Beauty, Pt. II.

These flowers look like they've just woken up from a peaceful slumber and are stretching while a beam of sunlights warms them. A yawn escapes, and then they're ready to start their day.

Ch ch ch ch check it out. Can never have enough.

All Good Things.

Bob Willoughby turned 80 years old last year, and decided that it was about time for him to release many of his prints that had never been showcased by galleries. So, as we do these days, he put them up on a flickr account. I really like this picture of Audrey Hepburn he posted. Somehow it feels like we're looking through a keyhole into her world, and her world is so bizarre and beautiful. Of course Audrey Hepburn's life includes calmly feeding baby deer and huge bouquets of flowers.

What We Eat in the Summertime.

A Breather.

Sometimes my head needs a whole lot of nothing to clear itself. The most expansive amount of that nothing for me is in Vermont. I sit atop large rocks in the middle of wildflowers looking out into a valley spotted by red barns. Take long walks that amble throughout fields and densely packed trees. I sit in a kitchen while a cat purrs on my lap. Horses play in a field and there is green all around me. So much, yet nothing at all. Life feels correct in Vermont, i think they're onto something. Someday i will be there for a while.

The First Few Weeks of Summer.

How Things Have Been.

Clicking on my own blog to see how it was looking these days made me realize that there is a serious lack of words on the page. I thought that perhaps i should remedy that now, as i sit here not quite sure if i want to combat the rain just yet. Here is a list of what has happened last time i talked about life. 

• I graduated from college, and it feels pretty strange to think about never being able to say i'm an undergrad again. It doesn't feel very final though since i'm heading straight to London for grad school in the fall. 
• I still have endless dentist appointments. Tip for the year: don't knock your teeth out. It's just not fun. 
• I moved into a little studio in the East Village and for the first time in my life i have a place completely alone. No strangers to see awkwardly in the morning before work and no one to walk in on watching tv when you come in late at night. Just a place to be all my own, filled with all of the things that i love. 
• I started the last few months (until i leave for the UK) of my job that i've had for three years. This probably feels the most bizarre, especially because i realized that this is one of the most flexible amazing jobs in the world. I get my own office in the city, can take as many vacations as i want, and get flown places to catalogue art. 
• I had an amazing barbeque with all of my friends at home after school ended, and it gave me the closure to school that i needed. Nothing beats whiffle ball, cupcakes, lots of sangria, hots dogs and sparklers. 
• I found an apartment in London with a friend who is also going to the Courtauld, which reduces my stress levels immensely. 
• I got fingerprinted at a scary building for my visa.

Those are all of the big things. Of course there are the small things like finding a nice neighborhood bar, spending way too much on summer dresses that will be used for picnic-ing in the park and eating lots of Two Boots pizza... and there you have it.

Little Things.

Life.

Famous Friends.

It's always crazy to see people you're friends with come up in the blog circuit that you read. It's like a little gift to begin your day as you're catching up on all of the latest blog news. This morning i was greeted on two separate occasions by this on two very different blogs. One fashion, one music. It will never get old. (Photo by Peter Lippmann & Kasabian video)
