hot fun in the summa time

so the summer is coming to an end, although i still have almost a month until i resume classes again. just a few things that i've been browsing--

1] the necklaces at mctega are fun and fabulous. a collaboration between two former students (one pre-med, one microbiology). the result is a start of a wonderful jewelry line. i looooove organic chemistry and i would die for one of their carbon chain necklaces...view them here.

2] this strange lamp screams my name and i desperately want it in my apartment. from the design blog.

3] severin koller -- some fabulous street photography. there is so much to look at, he has a wonderful eye for everything.

4] i'm in love with william hundley [here.] 

i am new to the blogging sphere and think that the people out there have such great style. as i am a student, i have yet had the experiences that i wish i had, and i am completely unorganized, with about 200 gb of unedited photos just waiting for me. i am also indecisive, so when i get to editing these photos, i change them over and over and end up with 5 copies of the same photo saved in 5 different spaces on my computer. i also save every picture i find on the internet that i like, which is a dilemma after a while with hundreds of photos and having no idea where i got them. one of my goals right now is to get organized and settled. 

fm banier

i have been a fan of francois-marie banier for a while and have recently ran into his advertising campaign with diane von furstenburg and model natalia vodianova. his work is stunning. you can find his artwork here, and his advertisements in magazines like vanity fair and also here. 

trippin'

here are a few things i ran across the last few days. i have trouble organizing my photos, so they're random...

my friend is visiting and we made a few trips. one to port townsend, wa. one of my favorite towns in the pacific northwest--so far at least. we will be heading to portland, which i am excited for. lots of photo ops coming. 

a little bit of this

these are some really cute pics of michelle williams from the nylon magazine website. her outfits are particularly adorable, as is she.

there are more fabulous pics on their webpage here.

i desperately want these frye paige cuff boots from urban outfitters...

more later...it's late.

happy

i love this song. i have forever. and i just found the video to it. it is exactly what i would want to do with that as the soundtrack.

And this video and song are also on my fav list right now. so strange, but i love her and him. or rather she & him. 

i am reading pride & prejudice right now. i love the most recent movie so i finally thought i should read it. plus, its jane austen...

the house

so right now im stuck in the mountains, with no friends nearby and trees all around me. i really love it out here but being out here for this long is making me long for the city, and dislike it out here more and more everyday. and i dont want that to happen. so i've made it my duty to find all the beautiful things that i love, and that no one else notices. here is one of my favorite photos from this adventure so far.

the woman

Shes beautiful, modern and not quite like anyone else. 

There's an inner knowing and ease about her. A 

Confidence. A comfort. She calms the chaos and
invigorates the mundane. She sparkles when she

talks, when she listens. Maybe shes in love, maybe 

shes just happy. Shes the new classic woman, sensual 

and ever so in love with life.

life

"life is about the choices we make, the relationships we have, the time we spend and how we spend it. life has many opportunities to feel, both love and loss, to feel hatred and sorrow as well as compassion and happiness. life is about what we want and what we need. to make a difference, good or bad, to someday leave this world having made your mark. 'all the worlds a stage and the men and women are merely players, they have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his life will play many parts.'"
