Also? Vice's Do's and Don'ts for animals. (Not exactly, but the same inane "how could you be so fucking fat, you stupid baby?" type of commentary.)

on second thought...

Seriously, AA? I knew you were all about the ironic 80s/90s throwback but I do believe you've crossed a line.

Je t'aime, Sofia Coppola

Sofia Coppola is so awesome. I love this. It's hard to make an adorable perfume commercial, but she DID! (I HATE the Lancome one with Kate Winslet...is it trying to be a deliberately over-dramatic throwback?) Anyway, she's one of my favorite directors and everything she touches oozes with her aesthetic. AND SHE'S SO ON TOP OF THINGS! Brigitte Bardot music, check. Cute french girl, check. Amazing bike, check. Amazing dress, double check check!

PERFECTION, part two.

my christmas list.

I like to think my current position (unemployed and living in my parents' houses rent-free -- thanks dudes) has been especially humbling. For awhile, I really didn't want a single thing beyond a job and peace on earth (ha!). But the internet got the best of me, and I'm sort of obsessing over these housewares:





1. melamine ladybug tray, $32 at threepotatofour
'Cause as much as I like to think of myself as an elitist east-coast librul, I love sitting in front of the teevee and noshing. At least with this tray, I'd look cute doing it.


2. get in here poster, $25 at mylittleunderground
This poster is all over tumblr/ye olde blogosphere. It's simple, but it works.


3. stackup 5x7 print, $16 at photobird's etsy shop
I love me some "it's the little things in life" photography.


4. wire eames chair print, $15 at perlaanne's etsy shop
If you've been reading my blog for more than a day, you know I love simplicity. Oh, and having a picture of an Eames chair totally gives you design cred in my book.


5. 6" ceramic pigeon vase (the big one!), $60 at threepotatofour
Do I even need to explain this one?


6. Manhattan poster by Jim Datz, $48 at threepotatofour
Just a super cute poster.



Speaking of posters, For Me, For You just blogged about this amazing poster that my grandparents used to have hanging in their summer home in the Adirondacks. I used to stare at it for hours, no joke. That little A-frame had the best kitschy 60s furniture. Too bad they sold it (with furniture) a few years ago.
