled "Fuck I love you Los Angeles"...




“Take a chance. Don’t worry if you’re gonna offend people. Do what’s in your heart. Do what’s in your head. Do what’s pure to you. When you close your eyes, what do you see? Well, create that.” – Raif

want want...

I love this ring I just found on the online boutique I HATE MONDAYS...It's called the Chris Habana Cage Finger Brace and its $109 dollars...enjoy...xo

muse...

Jennifer Pugh's beauty is inspiring to say the least...She looks so much like a young Vanessa Paradis its not even funny, right down to the gapped teeth and red hair...Reguardless she is absolutly stunning and I can easily see why there's been such a fuss about her...I especially like the photos she did for Lyell's spring 2010 line (all but the top two photos are the Lyell Spring 2010 photos)...xo

Jamie Bochert...

I have the biggest crush on this girl...Jamie Bochert...she is something special...I first noticed her when I saw photos of her and her boyfriend actor Michael Pitt, whom I must say is also a gorgeous specimen...

The above images are from her recent Mandy Coon AW/10 Collection photoshoot...I really cant get enough of her face...its so unique...I just find myself so pleased whenever I begin seeing a face such as hers all over the place...theres something very Patti Smith-esque about her that draws me in...

Hermann Hesse...

"There’s no reality except the one contained within us. That’s why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself."


-Hermann Hesse

"do not stand at my grave and weep"...

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.


-Mary Elizabeth Frye

* I thought I'd share a few of my favorite poems/quotes as of late... Hope you likey... xo

Bona Drag/Samantha Pleet...

I am so in love with this outfit, more so the pants and bathing suit part than the hat and shoes, but thats just me...The top is part of a bathing suit by Samantha Pleet and the bottoms are the "run amok pants" by Samantha Pleet as well...You can find both of the above pieces at Bona Drag...I personally wish they sold the top and bottom of the bathing suit seperatly, but whatevs...xoxo

"Our scars help us to remember the past was real"...

This is the fucking coolest thing I've seen in a very long time...

Now you can get a necklace, ring, earrings, or bracelet modeled after your own scars...
Ive always thought scars to be beautiful and sad, and know they can be worn in the form of jewelry as a sort of badge of honor...
We all have marks that remind us of our past, for better or worse, and web-based jeweler 'It's My Scar' will help you celebrate them. The company turns silver, gold, and platinum wax-cast replicas of any scar into bracelets, rings, earrings, or necklaces. The abstract, delicate, organic-looking pieces start at $200 and are a clever way to showcase your personal badges of honor.
