appreciate: Do Ho Suh
My favorite thing about art installations is that the audience is able to interact with the piece more so than they would with a painting or photography. Korean sculptor and installation artist, Do Ho Sh is one of the reasons why I love this medium. His work is just as striking and thought provoking from … Continue reading
listen: MS MR
Songs: Bones, Hurricane, Ash Tree Lane I have been hearing about the band, MS MR, for about a year now and have only managed to actually listen to some of their songs a couple weeks ago. I’m glad that I found the time to do so because now, I’m obsessed. The duo, which consists of … Continue reading
drink: Spiced Pumpkin Cider
I have decided to cave: after weeks of successful dodging posts that highlight the “it” vegetable of the season, pumpkin, I have given into my indulgences with this post and with good reason. If you were one of the very few people who checked out this blog when I started it last August, you might … Continue reading
watch: HER
I am extremely excited about this film…like extremely excited. “Her” is the story about a lonely divorced man who develops an unexpected relationship with a computer operating system that is designed to fit all his needs. I am a fan of Spike Jonze’s body of work, he has made iconic music videos for Jay-Z, Kanye … Continue reading
eat Squid Ink Pasta
I have decided to end this unofficial ” All Black Everything” week with a post about squid ink pasta. I remember the first time I encountered this dark pasta was intrigued by the coloring and instantly knew that I had to try it. I was initially expecting it to taste like regular pasta, but it … Continue reading
wear: Taylor Momsen’s Style
This blog has officially taken a turn towards the dark side this week with 2 “moody” posts in a row. Let’s keep this wrecking ball rolling with inspiration fromactress/model/singer Taylor Momsen. Who knew that little miss Cindy Lou would grow an affinity for heavy smoky eye shadow, platinum blond extensions, and torn fishnet stockings? It … Continue reading
live: Little Black Accents
The last home decor post I wrote about dealt with having all black everything in your home furniture. While that might sound a little intense for some, there is a way to ease into the trend without making your home look like Halloween all year round. My inspiration for this idea comes from the black … Continue reading
explore: The Door to Hell
I don’t spend much time picturing what the entrance of hell looks like, but I imagine that the Door to Hell comes pretty close. Located at a natural gas field in Derweze, Turkmenistan, the Door to Hell gets its name from the natural gas fire that has been burning since it was lit in 1971 … Continue reading
appreciate: Dan Webb
I thought I had an idea of all the things that can be done with a block of wood, but sculptor Dan Webb has defied what is possible. Webb pays painstaking attention to the detail of each line and curve of what he’s sculpting, giving something that is as solid as wood the illusion of … Continue reading
listen: Sia
Songs: Breathe Me, Soon We’ll Be Found, You’ve Changed, Electric Heart I just want to precipice this post by saying I am so happy for all the success that Sia has been experiencing the past couple years. I was first introduced to Sia with her hauntingly beautiful “Breathe Me” and have been a fan of … Continue reading
drink: Almond Milk
Over the past few years, my affinity for milk has dwindled. In fact, the only milk I really drink is chocolate milk, or milk that has been blending in with chocolate ice cream to make a chocolate milkshake. I recently was introduced to almond milk and I have been hooked ever since. Almond milk isn’t … Continue reading
watch: A Cabin in the Wood
I am not a fan of horror films, but after hearing over and over and over again how amazing “The Cabin in the Woods” is, I finally decided to see for myself and I am so happy that I did. The film is more of a smart satire on the horror film making fun of … Continue reading
eat: Sweet Potato & Goat Cheese Frittata
In honor of yesterday’s Gwyneth Paltrow post, I only felt like it was only appropriate to feature a recipe from her lifestyle website, GOOP. Sweet potatoes are officially in season, which is a great alternative if you’re starting to get overwhelmed with the “it” vegetable of the season, pumpkin. I never really associated the vegetable … Continue reading
