April & I started this blog when I visited her in Phoenix last; now we will be reuniting (YAAY) in her new city, Portland (well, not really new for her, but for me). I’m incredibly excited, and if anyone has suggestions for places to visit, that would be awesome!
Keep being weird!

Though this photo by Annie Leibovitz for VOGUE was taken in 2009, I re-fell in love with it while looking on another photographer’s blog (yes, this is what I do after work. Productive, I know). Who are your favorite photographers? Have a great week everyone!

A few days ago I stumbled upon Swoosh Art, a magical combination of my freshman art history course and my sneakers. Laughs for all! Have a great week everyone.

I loved Lisa Frank when I was a child, so when I saw that Urban Outfitters sold Lisa Frank erasers, I almost cried out in happiness. I hope this brightens your day!

Although I am a big fan of the period we live in, it would be quite magical to visit what Earth was like around 100 years ago. Luckily, Downton Abbey exists (and I know I am rather late on the uptake) and can fulfill this dream. I watched the entire series in one week, and I cannot wait for the season 3 finale tomorrow. If anyone has spare time, (hahaha, right) then watching Downton Abbey may be a wonderful way to fill it. Have a great weekend everyone!

Hello everyone! Sorry it has been a while! I hope those in the NE stayed safe during the storm. I stumbled upon this film short yesterday and fell in love with it; it is a world I want to live in. Entitled, The Centrifuge Brain Project by Till Nowak, this six minute short explores brain activity of children on amusement park rides, and by that I mean it is a magical world to escape in. Below are some screen-grabs from the film. Happy Sunday!

I was introduced to Icon Pop Quiz by Alegrium, and it is by far my favorite iPhone game. Not only is it well illustrated, but also it quickly passes the time on the subway. Below are a few screen shots of some of the icons, and you can download it from the App store! Have a great week everyone!

What does a girl do when she is sick? Online shop (amongst other things). I was on the Marc Jacobs website, and fell in love with the Spring 2013 photography (but was too sick to look up the photographer). I also found a wonderful gem: a graphite middle finger. Yes, that is correct. It’s below the magical photography. I hope this brightens your weekend.
Note: I didn’t buy anything; I blame my college loans.

Happy New Year everyone! Though I’m not typically one to wait until a new year to make resolutions, a few things I want to do in 2013 are:
1. Visit April on the West coast.2. Continue to love what I do. (New piece below!)
3. Eat awesome food.
I hope you all have a magical year!

“Common Human Activity: Dining”
Happy almost New Year everyone! I hope your holidays have been wonderful! One thing that I have learned this holiday is that I cannot find jeans that fit well (amongst other more important things). They are always too short, too loose in the waist, but too tight on the thigh. I have bought jeans like $200 J-Brand to only have them fall apart within a few months (and their customer service is no help either). Though they fit oh so well, I can’t have the crotch area create a hole while I’m at work.
I’ve been looking into Rag & Bone jeans; their high-rise skinny seems magical, but I’m a little weary investing money (again) into expensive jeans that may fall apart. Any suggestions?
