Oysters and cocktails are among my favorite things to consume.
Hennie Haworth does them tasty justice.
Is it horrible to be fantasizing about happy hour at 11am?

my new photo crush

I hope you enjoy Abigail McKenzie's watercolor unmentionables as much as I do this hump day. I hate to admit it but I'm a tad boring in the undergarment department. These sexy bits have inspired me to browse etsy for cute, frilly, foreplay inducers.

I love when artists let us peek into their sketch books. Donya Todd

water receding

Fortunately things are drying up. It doesn't look like I'll need a swim cap for my ride home.
But, I can still bust my gut over Javier PiƱon's flood collages.

Inappropriate for m-f wear?

underwater

I love that I stumbled upon Melissa Furness and her Baths Series today. I really like her playful abstract style. Her paintings have so much life in them. I hope my day doesn't end up looking like these scenes though.
I'm concerned my apartment will be underwater this evening. Anyone who's ever lived on South Beach knows it gets completely submerged when heavy rains come. A few weeks ago we were knee deep in stank sewer water and I was stuck in bridge traffic for several hours due to the flooding. I picture myself swimming home with a crowd of 9-5ers. Check out our soggy forecast:

Pinned

balloons, inflatable kiddie pool, helium;2009
This Adam Parker Smith piece pretty much sums up my stifled spirit right now. I'm back from my short yet sweet weekend Bahama cruise family get away. It was cute but very over the top in cruise ship cliche. I really shouldn't complain because I had a nice time with my fam and bf. What is worth complaining about is the fact that I had to come into work today straight from the port. I feel totally pinned down and depressed to be sitting in this fluorescent lighting when 24 hours ago I was floating on an inflatable raft sipping piƱa coladas.
The fun has been officially corralled.

A book shelf like the one at O.H.W.O.W. my favorite creative space in Miami.
Our House West Of Wynwood
This beautiful use of space and geometry blows my future texture wall out of the water.
