Natalie Bookchin

I went to LACMA the other day, and was utterly stunned by this artist's piece. It was shown in a large, dark room with a ton of suspended surround sound speakers, and each "testament" was projected onto a blank wall. Beautiful and sad.

Watching it online doesn't do it justice, but just in case you'd like a taste, this one was my favorite.

Ok, I'm revealing one of my favorite blogs....

I'm doing this because I have to. This woman makes me smile every time I read her blogs, and see her amazing photos....this is something I can't keep selfishly for myself. :p

Garance, je t'aime!

*By the way, I was approving some comments to other blogs the other night, and I accidentally deleted some of them! And I had no idea how to get them back....So, if you saw your comment was not posted--my bad! I read it though, and probably loved it.... xo

Udon & Andrew

I finally bought Andrew Bird's "Noble Beast" album. It is incredibly beautiful...and creative...and cool. Ok, for real, I can't get over it!

So I made udon soup for one tonight, but I'd like to think that "Noble Beast" joined me and made everything ok.

I love Alexa Chung's style. I want this striped black and white dress. And the little bow in the hair? Come on! A-dor-a-ble. And my next shopping trip is to American Apparel for some black over-the-knee socks. I was a little wary of trying it in the past, but once I did, it was a lot of fun!

blogs:

I've become addicted to Google Reader. For those of you who don't know, it's a thing on google that organizes all the blogs you're subscribed to, and makes them all available on this neat little page, so you don't have go to like, 20 different blog sites to see if they (hopefully) added a new blog.

In the beginning, I was only subscribed to 2 blogs. I didn't even really get what blogs were until I one day was searching for photographers online, and I stumbled upon some really pretty fashion photos that were on this girl's blog. I became fascinated with all the things she posted because they were so beautiful! The other blog is my friend Wendy's. She's hilarious, and tells good stories filled with her awesome dry humor.

So, I started out with these 2, and then from them, I started checking out more blogs via links they would post. Now I'm subscribed to 10 blogs, and "following" 3 people. Every morning, I have a cup of coffee, and sit down at my computer, and before I even look at emails, I open up Google Reader, and look at all the new posts. It's like my own new edition of a magazine every day. I find them all really inspiring!* I'm subscribed to ones on art, Paris, flowers, Japan, street fashion, and some in between. One has inspired what I want my wedding to look like. Another gives me confidence in how I dress**. So now....I've been reading tons of blogs, and writing none.

Until now.

As I've typed this blog (made just for myspace and my website), I've just created my own Blog! So holy poop--here we go!

*as I'm writing this, I'm wondering if this is boring people to tears. Are blogs so 3 years ago or something? I have no idea! I apologize if I'm behind the times and this is old news and/or you don't care about how much I'm into blogs these days. There always seems to be some lag time between popular things and me embracing them....I didn't start watching Sex & The City until last year!

**is it weird that I'm not telling you what blogs I belong to? the answer is probably "yes". I can't help it that I'm weirdly protective of them! :-o
