LATELY

4 EYES










































i was surprised with an early christmas present today from wanda... these beautiful frames!
i've been searching for good specs for a while and these are most lovely! my problem is keeping luke away since he also keeps trying them on...

Sunday

HUBBLE












































meet hubble, my other boyfriend. he's wanda's puppy, a standard poodle, and i'm lucky i get to spend my workday with him. he likes it when i dress up and wear pretty clothes. i took him to get a haircut a while back, and asked them to style him a moustache since he's quite debonair, like a british man with elbow patches.

Saturday

UP & AWAY

























off to school for the day, but don't worry, it's going to be a good one.... happy saturday!

BALANCE

























school has been nutty lately with unfortunately late nights and many long 21 hour work days. it's strange. i'm in a supposed creative field, but i'm left with so little time to act upon curiosities... there is no time to read, or to seek out subtle inspirations.

i'm close to the end and i'm thankful for that since i have a hard time finding the right balance between working obsessively and living out life.

i took tonight off and was reminded of how good that is. went out for korean with wanda which was lovely. also had a long and lingering bubble bath and am now about to hop into bed with my laptop to watch a movie.

but i'd be interested to hear if you have any tricks at finding a manageable balance between work and the rest of life. please share if you do...

Wednesday

WEST BROADWAY























































































went out to take pictures of west broadway today.

ANTRHO












































loving the styling in anthropologie's november catalogue so much that it was the third flip through before i started looking at clothes.

(and now that i did, i'll take that mint green dress...)

Tuesday

BISTRO






















































date night for luke's birthday. the company was delicious. so was the food. we ate until we couldn't.


Sunday

young hearts

























don't consider myself to be the craftiest of people, so i'm pretty excited to show you this! it's a gift i made for luke for his birthday. bought the antique flask (supposedly from WWII days) at a flea market and then made the leather cover to wrap around it. think he liked it!


PLUS ONE
























every day should have an extra hour. it's either that or i start waking up earlier.

Friday

GREEN


who knew there'd be times to sit on grass & soak up sun in november!

happy happy!


























happy birthday, leah! miss you terribly... here's us dancing with the strange heads. remember that?
i'm such a dork in this picture (caught with pursed lips and fingers snapping again)
but you look cute, and it's your birthday, so there!

love you, love you!

OPEN UP

had a meeting with my academic advisor today. she reminded me how important it is to be artful and open in the application of design since i sometimes get frustrated at how flat and linear it can be. she's 100% wonderful and a complete inspiration.

above is the work by fabrics interseason found via lena corwin.

Wednesday

PICTIONARY

found this beautiful book today.

OFF

i have the first day off in a long long time ... it's sunny and i'm going out to wander.

on the hit list: a crisp fall bike ride to the park, a good meander through the bookstore, the search for a record or two, a small trip to sephora (always good therapy) and then perhaps a little (just a little) work to cap it all off...


Tuesday

PARTY

oh my word.

found this photo my sister-in-law took of my adorable niece eira (in the pretty pink princess costume) and a few of her halloween buddies. how funny is it that they are all propped up against the wall like that! too much...
