...one of those rare collections that left me beyond breathless...

the embellished lace helmuts (as I like to call them) are alone works of art.

bravo, sarah burton.

structured eclecticism

...inspiring me lately

1. photography by masha sardari (14 years old) 2. tree houses - so intimate and playful 3. new prada candy perfume, the colors in particular 4. tolstoy quote 5. van dongen paintings - those eyes! 6. and as always, nirvana - can you believe it's been 20 years since the release of nevermind?

david hamilton

david hamilton -- the british photographer known for his soft focus images of young women.

much like sally mann, his work has been somewhat controversial

for his use of young, often nude females as his subjects.

he captures such a sense of time, beauty, and nostalgia in his work.

cults

though this blog is not officially about music, it is officially about inspiration.

upon recently discovering the band CULTS, i am beyond inspired.

an indie band. started by a duo at nyu. vintage but fresh feel. and very relevant.

check out their music here.

oh, and isn't their album cover great?
