After seeing Eco Trip I discovered another amazing show by Isabella Rossellini, there is never usually much tv in my life but these are only 2 minutes long and you can watch them online. They’re a little bizarre but this show has amazing sets and costumes, and is a pretty funny production.
Go see this film Food Inc! I just went to see this and was surprised by how much I didn’t even know about, especially when I consider myself to be fairly conscious of my food and environment. Even if you don’t live in the US, it’s still really important to see what’s happening to our food here, and to help prevent it from spreading to other parts of the world. Especially in France, it might help to prevent the ban on genetically modified seeds from being lifted.
Also while on this topic, check out Eco Trip, it’s entertaining and fascinating to see what goes into making things and their large scale impact.
I’m off doing some summer scouting for a project. Why don’t girl scout’s dress like this anymore? What happened to the cute uniforms? I never was a girl scout when I was younger, or a brownie either, but I always loved the uniforms. Now they just wear sweat pants or something awful like that. What happened! Why is this country turning more and more things into what I refer to as “the sweatpants of_____(fill in the blank with anything that make’s it overly easy to be a slob)” I think they need to take some tips from my friend Phyllis and her troop and step it up a bit. Nature girls don’t have to look like they just crawled out of the back woods.
2nd annual Boudicca Cake off results.
I’m off for the weekend! I like to imagine that he never dresses any other way off stage, and can break into song at any moment.. whether it be “chubby little fat man..” or “let’s dance”
Lately I keep coming across the most amazing vintage Issey Miyake pieces, on a friend, at vintage shops, online.. there’s something brewing here and I like it. I’m loving the loose and interesting silhouette that I keep seeing.
Beautiful detailed illustrations by Fujita Minako discovered from Emma Cassi’s blog.
Happy Summer Solstice this weekend! I am feeling very inspired by the Michael Besançon talk at the Eco Center, and on a very different level by these amazing Maria Carla images as well. There will be a podcast up online soon of the discussion that I highly recommend listening to.
Dress well, eat well and enjoy the extra light this weekend!
Help support the Ecology Center! This Thursday starts off the first of several talks focused on basic needs and features special guest Michael Besançon of Whole Foods discussing the topic of food, of course. It’s all the way down in Orange County but in the middle of an organic farm outside an old farmhouse, it’s a pretty nice setting and worth the trip.

Picked up a copy of Jalouse a bit late, but I love this spread of Clemence by her photographer friend Emeric Glayse. Trees, orchids and a very cool girl, beautifully done!
the nicest days..
these are what ramsey created for us. today’s the day!
(meant to post this yesterday but was a bit preoccupied)
Love, love love everything about this store.
love this video sent to me by lili.
You know that feeling when you walk into someone’s home and feel completely warm and inspired? Not so many places have this certain glow to it. I was lucky to have met Beatrice and Ramsey, whose home is shown above. It instantly has this very comfortable and beautiful feeling to it, before you even step inside. Beatrice was so sweet to let me come by one afternoon and photograph their place to share it with all of you. They are an incredibly talented and creative couple, which is apparent in both their home and their work. I’ll share more about what Ramsey does later this week.
I especially love all of the artwork, each piece has such a personal touch and is mostly done by friends of theirs who are artists, and the beautiful ceramics and weaving made by Beatrice that is subtly placed throughout their home is incredible. It’s inspiring to see how when you stay in a place long enough, you have all of these beautiful small details that each tell their own stories and culminate into a bigger picture and feeling.
Here’s the rest of that spread from i-D magazine because it’s so good. Have a great weekend!
So far it’s been a hazy summer.

It’s beach bbq bonfire and pool party time! A little inspiration for any summer activities this weekend. Sometimes the more you try harder not to go out so much the more you end up going. The past few weeks have been a little crazy I need a vacation from summer vacation already.

What I loved seeing more than Julia Restoin-Roitfeld’s place was her accessories, and that chair is beautiful too. Also from the Selby are these amazing Pierre Hardy shoes from Jacqueline Perrett’s place and those watercolored skateboard decks in Jonathan and Annie Zawada’s place. Of course skateboards and chairs aren’t necessarily accessories but what a beautiful collection of objects these make. all images by the selby.
This week is finally back to normal. Happy Memorial Day weekend.

Sorry for the lack of posts. I’ve been having site problems that have been keeping me from posting, they are finally fixed!
I just watched the Peter Beard documentary last night Peter Beard Scrapbooks: Africa and Beyond. His work, particularly his collaged journals, has always been an inspiration to me, I keep quite a few of my own. This film was a very short introductory peak into his life and his work, but still intriguing nonetheless. I loved seeing the guy who paints all the interesting animals and characters on a lot of his photographs and watching his very natural approach to doing fashion photo shoots.
Below is a clip that’s not part of the documentary but is brilliant and features some of his past subjects brought to life on film.
