jam on this


If, like me, you are busily preparing for the upcoming Eatpocalypse 2011, then you will, no doubt, also be contemplating its corresponding playlist. Lucky for you, I've got you covered. 

After scouring the internet for a decent medley and continually coming up with the inaudible or hokey, I plugged in my earphones and took DJ-ing into my own click-happy hands. Playlist serving instructions: pour yourself a big bourbon, grab a fork, press play and stuff your face like leftovers don't exist. Enjoy!

luminosity


I liked the picture of the chandelier so much, I decided to replicate it for myself. Just bought this image, now all I have to do is find a suitable frame and hit print. 

Stay tuned for the results!

Happy Halloween! (P.S. If you don't put Worcester Sauce on your pumpkin seeds, then I just feel sorry for you.)

hermès afterlife







Even Hermès' scraps afford an afterlife. On November 3-23 their new line, Petit H, will be on display at the Madison Avenue flagshipstore in Manhattan. From what my rusty French gathers from their website, Petit H is a sort of laboratory where leather scraps, slightly flawed tea cups and other "leftovers" are metamorphosed, turning trash into treasure. A demi-tasses' handles becomes a necklace; scraps of calfskin leather transform into a Panda...

Who would of thought you'd suddenly want a stuffed bear more than you ever wanted a Birkin?

ride pine


I don't want you to be jealous, but this is my bench (see? That's my finger in the upper left corner). Three days ago, this bench only had a piece of plywood as a seat and it looked like it was worth the 60 dollars I paid at a rummage shop in Door County (that's the Hamptons of Wisconsin, look it up). But that was three days ago...




Look at her now.

Oh! News! I updated my fashion resume because more fashiony things have happened to me since the last time I did it! Make yourself wiser here.

Just in time for a 34° Wisconsin morning: London marque, Under, and their masterful remake of the classic long johns.

welcome, weekend


I only drink champagne when I'm happy, or when I'm sad.
I sometimes drink it when I'm alone.
When I have company, I consider it obligatory.
I trifle with it if I am not hungry and drink it when I am.
Otherwise, I never touch it – unless I'm thirsty.
– Mme Lily Bollinger

It's Friday. I want to see you party.
