Just Hatched! by Eric Isselee

How cute are these newly hatched baby birds? They were photographed next to what remains of their eggs by artist Eric Isselee. Over the course of a year, Isselee photographed a variety of them at The Mulhouse and Beauval zoos in France. Notice how much bigger some are compared to their shells. The birds are only hours old and have already begun to outgrown their previous homes!

Rad House

 So I went to Toronto last week to do bloggy-blog stuff and stumbled upon the most utterly perfect, life-defining dress at Zara. I couldn't afford it but OOPS had to buy it anyway, because it is literally everything I have ever wanted in a dress.
 You get to look at two picture of me and my silly new haircut just because I love this dress so much. I've been wearing it with my H&M cropped cardigan sweater which I basically wear every day because the cut is great and it has elbow patches. I've always been a huge sucker for elbow patches even though that's never been reflected in my wardrobe before.
Also, a huge thank you to the Houndstooth Bunny for drawing such a cute picture of me wearing this outfit! Its super cute and I love it and I hope you keep drawing!

Sleeping in your bed.

The legendary Rodarte for Target ribcage sequin dress strikes again! I love this piece, but I rarely wear it because its a little too shiny for day time, and a little too weird for night time. Plus, the last time I wore it somebody asked me if I was wearing a costume. Seriously.

I also have a new artistic obsession: Alex Gross. His paintings are really powerful and twisted and beautiful in a way that speaks to the anti-materialist in me. It's Buy Nothing Day tomorrow, so here is some food for thought.




Also, I'm lucky to be participating in Teen Vogue's new fashion blog project!! They are compiling outfit posts from a lot of groovy blogs and posting them all on the Fashion Click website. Give it a look!

Contemporary Furniture Inside Traditional Walls

Rich, romantic, elaborate and….. modern? This design is a perfect example of the blending of two separate decorative styles – in this case, two styles from separate centuries.
