Vintage Vogue

There are some deliriously pretty images from vintage fashion magazines, mainly from the 1950s, in myvintagevogue's flickr photostream. I could browse it forever. So inspiring!

Whole New Meaning of 'Fly"

This guy kills the airplane announcements in a rap. Who wishes this happened on every flight?

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.

ASDA Lunch Packaging

Cute and creative lunch packaging by Emma Smart:


"The brief asked for them to be seperate solutions, however still maintain a strong visual idenity throughtout the collection. The lunchboxes cover three distinctive ranges, healthy, satisying and childrens."

Shadow Monuments

This takes shadow puppets to a new level. Fun pictures from artist Henrietta Swift.

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.

Pretty Lacey Things

How lovely are these digital collages?

Rainy Evenings Playlist

It's been quite rainy here in San Francisco, and I haven't minded one bit. I get to walk around in my clear bubble umbrella and drink hot tea (despite Jordan's feelings on the matter). It's been extra nice falling asleep to rain sounds. I've had a little rainy playlist for doing my package design homework indoors. I thought I would share it with you darlings!

When I Grow Up

When I Grow Up from Fever Ray on Vimeo.

This video is pretty, but the first time I watched it it kinda wierded me out. I love the song, as it sounds a bit like Santogold and Lykke Li got together stylistically and had a baby. I also like the outfit, despite it being a better version of the ensemble worn by the Guy Behind Winkie's in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. There's just something about the hair in the face and her dancing that makes me think of...Samarra in The Ring. Still, like with most things that are on the creepy/cool border, my vote eventually landed decidedly on cool.

What News Anchors Do During Commercial Breaks

This. Is. Great.



From the WGN YouTube description: "News anchors Robert Jordan and Jackie Bange have been together for many years. This whole thing started out really small and simple."

There's a little interview about the handshake (including explanations about what some of the moves mean) here.

Eco Graffiti

"El&Abe aims to lift itself off the paper format and into our physical environment, creating accessible artwork and design that relies upon sustainable concepts and methods."

Whoa.

Stephen K. Schuster

Kelly is simply (as the photographer Stephen K. Schuster said) “a limited-edition photography book on a past relationship". It had a 25 initial booklet run, but the website features some of the lovely photographs.


You can almost feel the spaces between the pictures: the nuances of memory and feeling that come with love. They say that when Picasso would paint his women, the abstractions would get more intense the longer the relationship had lasted. What a frame art can make for the viewing of a relationship!

Just Add Bacon

Put bacon on top of any website. Why? Because you can. Genius.


Also try unicorns.

A Staunch (Young) Woman

I find it utterly fabulous that Melanie of the blog Beanpaste used dress up time to dress her daughter up as Little Edie Beale. I watched the documentary Grey Gardens for the first time recently and was captivated by Edie's style and spitfire personality, as much as by the oddity of her and her mother's Miss Havisham-esque existence in their crumbling 28 room East Hamptons mansion. Below is the real Edie for comparison. A very staunch woman.

50 People, 1 Question

I love things like this video...it makes me laugh, feel sorta sad, and feel connected to the world all at once. I miss Brooklyn sometimes.


Fifty People, One Question: Brooklyn from Fifty People, One Question on Vimeo.

You can also see how people in London answered.

Kittens, Inspired by Kittens

One of my best friends found this video, and I was expecting it to be overly cutesey (kittens? small blonde girl child?) but it was hilarious and cute in the best possible way. I was laughing very hard despite myself. The narration is awesome.

Branding Obama

Logo Design Love summed up an interview with Sol Sender, who led the design team for the Obama campaign logo. The post featured some of the ideas that didn't quite make the cut. It is interesting to see the process preceeding the ubiquitous "O"–some of the solutions were beautifully modern.

Dance Dance

More enchanting video, reminiscent of Improv Everywhere.

Her Morning Elegance

I ran across this on All the Good Things, and thought the video brilliant and unique. The song is by Oren Lavie, who also directed the video, and got a lot of play in my itunes a few months back. So cute and refreshing.

Kermit Bale

This may be one of the best livejournal posts ever: a photographic comparison of the commonalities of Christian Bale and Kermit the Frog. Gotta love the internet.

V Day

I just found this set of pillow cases in the sale section over at Urban Outfitters. A sale price makes everything better, but I could be smitten. What a fabulous Valentine's gift these would make!

Motion Pictures

This just breaks my heart with its beauty and I haven't even seen it yet.

Funny Mirrors

How fun are these mirrors? They're called "The Mister" and "Thug Life" respectively. And they're on sale right here.

Olivia Bee's Flickr

Beautiful images from young photographer Olivia Bee's Flickr. Her whole collection has such a sense of mood and delicacy. Well worth a full afternoon's browse.
