simply moving

My roommate Brian Forte over at Please Welcome Your Judges blogged about this moving little video, that actually got me a little emotional.  It's just beautiful and one of the best online videos I've seen in a long time.  Read more about it's production and watch - its worth it:

the coolest apartment in NYC

Has got to be this clock tower apartment.

Amiright?

street artist

I feel overwhelmed by the number of people calling themselves "street artists" these days, especially since Exit Through the Gift Shop came out last year.  Yet I can't help but find moments of wonder and curiosity in their work.  I love this short video WordtoMother at Fame Festival Italy 2010.  Special thanks to my new friend Ben for sending it to me.

studs.

I am so into pretty studs.  Not the man kind (I mean, those, too), but the kind for your ears.  Having almost no earlobes (truth), I don't look great in dangly earrings, so I opt for a pretty stud.  And Ms. Jamie's shop Furbish over at ISuwannee is making me reach for my wallet.  I think I'll bring home these three for summer and beyond.

What do you think?  Too much?

give it to me

Must. Have. Isola. Snakeskin. Bootie.




Please?

paper lanterns

Saw Hangover 2 this weekend and there is this lovely scene where everyone sends off paper lanterns into the air, like this:

I've always loved paper lanterns - they evoke a sense of wonder.  I wish I had a garden to hang some from... If you do, 'tis the season for them!

happy official start to summer

 

It's here, it's here!  My most favorite and the most magical time of the year - SUMMER!  After this brutal winter, we Bostonians absolutely need it.  It's 80 degrees outside and I'm excited for a lovely weekend - kick it off with al fresco drinks, run a half marathon (no big) and hit the beach.  Utter perfection.
