animaux adorables

i might need to drop out of art school and get a job where i can play with cute animals all day.
i'm sure i'd be really good at it.





too cute. I'm at home dreaming of all those pets i need cause i'm soooooo ssiiiccck today. and yesterday. and the day before that. nononononononono fun at all.



who ever reads this- please tell me where you live, and if you love it! Kyle and i are trying to pick a place to move, or maybe just stay here in minneapolis. Soooo where is it? is it awesome? importantly, is it affordable?

new bangs, best commercial ever

I was terrified times a million to get my bangs cut, but I think they turned out nice! The Aveda Institute in minneapolis is probably the best place on earth to get your hair cut.
here's why:
The students cut your hair, but they're all awesome and are watched by their instructors
A cut and style with your student ID card is only $11.50
They massage your scalp...kind of awkward, but good
They offer you free tea!
And they get you lip moisturizer for free and the end too !
oh and it smells really nice in there too.

I saw this beautiful Dior commercial (directed by the beautiful sophia coppola) a month or so ago on television. If you haven't seen it, you must! I'm dying to have everything in it.



too brilliant!

what are your plans for valentines day??

pink sugar lumps

It's strange how art school is supposed to spark creativity, when i feel like what it's doing is taking all my time away from making what i actually want. all these good ideas and no time. hmm!

you can watch some wonderful criterion collection movies here for FREE http://www.theauteurs.com/criterion if you didn't already know! kyle and i were excited to find that yesterday.

first post!

sooo i've been wanting to start this little blog forever, and i'm glad i finally got around to it. i'll be posting artwork, fashion, films, inspirations and everything in between (:

the photos are from my most recent project for Media class... they fit along with this passage by John Cage:

A Chinaman
(Kwang-tse
tells)
went to
sleep

and dreamt
he was
a butterfly.



Later, when
he awoke,

he asked
himself,

“Am I a
butterfly

dreaming
that I am
a man?”

http://www.lcdf.org/indeterminacy/ has all of Cage's passages. Some are hilarious and some are beautiful...
take a look see!
