Back from my little vacation and happily relaxed. {Thanks to morning passages for your hospitality!} Hope you took the chance to explore some old posts while I was gone. Also wanted to let you know that I did a guest post over at Sacramento Street which went up while I was gone.

Whimsical woodwork by artist Patrick Dougherty. His creations remind me of the set work for Where the Wild Things Are. {I wonder if he was involved?}

Eniko Mihalik stars in this short video and this spread in 25 magazine, both which were inspired by Gustav Klimt‘s art. Derek Kettela shot the spread and video with the help of model couple Sasha Knezevic (as creative director) and Anja Rubik (as fashion editor). Did I mention that the music is by Portishead?
Klimt + Portishead = Swoon.

Early April and already feeling the Miami heat after a lovely cool winter. Crossing my fingers for a few touches of sub-80 Spring weather. Still, I’m welcoming the warmer waters, and dare I say, a bit of sweat at the beach. Perhaps, I’m just a touch masochistic, but a part of me is looking forward to desiring things like cold melon or an icy cool dip in the pool…or more so, the satisfaction and relief that will come of those tiny pleasurable moments in the unbearable heat.

If there was ever a day you could break out the bunny ears…
Happy Easter!

You’ve seen Le Bel Été, but have you seen the first collaboration between Bruno and Doillon? No? Well, then let’s change that!
In my search for tips on how to ride a bike in a dress without exposing EVERYTHING, I discovered the blog, Lets Go Ride a Bike. Pretty much awesome…
Browsing through the Sunday Brunch website, I discovered artist Clare Owen. Judy always features an artist paired with a featured dress on the site’s landing page. {Where does she find such fabulous artists AND dresses?!}

I love these little pothole gardens.
The first thing that popped in my head was “How cute!”
The second was “Why would anyone plant a garden in a pothole? It’ll just get run over.”
But, then I thought about how often we don’t do things because we’re afraid of what will happen. We’re afraid all our effort will have been lost. We think it’s a waste of our time, so we don’t create. We deny the world of something beautiful, of our efforts, because we’re afraid! When you sum it up, nothing lasts forever. We might as well say we won’t live our lives because it will end someday.
Which we won’t, because that would be silly. Now, doesn’t it seem sillier NOT to plant a garden in a pothole?
