Have A Very Happy Weekend

Bjork's House: I Want It.

Located on an island called Elliðaey near Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland, this house was given to singer, Bjork from her motherland as a “Thank You” for putting Iceland on the international map.

..............I'm officially sick jealous.

How To Tick People Off

I stumbled upon this recently via artlung.com and just had to post. There are days when we all want to do at least one of these things just to get back at someone. I swear I'm going to do #8 the next time a co-worker ticks me off.

1. Leave the copy machine set to reduce 200%, extra dark, 17 inch paper, 99 copies.
2. In the memo field of all your checks, write "for sexual favors."
3. Specify that your drive-through order is "TO-GO."
4. If you have a glass eye, tap on it occasionally with your pen while talking to others.
5. Stomp on little plastic ketchup packets.
6. Insist on keeping your car windshield wipers running in all weather conditions "to keep them tuned up."
7. Reply to everything someone says with "that's what you think."
8. Practice making fax and modem noises.
9. Highlight irrelevant information in scientific papers and "cc" them to your boss.
10. Make beeping noises when a large person backs up.
11. Finish all your sentences with the words "in accordance with prophesy."
12. Signal that a conversation is over by clamping your hands over your ears and grimacing.
13. Disassemble your pen and "accidentally" flip the ink cartridge across the room.
14. Holler random numbers while someone is counting.
15. Adjust the tint on your TV so that all the people are green, and insist to others that you "like it that way."
16. Staple pages in the middle of the page.
17. Publicly investigate just how slowly you can make a croaking noise.
18. Honk and wave to strangers.

21. type only in lowercase.
22. dont use any punctuation either
23. Buy a large quantity of orange traffic cones and reroute whole streets.
24. Repeat the following conversation a dozen times.
    "DO YOU HEAR THAT?"
    "What?"
    "Never mind, it's gone now."
25. As much as possible, skip rather than walk.
26. Try playing the William Tell Overture by tapping on the bottom of your chin. When nearly done, announce "No, wait, I messed it up," and repeat.
27. Ask people what gender they are.
28. While making presentations, occasionally bob your head like a parakeet.
29. Sit in your front yard pointing a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down.
30. Sing along at the opera.
31. Go to a poetry recital and ask why each poem doesn't rhyme.
32. Ask your co-workers mysterious questions and then scribble their answers in a notebook. Mutter something about "psychological profiles."

Breaking News: The Fanny Pack Is Back

You know you wore a fanny pack at least ONCE in your lifetime...or at least caught your dad wearing one on your annual trip to Disneyland? C'mon, admit it!

Well it seems, the former 90's accessory craze is slowly creeping back for it's second go-round! I never thought I would admit that (dare I say) they look... good. Nor did I ever think I would use the words "Fanny Pack" and "Look Good" in a sentence in my lifetime.

Now it's your turn- are you rocking a fanny pack? Send me a pic and I'll show it off. I need living proof that it's not just celebrities and models that are rocking these things.

In The Spirit of Halloween

In the spirit of Halloween I wanted to show all of you this crazy pic. Note: It HAS NOT been digitally enhanced!

Here's the story.

On our way to check out Maine wedding destinations, my mom and I decided to visit the Portland Head Light, as we tried to take in as much of New England as we could. A close distance to the lighthouse sits the Ruins of Fort Williams ( below). Being the daredevil that my mom (Truby) is, she didn't blink when I dared her to walk down the dark corridor in the fort. I have extreme claustrophobia by the way and the thought of stepping one foot in that fort's darkness made me want to puke.

In an instant Truby has made her way in the fort, cell phone in hand, and in her southern sassy voice is egging the spirits on and demanding them to take a picture with her (while she checks her text messages of course). I picked up my camera and started shooting into the darkness as my mom continues sassing the spirits. And this is what I caught. Never again will I pick on ghosts to show themselves. And trust me, I understand if you're skeptical because I'm still not sure if I believe my eyes! When quickly I told my mom I think that I caught something she quickly replied " Oh, shoot. You can't see that I forgot to put on lipstick can you?"

Have A Relaxing Weekend.

The Great Muse

I have always been infatuated with Muses. Eccentric and fabulous, the whole world is enamored with not only the artist, but his muse. A few I personally find quite interesting:

Edie Sedgwick (above with Andy Warhol)

Style icon Edie Sedgwick inspired the likes of Andy Warhol and Bob Dylan and left behind a fashion legacy that still lives on today.

Yoko Ono

Beatles' women traditionally kept out of the group's affairs, but Yoko wasn't content to be a passive sidekick. Frankly, Lennon would be less interesting without the avant-garde frivolities, sloganeering and bed-ins.

Kate Moss

From Marc Jacobs to Marc Quinn to Corinne Day, Kate has been a muse to a number of well known photographers, designers and sculptors alike. As Marc Jacobs candidly put it,  “Kate is a muse to a generation … she defines a time, a feeling, that has become part of history”.

Introducing: New Blog Header

Hello dear friends, tonight is my official introduction to my new blog header. Blog header, meet my new friends. Friends, meet new blog header. Now we're all friends. I know your probably wondering why I'm changing it after such a short period of time, I'll take this moment to explain..


When I started my blog my main focus was to concentrate on fashion +  interior design and ways to inspire my readers in their everyday lives. I loved the look of the famous Barcelona Chair and thought it would be perfect to incorporate into my design. As time went on I found that I wasn't focusing on fashion and interior design as much as I had planned ( Blame the extreme ADD!), nor was I really pushing to inspire my readers with a magical post everyday. So, I figured I would redesign my header to suit the overall 'feel' of my blog a little better. Let's just say I'm switching from my black work trousers ( Yuck)  to my everyday comfy jeans. Hope you all enjoy!

Now, feel free to take a moment with old blog header if you need it.

Knit Denim Leggings From J.Crew

My cousin Brit met me for lunch last week wearing some of these. I'm officially in love.

I Can't Deal.

I want nothing more but to replace my sandals and shorts with boots and jackets, considering it's mid October and all. But right now, it seems ridiculous to even think about.
