The September Issue

So I finally watched The September Issue, which I had been wanting to see for quite some time now... 

For those of you who don't know what it is, it's about the editor of Vogue and the process of planning and putting out the September issue of Vogue. 

Needless to say, it was fantastic. I really enjoyed it, so I highly recommend watching it for any of you who enjoy learning about the fashion industry as much as I do. 

I guess I just want...

Happiness.

So here are some images I found to keep my spirits up. 

My Talented Friends.

My good friend Brett is a fantastic film maker/director. 

Take a look at his most recent videos here.

oh, and also...

I think Federico Uribe's artwork is fantastic. I want these book installments in my future house/classroom.

j'adore

I've been quite busy lately with orientation activities and such, and when I do have free time I don't have internet installed yet. But I stumbled upon this video today and I just love it.

Makes me want to decorate the city.

Enjoy.

Goodbye California...

I'm leaving on a jet plane, I don't know when I'll be back again...

I was going to make this super sappy and put up old pictures of my friends and family and I and talk about how much I'm going to miss everyone.... But I think that would just get me too sad. 

So instead, for now, I'm just putting up pictures of how my room used to look. 

I'm very sad to be leaving it. 

I'll post pictures of my new room once I'm all moved in.

& maybe add in some sappiness. tehe.

bits&pieces of my week.

I guess this is going to be a purely food post

My Talented Friends.

My friend Sara is the most amazing artist. 

I could say more, but instead I'll just let the art speak for itself:

for all you hipsters out there...

hahahahahahaha. 

cookies.

I made espresso-chocolate shortbread cookies today & they turned out delish! 

Misc. Phone Photos.

More.

I love these images by Sebastiaan Bremer. 

They are just so whimsical and almost magical looking. 

Reading & Relaxing

I think these images are just lovely.

Makes me want to take a good book outside and just enjoy the loveliness. 

Or snuggle up with a cat and a good book inside. 

Not to get all cat lady on you...

...but I do love cats. A lot (even though I'm allergic).

& this one is absolutely the cutest. 

images from here.

Artsy.

I'm loving Brandi Strickland's work right now. 

It is has a very cool feel to it. Interesting and unique. 

give thanks!

I love this blog, thxthxthx. The blogger writes a thank you note per day, thanking something in her life. 

I think it is a very cool idea. 

Inspired by Iceland.

I saw this video a while back. Thought I would share it with you. 

It makes me want to travel to Iceland. It look absolutely gorgeous.

Doesn't this look good?

I think that is such an interesting concept...

Tea Cups.

Aren't these tea cups cute? 

They each have quotes from Alice in Wonderland on them. 

You can find them here.

Oragami.

I think this origami jewelry is simply precious.

little bit of this, & a little bit of that.

So I was browsing through my computer, and saw these videos that I made quite some time ago. 

Thought I would share them. 
I apologize for the horrible quality. 
Maybe one of these days I'll splurge and actually get a video camera.

I'm thinking of doing more soon. They're so much fun to make. 

paper sculptures

Jeff Nishinaka sculpts paper. I think it is just amazing. 

It would be incredible to see his work up close and personal. 

fallin' for fall fashion.

I think Blanco's new fall collection is just absolutely lovely. 

{how cute is this coat?}

{& isn't this little black dress just perfect?}

p.s. i guess i'm going a little blog crazy today. oh well.
