things i'm in love with

this week has been insanity. ups and downs, and working hours and hours a day. i don't remember the last time i sat, for the sake of sitting. funny how we create our own destiny, isn't it?
things i'm in love with this week. 
the amazing art from the major lazer/pharrel collab video. so. good.

this amazing series on cup of jo, by artist emily mcdowell. 

i could watch this gif for hours (by hannah stouffer)

this amazing and wonderful commencement address, from george saunders. 
"One day she was there, next day she wasn’t. End of story. Now, why do I regret that? Why, forty-two years later, am I still thinking about it? Relative to most of the other kids, I was actually pretty nice to her. I never said an unkind word to her. In fact, I sometimes even (mildly) defended her. But still. It bothers me. So here’s something I know to be true, although it’s a little corny, and I don’t quite know what to do with it: What I regret most in my life are failures of kindness. Those moments when another human being was there, in front of me, suffering, and I responded . . . sensibly. Reservedly. Mildly."

to being artistic, honest, energetic and spacious.... and. KIND. happy weekend. 

things i'm in love with

this week has been nutso. i'm coming off of 8 days of work straight, and totally basking in a friday off. it's a dreamland in my opinion.
just some things i'm in love with this week.

this is my idea of perfect health and gangsta mixed into one.


this song has been my jam this week. i play it non stop to get ready in the morning... i feel like it leaves me with something to get me through the day. a bit house, a bit throaty vocals. it's all amazing.


as a reminder that all around is us a beautiful dreamland - in the smallest places, where we so rarely take the time to notice.... the most amazing photo project of snails, and the ways in which they make our simple world seem so magical.

this article by chuck klosterman, on the legends that are KISS. sent to me by a former colleague (and still current friend), it speaks to the legends, the business men, the enigmas that are the members of KISS. and why we can't help but acknowledge their genius.

this INCREDIBLE key lime smoothie from vega. drooling and such.

happy weekend-ing everyone! i recommend using 'here for you' as your soundtrack, and it WON'T be a bad one.

things i'm in love with

this week has been weird. i've indulged in several conversations about loves / hates, and all that comes along with a feeling of discontent. and, as such, my mind is reeling - throwing back and forth between those things.
i find when i'm in a mood like that, i end up settling on things - music, art, etc. - that mirror that.
some things i'm in love with this week.
doesn't matter how many photography series i see of children around the world with their belongings, in their homes, or where they sleep... i'm in love with the diversity of them all. it always brings something to mind, for what is missing in our global education. so, obviously, i'm totally in love with
james mollison's project, 'where children sleep'. beautiful and dignified portraits of children from many walks of life, and where they find solitude and safety enough to submit to sleep.

this piece on leather as the perfect wardrobe piece.

and then, music like this.... meloncholy, unsettling, strangly haunting music. one of my faves from long ago.

happy weekend everyone

things i'm in love with

i'm feeling like i'm finally catching up a bit - financially, emotionally, physically (in sleep, specifically).... which is nice, but somehow, despite catching up, i still feel behind. so this weekend i am spending some time filling those gaps - hair done, nails did, er'ything did (that's not true... none of those are being 'did'). 
nevertheless, enjoying the city with some 'cultural events' (read: comedy shows), and beer. dare i say it makes everything better. 
things i'm in love with this week. 
those who know me well, know i'm obsessed with dogs doing people things, or just being abnormally cute. exhibit a. exhibit b. so.... obviously i'm TOTALLY in love with this. obviously. 


I'm super excited to be part of a collaboration at work, with this amazing dance company. and i'm TOTALLY in love with the fact that their show is coming SOON. 

NECO-HIMYM. (read: never enough cast of how i met your mother). neil patrick harris and jason segel sing 'confrontation'. 

that's it this week - mostly because i'm going to go get lost in a neil patrick harris youtube rabbit hole.
happy weekend you juicy peaches. 

things i'm in love with this week

a short one this week. i've managed to cram my week (and weekend) full of things. needless to say, lots of things i'm in love with this week.
i'm totally obsessed with Jemima Kirke's art...

i'm addicted to this video

on that note, i know this is an old video, but i'm reminded of it based on my recent art museum visits, and exploration of public art in this crazy city i now live in. some people hated this, and saw it as a mockery of the art

the lady at 2:12 is such a perfect reminder of what music is all about. and the kids at 3:48. any, in my opinion, anyone who receives praise from marina abramovic is in the ranks.

AND, because weekends are for cute things. dogs. reacting to magic.... prettttty much the same way humans do. heart.


happy weekend!
