Love Fern

I bought my own eggling!  My roommate calls it our love fern :) You can already smell the basil-- I'm so proud it actually sprouted!

Early Morning Musings

I am absolutely stunned by the work of Vivian Maier (a nanny by trade) who did most of her photography in Chicago.  There are stories in her work that make the viewer wonder.  The formal aspects alone are intriguing with her use of space and forms.  Her work dates from the 1950s into the late 1990s.  Check out Vivian Maier.  Wish I had time to write more but I'm attempting to study!

Tribalism

Artist: Rosanna Webster

 I'm very excited about the idea of tribal Native American prints for Fall.  The entire nature trend has been a growing force. This style with its slight ruggedness is definitely one interpretation of it.  I say rock it.  Natural stones and feathers are also huge and make great accents.  There's a lot being done in terms of sweaters, backpacks and knits that can be purchased semi-affordably at stores like H&M and Urban Outfitters.  

Artist: Marita Contreras

Stunning. Check out her artist statement on website.

Film

The images were scanned at my school which may have affected some of the quality unfortunately.

I'm feeling...

Eat, Learn, Move

LEARN from Rick Mereki on Vimeo.

This gave me a hopelessly terrible case of wanderlust.  How amazing would it be to travel the world, to see and do even half of the things in this video?  I may very well be a broke college student but I am planning on exploring the world!  This video is one of three that can be found on Vimeo.  Each has a theme: eat, learn, move.  It was a tough choice choosing between Eat and Learn for posting, because I love the music and impressive food in Eat.  I also have been a foodie phase lately, particularly Italian cusinine.  I'm fearless when it comes to cooking new things, and making up half of the recipe along the way.   Anyway, I chose Learn because has the same spirit of adventure with a little more action.  Definitely watch all the films though!
