i want to go to there

I really want this to be my weekend. Friends, intimate setting and yet in such an iconic and grandiose place. And Jordan Fearney made it all possible.

travel photographs, 1920s

Can you really believe these colour photos were taken in the 1920s?

Albert Kahn, a French banker and philanthropist, travelled the world in the 20s (yes he had loads of dough!) to collect a photographic record of the world. Before the stock market crash, he collected 180,000 metres of b/w film and 72,000 autochrome plates. The photographs are amazing - they look like an artist rendition. And it reminds me you of all the destruction/construction between the wars...

Images found via the Albert Kahn museum, found through Graphic Exchange.

Letters to dead people, beyond

How did I not find this website earlier? Celine Song has created this sometimes ironic, sometimes sweet and sometimes brutally honest blog about her ' letters' to the famous dead.

Images and the fabulous 'Letters to Dead People' website... what is your favourite?

Trafalgar Square, London

Design week in London has arrived! Liam and I are headed to Trafalgar Square tonight to take control of the audi production robots and write messages in the sky.. There's a long exposure camera that will capture the messages and upload them on the web.

Have a lovely weekend. I hope to get back to posting in a regular fashion again!

Dreaming, office

I'm back from New York and have been hit with a busy work schedule and excessive jet lag. I'd rather be working in that office instead.

Friday highlights

Strangely, I'm off again. I'm meeting my brother and sister-in-law halfway by traveling to New York. We're staying a week, I only have to do one day in the office and going to a Yankees game. Life is sweet.

• Looking for new ways to style my bangs as I grow out the worst haircut ever and this is an amazing guide...
• Now this girl could dance at her wedding...
• Thank you DesignSponge. Featured one of my top 10 movies in this week's 'Living In'...
• Who doesn't want to rock post earrings? A new project when I return from New York...
• I'm really sorry that I missed this exhibition in London. If it was actually affordable, wouldn't MMM be the perfect travel wear?..
• I'm thinking I should start making inspiration boards for travel. I was recently inspired by this fall Snippet and Ink board...

autumn style for london, part 2

Other inspiration for my autumn 2010 look is from COS, a UK high street store. How perfect are those outfits for lazy Saturdays (or maybe the leather outfit for a bit more of a night out on a Saturday)? I just adore the neutral beige and charcoal colours that come back when the leaves fall.

i want to go to there

Autumn has come to London in full force. It's officially sweater and tight weather again. And it's reminding me of winter. Which, therefore, reminds me that I'm not going back to Victoria for Christmas this year. I'm a little homesick, so today, I want to go to there.

My image taken during Christmas 2008. It was snowy fabulousness.
