On a Thursday Afternoon I Made You a Mixtape.

It is sunny, I don't have school, and tonight I'm going to hipster Karaoke. It's a good day, my friends. I thought I'd share my afternoon with you in the form of a playlist. I'm cleaning my apartment to it, but I imagine it would suit many endeavors just as fabulously.

Is it Summer Yet?

I need hot days and bright colors, stat.

Balloon Bowl

Skating through a skate bowl with balloons? Fun fun fun.

Mood Boards

I am obsessed with mood boards lately! School has made me construct lots and lots of them, and I find them a great help when I get stuck on a design project. Photography and colors are obsessions of mine too, so communicating the feeling of an event or project by collecting inspirational material is super fun for me. I found a fabulous wedding blog (which is inspirational and fabulous even if you aren't tying the knot) that regularly features mood boards like the pretty one below. 100 Layer Cake is totally beautiful and worth a browse.

One Day, I Want to be this Cool

I'm super in love with the new Yeah Yeah Yeah's. I need to get to karaoke so I can dance around and pretend I'm Karen O. Sans awesome jacket.

Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre

I've seen these funny and pretty little things in several places, and took some time to actually visit the Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre site today. Well worth it.

Reasons to Have Friends in Musical Theater

Another gem from my sister Jazmin.

Elle Muliarchyk

My sister sent me this video. Elle Muliarchyk is both the model and the photographer in her work, taking pictures in dressing rooms guerilla style. The images she gets are quite astounding. I could try to make a connection between her methodology, and the obsessive self-portraiture of the digital camera toting myspace/facebook generation, but...I think I just did.

Digitile

Digitile is a company that handles custom printing on ceramic tiles, so you can upload your own photos and designs and put them on your walls. My showers would be exponentially cooler.
