Just Look

Since my last post was pretty word-intensive, I've decided to try to balance it out with one full of pictures of things I've liked recently. 

Enjoy!

Something Swedish

on this blog

I think it's safe to say I have little to no idea what's going on here (all I can really make out is design, trend, and Swedish Ninja). But as you can tell from the close-up, an adorable Swedish man is involved (feel free to learn fluent English and call me up!)

I Bet You've Missed Me...

...because I haven't posted in over a week. But hey, it was Fall Break so get off my back.

The important thing is, I'm here now (at work) and I'm getting this blogging thing done. 

You Are Welcome.

1/ Hetterson

I wear a medium, and I'll take one. Thanks.

 

 

 

2/ Cheese, Grilled Cheese

3/ Sassy Cat Food

 

 

4/ Movie Posters

 

 

5/ Chairs

Suitcase Chair

Face Chair

6/ Clay Pigeons (and other awesome sculptures)

7/ Affordable Art

8/ Halloween

This topic actually needs its own post. 

Coming soon to a screen near your face.

Photoblogs Galore

I'm not going to start this post with an apology for not posting. Other people are going to do it for me:

I'm sooooo sorry.

Now onto more important things.

1/ Convoy

A photoblog that defines itself as an "Evergrowing collection of stuff I like". And it's stuff I like too. The one issue is that it's a Tumblr blog...and I am a blogspot blogger. This one has me contemplating conversion.

2/ Street Peeper

Oslo

Chicago

New York

 Photoblog that posts images of street fashion from cities like Oslo, Berlin, Amsterdam, London, New York, Tokyo, and even Chicago.

3/ Ruche

Haha, got ya! This isn't a photoblog at all! It's not even a blog! IT'S A STORE! BECAUSE I LOVE SHOPPING! Especially for things I can't afford. Which is most things. That aside, they have some really cute shit.

4/ Flourpot

Aha! Got you again! This is also not a blog. But it is some goooood packaging design! Brought to my attention via TheDieline.

Ok, that's enough for now, I need to dome some good old fashioned HOMEWORK in the way of picking out an opinionated article I disagree with/know something about. So...if any of you happen to know something I feel strongly about in the news, please, fill me in on that secret.

Theater Thursday

Allllrighty, I know I may have promised at least one of my readers (Lulu) a very special post about the great state of Wisconsin and all that it has to offer, but that is just going to have to wait. Mostly because I'm going back to good old WI in about a week and would like to save all of the amazing (read:tacky and badly taken) photographs for one mega post. Because that is just how I roll.

So instead, I'm going to share some videos with you. Now, I've never posted a video on this beast before, so get ready for the ride of your life. Just kidding, you won't really be able to witness the inevitable hours it is going to take me to figure this shit out.

Well, turns out it only took about three minutes. Lucky me, I'm a genius. So here's the first thing I want to share...


Tempus II from Philip Heron on Vimeo.
This is 7 minutes of things being smashed in slow motion (discovered via GOOD's Twitter, I highly suggest it). It's pretty entertaining.

This reminded me of a video I found while I was interning at the ILN in London (don't ask me what they do, I'm not real sure) and I had quite a bit of free time on my hands. Plus I was all over the internet collecting contact information and often I got sidetracked. And anyway, this is something I found while working. Don't tell my bosses.



It's well, cupcakes.

So those were meant sort of as previews leading up to what is next: THE MAIN EVENT!
This is my new favorite video, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. Enjoy.

MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON from Dean Fleischer-Camp on Vimeo.

Loved it, didn't you?

Anywhoser, being the online wanderer that I am, I had to check out the website of the guy who directed this, because obvi the rest of his stuff is probably as great. And well, I didn't actually get a chance to watch all of it (because I'm at my job at a library and it's frowned upon, fun suckers) but I DID watch this trailer for a weird-ass show called Food Party on a channel called IFC (which I've never even heard of). I don't really get it, but I sure as hell want to watch it after seeing this beast. According to Dean Fleischer's website, it will "melt your pussy off" so maybe you shouldn't watch it. I dunno, I think I'll risk it.

And now I'm going to close up this god forsaken library of hell, go home and watch the rest of the stuff on his website. And so should you. And then I'm going to figure out what the H IFC is (besides obviously International Fighting Championship) and watch all their shows. I also plan to make a pizza, if you must know.

PS - stay tuned for Wisconsin fun!
PPS - Accidental penises. In case your pussy melts off and you need genitalia to replace it.

One MILLION Things

A lot of things have caught my eyeballs in the past...24 hours or so. Let's just start with the most recent and work our way backwards! PS - I just found a folder on my computer named "Things I Like" and another called "Pretty," both of which were chock full of images. You'll be seeing some of them today, and some of them at a later date.

1/ Keds Collective and Amy Ormond

 Keds Collective is a collaboration between Keds and designers, artists and musicians and the results are pretty effin great.

2/ One Minute Portraits by Benjamin Hammond

The image kinda says it all.

3/ The Original Penguin

Tiny bit in love with these ultra preppy clothes. And the name is cute.

4/ The Glue Society

The Glue Society is a collective that does art and advertising, and other stuff too. The image is an example of one of their sculptures. Look closely, you can see that guy's junk.

5/ Freakishly adorable dishware by Finding Cheska

Again, the image says it all, but visit the website for more well-designed homewares.

6/ Words (FFFFOUND!)

Ffffound has about 50 of these bad pictures with words over them. Some of them are real dumb, but some are nice.

7/ Better words (still FFFFOUND!)

Ffffound also has some good things. Like these.

8/ Michelbergerhotel

This is one from my long list of bookmarks. It's the exterior of the Michelbergerhotel in Berlin. It's a pretty happening place, I've heard, and the interior's sweet as well.

9/ Food: I like food a lot, and these are my two current favorite things (besides, obviously, toasted baguette sandwiches with hummus and tomato).

9/1 Black Silk

The first is Folger's Black Silk coffee, which is black as night and I like it.

9/2 15 Grain Bread

The second is Pepperidge Farm's 15 grain bread; this bread is awesome and I'll tell you why. When I buy bread, I always have to decide, do I want some hearty whole grain bread that will have more calories and fat but be more satisfying? Or do I want the lighter loaf that is fewer calories but ultimately less satisfying? This is the PERFECT blend of the two. It's light on cals and fat but feels hearty. I'm clearly in love.

10/ Gilt Group and Thomas Paul

Gilt Group is a member's only sale website and one of their current sales is Thomas Paul who does some fantastic things with textiles.

One MILLION/ Perfect Job at Urban Outfitters

Found my perfect job, Women's Print and Artwork Designer, at Urban Outfitter's. Requirements include forecasting fashion trends, researching print and art trend directions, shop and observe street fashion and rework artwork into prints for the UO customer. Plus it may require some overseas travel...bonus. PS - love those brogues.

 Coming soon to a computer screen near you.
Today I went shopping for supplies to make my own headbands. Wednesday Lulu and I are going to be trying our best to actually make them; we'll see how that goes. I mean, obvi it will be fabulous...unless we eff it up. Then it'll just be funny.
