my thoughts right now...

mailboxes with socks and man  backyard bill, cactus lady unknown, tree

chair & broom, llama and tree 

cafe/bar, tree, ladder & chair

bedroom unknown, pillow, rockers

muse-worthy

this fall i'm digging the contrast between casual and sophisticated, organic and glamorous.

relaxed sophistication by isabel marant

olympia by manet

reindeer skin and rustic walls by ditte isager

fools gold

confetti system studio shot by the selby

brilliant fashion story in T magazine a few years ago

rocking to the tunes of the sleigh bells

Things that are swimming in my head

  I think it's pretty obvious that the last couple weeks have been consumed with all things "kids" for me.

Italian Vogue cover, cake image, vintage toy collection, kite strings, photo, Harten photo, Darger documentary, Bridgette Bardot, Rag & Bone shoe, The Morning Benders, Raquel and Blondie, My Little Day

Mood Board: INXS

No, not the 80s band INXS. It's more IN EXCESS!!

I feel like going to extremes -- frivolous, overindulgent, candy-coated, gilded, and wildly expensive VS. badass, on the road, pared down, and wildly crazy.

Marie Antoinette meets Biker Gang!

Basically I want to flout responsibility and look amazing while doing it. Who's with me?!
