While browsing for the perfect Buster Bluth image for W&M, I stumbled on the best posting ever:

This is what all fashion blogs should grow up to be. Wit, charm and savvy pop culture reference go a long way with me. Isabella has a new blog lurker. I love Magazine Machine.

Today's to-do list:

1. organize the bedroom
2. get car washed
3. bang trim
4. buy makeup remover
5. long over due post office visit

I desperately need some makeup removing wipes. I've been looking ghoulish in the mornings.

Dying.

Dying.

Dying is an art,
like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well.
I do it so it feels like hell.
I do it so it feels real.
I guess you could say I've a call.

Sylvia Plath

Bad speech habit #3
Obnoxiously saying "I'm dying" at every single small animal and/or highly sought after accessory.
Example:

"Omfg, I'm dying, dying!"
&

"I'm dying for that glove clutch."

It's been a long while since I had the time to get lost on the internets and curate some links.
Sit back and enjoy my idle time.

ringl+pit

Ellen Auerbach and Grete Stern met in 1929 while they were studying photography with Walter Peterhans, the first photography professor at the Bauhaus school in Germany. Together, they sought to challenge the expectations of their class, culture, and gender, establishing an advertising photography studio during the fragile political climate of the Weimar Republic. The name of the studio was derived from their respective childhood nicknames, ringl (Grete) and pit (Ellen).Pioneers in their field, Auerbach and Stern embraced the spirit of social liberation, economic upheaval, and mass media, becoming recognized for the subtle subversion of conventional depictions of women in advertising. International prizes followed quickly on the heels of their financial success. However, their collaboration was cut short when the Nazis rose to power, forcing the two friends to flee Germany — Grete to England and Ellen to Palestine.The circumstances of the war separated them for ten years. Ellen Auerbach traveled extensively, settling in New York City and continuing her artistic career. Grete Stern made Buenos Aires her new home and became one of the most influential figures in photography in Argentina. Auerbach and Stern remained lifelong friends.

Sneak into your favorite hotel's spa.

Can you hear my insane cackling?

Eeek! I gifted myself this depression-era fox fur shrug from safeasmilkvintage (cutest shop name ever).
I can't wait to meet this furry fellow! Check out that face and coloring. I'm going to wear the hell out of this woodland friend.

Dandy Gum

inspiration: hip grandparents

I'm so moved by this photograph of my boyfriend's grandparents. I framed and hung it on our picture wall yesterday, and I can't get it out of my mind. They look so cool and effortless. I love Nana's Mona Lisa grin and Grandpa's devilish smirk. I want to recreate this shot with our close friends. Style wise this photo is killing it, I wouldn't mind owning a few inspired pieces:

Alexander McQueen Chunky Buckle Sweater & hand made cloche from yellowfielda yummy little Derringer cycle,
and incorporate a piece I already own and love:

the adorable bow leather driving gloves I am tempted to put on every single morning.
