Can I WIN the lottery so I can have a cool house!?

I feel like this would be up in the mountains 
and it's snowing and all freezing outside.
I love the slate white walls and bright colors
vintage touches do wonders.
THIS IS WHAT MY STUDIO WILL LOOK LIKE!
...someones favorite color is obviously fuscia :)

A tiny cottage hidden within trees - a secret place. 
I like this because you don't feel like 
you're in a bathroom - I would want 
to hang out in here haha. I love
the color too.  
FABULOUS couch against the pink.
Another secret place... This ceiling would make me feel like I
am up in the top of a tower. It's very Alfonso Cuaron's Little Princess.

Hope this inspired.
Enjoy

I love my House



J'adore chez moi!
I don't spend a lot of time there though...
I'm always in studio or at the boyfriends place.
It's nice to come home to a creative atmosphere though.
I wish I was there RIGHT NOW!!
I was up and out the door at 6:30am this morning - just awful.
O how I long for my bed and this colorful windowsill...
My roommate has tons of colored glass all over the house...
One blue glass jar is housing rose from Bubba :)
He is too sweet to me, yup.

The Polaroid Kidd.


 
Photography courtesy of Mike Brodie, AKA The Polaroid Kidd!
His images REALLY stood out to me - I think it was combination of many things. The colors in his images, the stories that they tell, and the incredible insight that it gives.

This is a quote from an interview with the photographer :

"Most of these folks were once inhabitants of a small beach side community in Bugress, Maine. Most being adopted children and middle class run-aways. But they're shanty little homes were giving the town a bad image and were forced to be leveled to make room for a blanket of high rise condos. So I guess the handfull of polaroids I have of these people would be the only true documentation of the diaspora of this once thriving group of whatever you want to call em."




The Woods and Graphic Design




Sitting up at the Bartlett Center (Art Building on campus).
I live here.
Im tired and my M&M's didn't satisfy my hunger.
I have thai food waiting for me in my fridge.
I can't keep it company until I am done with this project...
A title sequence for a piece of literature called Roughneck....
Bon Iver's Woods is keeping me company and making me feel something other than the cold screen in front of me...

a Yellow New York City.





So I JUST bought a plane ticket to go to New York in April! It was an early birthday present from my Dad that was VERY MUCH APPRECIATED... Me and Bubba will be going to for about 5 days to look at potential Graduate schools for him - but to also play play play!!!!!! 

I did an internship with Teen Vogue in Manhattan this past Spring and have been looking through all my pictures to pump myself up. I also kept a tiny Moleskin of all the places I fell in love with and wanted to revisit - it will definitely come in handy on this trip! There is this amazing Indian Restaurant I want to go back to - It not only had incredible food but an amazingly fun atmosphere - check it out - www.panna2.com

In the above picture, I am on the balcony of a friend's apartment that I stayed at every once in a while - I lived in a town called Rye that was about 45 minutes upstate New York so it was nice to stay in the city every once in a while. I think I would have had a much different experience if I lived in Manhattan or the surrounding area but my set up in Rye was so cheap that I couldn't pass it up. I spent a lot of time out there on that balcony just thinking and taking everything in. I didn't meet a lot of people while I was there so I had a lot of me time... There were very fun times and very very hard times - I made one good friend named Lizzy O - We interned together at T.Vogue. She was in the photo department and I was in the Art department so we rarely got to hang at work. She basically saved me towards the end of my time there - went out with my on my 21st birthday to a bar in Brooklyn. I am hoping to see her while I am visiting in April - we have kept in touch :) 

I am so excited to be back in that place but with probably my favorite person ever right now, Bubba :) I will have someone to experience everything with... someone to talk to about how amazing everything is instead of just thinking it to myself, it got old being there by myself after a while! ha... CAN'T WAIT!
