Weekend

My idea of a perfect weekend. Staying home and getting cozy. Take a long bath, throw on some pajamas, give yourself a manicure, pop some popcorn, light a candle, read a book, put a record on, catch up on work from home.

I deleted my previous post because I just couldn't give up this little blog. I'm back. I'm not sure how frequently I'll be updating but I'm here to stay. Thanks for reading! 

Ten Things I Like

I was recently tagged by Min of the beautiful blog, Bonjour Bohemian for the Happy 101 award. Thank you so much Min!

The rules for the Happy 101 award are to post 10 things you like and to give this award to 10 blogger friends. I really loved Min's and Miki's idea to use pictures, so I did the same thing!

Here are my 10 things:

1. Jane Birkin, Serge Gainsbourg, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Lou Doillion, and Kate Barry.
Easily the coolest family on the planet.

2. Annie Hall
Never fails to cheer me up. Diane Keaton is breathtakingly gorgeous and ridiculously funny. She's my queen o' queens.

3. Beachy garage-style bands like Tennis.
Right now there's nothing more uplifting than this jam:


4. Streetstyle
Never fails to inspire.


5. Françoise Hardy and her beautiful music
Nothing is better than putting on a Hardy record.

6. Sofia Coppola films
I don't know how she manages to make absolutely everything look so beautiful, but I guess that's her secret to keep.


7. Sixties Fashion
I think the women of the 1960s were so stunning, and they've all aged like fine wine -- especially Birkin and Hardy.

8. Coffee

9. Camping
I haven't been in the longest time, but I am dying to go.

10. Perfume Bottles
I don't wear perfume very often, but I love looking at it.

The Onomatopoeia Pizzeria

Definitely hop on over to these blogs. They are all absolutely wonderful!

Random Inspiration.

Wow, you guys, I am so sorry I haven't posted here in so long! Since it's been a while, I decided to post a mixture of things that have been inspiring me lately. I do update my other blog pretty frequently, so if you're ever looking for a new post you'll probably be able to find one over there.


1. French interior design - always elegant and simple


2. Pastel/monochrome color palettes for the fall


3. Geometric artwork


4. Quirky vintage photography


5. The styling in A Single Man


6. Design, illustration, and type from the '50s.


7. THIS WALLPAPER


8. Lara Stone in the September issue of Vogue.


9. THESE TWO. Always.

Also, this just needs to be on my blog. I think Elisabeth Moss has been hysterical in this season of Mad Men. Peggy's gonna peg, Peggy's gonna peep:

I was looking for this .gif for dayssss and this lovely girl was kind enough to link me. You can vote for her here in the Mad Men Casting Call. Do it!

I've been pretty busy spending time with my family and friends who are home. Someone who I have been best friends with since age 6 recently got engaged, and today I went to spend some time with my grandmother. Other than that I've just been applying to jobs and doing really minor freelance design.

I hope you all are well - how have you been spending your final days of summer?

Have a lovely weekend! I'm gonna leave you with a short but quick interview with my favorite model, Sasha Pivovarova. She is stunning in every possible way:
