New Britain Museum of Art!

(I wanted to be able to post photos via my cell phone, so I sent a test image!)

These are all cups on a wall at the New Britain Museum of Art.

Pretty amazing, right?!

Happy plastic!

Yours truly,

Alex

A little inner weirdness...

Ciao Nomads!

Do other people have this much fun with PhotoBooth...or is it just me?!

Happy shots!

Yours truly,

"Hunted Animal Jacket"

Aneta says it perfectly, you don't need anything else from me:

BOBBIN TALK - ROHAN CHHABRA

(And the Chhabra website: HERE.)

Happy ethics?

Where to stay in France

Nomads!  OH MY GOSH!  I subscribe to a fantastic blog called "The Steampunk Home," and look what she/he  (?) posted today!

Where to stay in France - Listings for Roulette's!

(These photos are from THIS WEBSITE, taken from two different caravans, but look inside the second one HERE - it's pink and wonderful!)

Happy gypsy here!

Yours truly,

Alex

Camel Coat Nightmare

Dear Nomads,

Why is it that I cannot stop dreaming about this Chloe camel coat?

Please let me know - it's driving me crazy!

Yours truly,

Alex

PS: I'd totally sneak this little Dries Van Noten number on underneath and run barefoot through an apple grove...guess I'm in fall mode already!

I feel like running through the trees...

...but I'll settle for browsing Etsy.  If I could be truly nomadic, I would don a simple black bamboo tank, one of the following two pairs of pants, and go happily barefoot and carefree on my way.  Oh, and I'd hang the wreath on the door of my Airstream.

Pink Pants: "All Around The World Dark Pink Printed Rayon Harem Pants" by aftershowershop
Tie-Dye Pants: "Ring My Bell Multicolour Tie Dye Pants No. 4" by aftershowershop
Wreath: "Happy Camper Yarn Wreath" by GoodieTrueShoes

Happy thoughts!

Yours truly,
Alex

Osborn Shoes

I have been coveting Osborn Shoes for over a year now and wish I would have bought them when I first saw them...now that I'm broke and have already spent my last paycheck from work, I'm truly kicking myself (with crappy shoes).  Don't make the same mistake I did.  They're 20% off if you use the discount code: SUMMER when you check out.  (All online purchases only before July 31, 2010.)

Happy skipping!

Yours truly,

Alex

PS: Those are the jellyBean Corte Oxfords!

I am not an alcoholic but...

...these are A M A Z I N G ! ! !

I love that Vat 19 lists the flavors of these gummy shot glasses (YES GUMMY!) as "red, blue, and orange" and the next set as "lemon, lime, and cola."  You just have to decide what goes best with your gummy shot glass!  (I'd be the girl sitting there eating empty shot glasses - MUHAHA!)

Happy Tuesday Morning!

Yours truly,
Alex

Damn French Desserts

Here I am trying to design my own label, business cards, etc...when I should have contacted "damnfrenchdesserts" all along!  Above is her "Queen To The Bone Cards (Set of Ten)" and below is "Dissecting Godiva (Five Cards and Envelopes)."

I found them through Etsy Finds and am happy to say that you can find them in quite a few places:

Happy Victorian Ephemera (as DFD would say)!

Restore Clothing...restore yourself

Hi Nomads, have you heard of Restore Clothing?  This is their Voyage Pant and I can't help but LOVE how they photographed them for the website - certainly not your average pant photography!  I also am a huge fan of their ideals: "responsible, earth friendly, sustainable, technological, organic, recycled, ergonomic."  I think I have a new wish list.  I'm also coveting the "no-side-seams" Legging...

Happy ethics!

Yours truly,

Alex

Spend more money on Apple!

"Rene Magritte - The Son of Man MacBook Decal" by MacSlaps

Not going to lie to you, nomads...I just bought the Magritte.  The "Lost in Space" Robot B9 is officially getting relocated!  A big thank-you to Jamie for showing these to me.  YES!

Happy sticking!

Yours truly,

Alex

Hair Lariats!

Oh Refinery 29...you had me at "The Neverending Story Empress"...yes!  Ironically, I did this look by wearing a pearl necklace in my hair to my Junior Prom.  The hair stylist thought I was INSANE!  But, I still love those photos - I'm going to have to dig those up!  Oh Mother!

I'm coveting the one on the right...

Find Sasha Samuel's hair lariats at New York Vintage, 117 W. 25th Street (between 6th and 7th avenues); 212-647-1107.  And see more photos at Refinery 29's original post by Connie Wang HERE!  (They always know how to do it!)

Happy hunting!
