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.

Barbican, EC2, London

Sorry, no pictures yet of Madrid. We got home relatively late last night and I just wanted to crawl into my bed. So instead, here's a few old pictures of the Barbican. One of my favourite spaces in London - it is an art, dance, theatre, culture and conference building just off the 'City'. It also has residences and business space mingled in.

In the spring, they hosted an incredible art exhibit on birds and their relationship with music. In a big open room (with a few nooks and crannies), little white birds had free rein to fly around and, by chance, make music by perching on the cymbals or guitars (all wired to speakers). The best part was that birds had started to nest in the guitars and had water in the cymbals.
