Sad Songs

It’s Monday. I’m listening to Purple Rain and I can’t make you love me on repeat. I had a bit of disappointment this weekend. Sometimes, the only thing that makes me feel better is a severely depressing song. Et tu?

Do you need a depressing song for your Monday?

Crazy Love

I’m OBSESSED with this editorial. Especially the first photo which seems to scream Romeo & Juliet in a modern/princess/fashion way. Such high spirits in these photos! Doesn’t everyone deserve to be as happy as this?

My Wedding Inspirations

April 27, 2011April 27, 2011Leave a comment

Today is April 27th. That means our wedding is exactly four months away. I hyperventilated a bit when I realized. In honor of that and of the royal wedding (of course) I thought I’d share some of my wedding inspirations. If Kate Middleton forsakes Queen Victoria’s jewels for flowers in her hair I will never forgive her.

I Love Gallery Walls

April 27, 2011April 27, 20113 Comments

Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. I don’t believe that applies to art on the walls. When done right, a gallery wall can be spectacular. It can be done in any room, with or without a theme. It can cover a blank wall or a busy one, a small room or a large one…just make sure you’re happy when you walk in and don’t be afraid to take a few decorating chances.

Wave of the Future

SHOW REELA moment captured in my living room by Jamie. Dress by Oscar de la Renta.

Jamie of From Me to You is a phenomenal photographer and has become adept at a technique called cinemagraph, not quite a movie and not just a photo. It’s so lovely.

WHO’S WATCHING WHO?Cinemagraph by Jamie, shot in my apartment last week. THIS IS THE FUTUREThrough my new friends at tumblr headquarters I’ve recently come in contact with a very talented new photographer named Jamie. She and her boyfriend create these unique images she calls “cinemagraphs” - more than a photo, but not quite a video. Mark my words friends, this art form is the way of the future.
