nice find: Carlton Scott Sturgill
I'm really digging these porny pixelated paintings by Carlston Scott Sturgill made up of Ralph Lauren Paint chips. I'm assuming they comment on class issues, suburbia and sexuality but I just really like the way they look.

I love: Tippi
I really want this book:
In 1990, Tippi Degr̩ daughter of Alain Degr̩ and Sylvie Robert, a couple who chose to relinquish their lives in France for the freedom of nature in Southern Africa Рwas born in the newly independent Namibia. Her parents worked as freelance wildlife photographers and film makers.
Tippi Degré grew up living in close contact with wild animals, including elephants, leopards and ostriches, who treated Tippi as one of their own.The animals allowed Tippi to cuddle them, dance with them, and ride on their backs.
I wish I rode ostriches when I was little.

lofting in Boston
Boston city compass $5 Kikkerland
I've been slightly hesitant to make this post in concern that these images will further encourage my bf to want to move back to Boston. While helping my pal from Heist jewelry apartment hunt in bean town I was reminded of all the amazing converted factory lofts in New England. Charm and character is one thing I miss here in Miami . Lofts are so grand and looking at these places is getting me increasingly sad that I don't live in a vintage candy factory or piano guild.

A few things that I love about lofts:
nooks, raw wood and crawl spaces
Huge closets, shiny ducts and dark walls
exposed brick, grand rooms and pillars
open plans, slick floors and built-ins
modern bathrooms
dramatic stair cases and WINDOWS!!!
But I'm not going to kid myself, one of the main reasons I'd ever want to move back to Boston is Uppercrust Pizza and Boca Grande burritos.

apartamento
Not that I need to love another magazine that I don't have time to read but I'm eager to check out Apartamento-an everyday life interiors magazine recommended by my friend Tiffany. She just shared her interior space for me melodia and I trust her eye. Based on these shots I'm sure the mag is insightful with an interesting perspective on real life design.

weekday link yumminess
Here are a few little things that made my week enjoyable:
- overdose furniture by Bram Boo
- Uggs won hot slut
- knotted up high boots
- this HH Easter display
- discovering print club London
- this lady
- big dipper-wax chandeliers
- being introduced to vi.sualize bookmarking
- Art Spiegelman article
- classy and cool wedding invites
- Retrozone
- the tacky housewives of NJ bravo preview
- jaded hipster owl
- And this adorable little bastard:
wooden clutch
I don't normally "shop" at museum gift stores but this wooden clutch found at the moma is sleek and artistic without being too art-mom and hippie-ish. I want to forever avoid being that lady with the Van Gogh totebag and beaded eyeglass lanyard.

Ugh...
I know this is going to be posted EVERYWHERE but I just couldn't help my self. I'm totally flipping out over the beauty, simplicity and symbolism. It's totally an I wish I thought of that moment. I love redundancy and suitcases. I want this in my house right now!

(Pack Daddy's Suitcases)
The title comes from an old Swedish rhyme and refers to the difficulty of repeating the same thing several times. This time, the repetition lies in differently sized suitcases that fit perfectly inside one another, and thus lose their original purpose.
