photo love

sannah kvist.
found this swedish photographer through flickr.
i love the series section on her website, especially close to home.



anna wolf.
i discovered the beautiful work of anna wolf a while ago, but she has just put some new work on her site.

comfort.

my new kitty, henry, is becoming more comfortable everyday. he loves lying on plastic bags and basking in the sun. as time goes by, i guess we get more comfortable in new surroundings as they become more of our own. i think this is why change is good, to show that we can survive anywhere and to open our eyes to new possibilities.



the above photos are from susie rea's, granny project. found the link through a reader and new blogger, jodie.

to me, this is symbolizes comfort.

being happy.

things that make me happy:
amazing clothes, via abigail. love the photos by erica shires.

maditi's wonderful forest holga pictures.

these jewelry photos. love the simplicity.

pretty shoes.

keeping secrets.

these lovelies.

malfunction

i have been having some trouble lately with my scanner and my polaroid camera. i came up with a solution and just took photos of my polaroids with my digital camera. the polaroids are kind of blurry, because they have been getting stuff in the camera, but only sometimes, so i'm not sure what the problem is. anyway, i don't have time or patience to deal with either issue right now.

so, to make myself feel better, i have decided to post some favorite images that make me happy when i look at them. they are old and new, all in the theme of blue.

winter is back

i am still missing the beach. it didn't help when i picked up a new vogue living and saw this amazing spread. i love the glass jar in the bottom photo. it reminds me of this.

but, it is getting chilly here and i am trying to embrace winter once again. i was talking with a friend of mine and she said when{if} it snows here this year it will be really magical because it has waited so long. i can't wait!

things i am loving:
the work of kathleen lolley
these delicious bars-especially cashew cookie
amazing clothes and photos
these cute bowls-love the colors

missing the beach

this weekend was so warm here in new york! in the 70s. very wierd, but kind of nice just coming back from the beach. saturday morning, as i was walking down a cobblestone street in soho, i was transported to another place. i felt a warm breeze and was almost sure i smelled the surf. it is amazing how something so small can make you feel so much. i really do miss being so close to the ocean. being able to take a walk on the beach everyday and smell the salt air sounds amazing. mav is so lucky! maybe one day i will live near a beach, but, for now, it's still the concrete jungle for me.

speaking of mav, she posted some amazing inspiration over the weekend!



today i will be working on a little revamp of my website and getting organized for the new year. i have been really inspired by so many magazines lately, in particular, the january issue of elle decor uk. there is an amazing article about dutch stylist, reineke joustra. here are some photos.



some more photo inspiration:
anna williams photos have always inspired me. take a look.
mikkel vang does a lot of amazing work for australian vogue living.
victoria pearson.
oh, one more:
i just discovered my friend, sarah's new years eve set. so cozy!
