so sleepy

adorable dude. i'm in love.

recent inspiration

paz lenchantin, argentinian born bassist of the entrance band. beautiful, soulful, mesmerizing. 

charles r. jackson's the lost weekend. this is a still from the movie, but it's the book that got me- what an account of alcoholic desperation, loneliness, creative desire and failure. 

kerouac. always inspirational, but currently desolation angels is really getting to me. his urgent tangled prose and wild existential declarations stir up dormant nomadic desires.

others: 

evasion. hate it, love it, but somewhere among the protagonist's affected rejection of all things capitalistic i feel a connection to that lack of interest in the traditional life path. i can feel myself helplessly journeying farther into "career" and can't seem to remember when that first decision was made. [in the same thought i know it's no accident; only i have put myself here and only i can make a change]. i don't think this is negativity in the present, no, it's more of a desire to move out of this stasis into variety and creativity.

dominion. i'm not sure if i've gotten into veganism on this blog yet, but i'm sure if you've seen me lately it's been discussed. this book was one of the things that nudged me into making the decision to live more compassionately. human consumption of resources has become so harmful; our mass existence on this earth is destructive beyond my comprehension. veganism's inherent simplicity and care feels so right for me; the beauty in cooking with natural, fresh, animal-product free foods is constantly exciting, more than any engineered, processed concoction will ever be. [don't knock it till you've tried it. come over and i'll cook you dinner!]

for some masochistic reason i'm watching shoes on ebay that are far beyond my reach, namely jil and chloe. maybe i'll settle for some dingo action. actually, i'm all about those boots. a similar pair will soon be on my feet. 

diff-rint.

i can't stop watching this! someone please buy it for me here.

that button up shoulderless denim shirt needs to get in my closet.

summer in the city

I'm moving this week into a lovely new house; the roommate and I have been painting up a storm to give it that homey touch, despite it being a rental. It's sure to be a bit nutso knowing our personalities and different design aesthetics, but will be nothing less than interesting. As she said when we made the decision to carry the light olive green from the living room halfway into the kitchen, "It's ok, we're not normal anyways". 

I'm trying to find time to work on the jewelry but just can't seem to get it going! I ordered earring findings to start new styles in that direction, but what I really want to do is develop my necklaces further. Hopefully once we're settled in for a little while I'll have time to put towards working on that. Until then, all my money's going to lame-o house stuff, like a fridge, washer, and dryer. Not what I want to spend money on at all. 

Anyways, just a heads up that I'll continue to be m.i.a. for some time still; hope you are enjoying your summer as much as I am mine!

magic mushrooms

making stirfry for lunches this week! delicious and cheap.

so busy lately packing, painting, and working oh my. love it.

loot.

silly photobooth bedroom floor shoot. 

can i just say i LOVE flea markets? total score this weekend. 

i may part with some on ebay once i get that set up, because as much as i love each and every one of them, i really don't need three more pairs of brown lace-ups. i'll give them all a shot, though, at least until i have to move and consolidate a bit. if anyone's interested in a pair let me know and maybe we could work something out! they're all sizes 7-8 ish. 

sisters.

oh youth.

this weekend was all i could have wanted: 

live music, parties, flea markets, beautiful weather and starry city rooftops. 

i'm so content. 

a.w.

i.love.you.

till then... xoxo.
