9. This is what I listen to when I workout. Nearly on repeat. The rest of the album deserves a good listen, also.
8. Have you checked out American Craft Council? They have a great article, “In Defense of the Art History Major,” that focuses on our society’s money-driven discourse, which will eventually die out. “What endures in a civilization is not its spreadsheets and financial instruments but its plays and sculptures, its sonatas and paintings.” I think a balance is essential.
7. Petite Taupe, these are just the prettiest little lockets I ever did see. I’m also fond of your little headphone charms.
6. I have a pretty hefty confession coming: I have not read Wuthering Heights in its entirety. I’ve had two classes that required it, but with everything else I had going on, who wants to read Victorian prose? Well, I’m reading it now. In my leisure time. And admittedly, I love it. The limited edition Penguin Classic cover (illustrated by Ruben Toledo) caught my eye. I realize I, as an English major, should maybe not point that out. But what’s wrong with a great book that also has a great cover? Also of note, I want ALL OF THE PENGUIN CLASSIC INSPIRED MUGS I CAN HAVE.
5. Completely in love with this series by Amy Friend. “In a literal and somewhat playful manner, I aimed to give the photographs back to the light, hence the title of the series, Daré alla Lucé, an Italian phrase used to describe the moment of birth.”
4. I miss using white charcoal on black paper. Or using charcoal at all, really. When I take it back up, this will be at the top of my illustration list.
3. I am a huge fan of Matt Wisniewski’s collage work. The silhouettes combined with nature are lovely.
2. MON POMPADOUR: a blog dedicated to a love of Rococo. Look at this intricate beading! What a bustle. I found it while pinning this absurdly large hair photo.
1. I need some movie recommendations. Not that I have very much free time. But who’s watching what?
Lately I have been into comedies from the late 90′s and early 00′s that is the 2000′s not the 1900′s hehe. Probably not what you were thinking but they have been the perfect end of summer watch!
THOSE ARE THE BEST YEARS FOR SITCOMS! So that’s perfect!
I love everything from then, and I also love to lament the fact it seems like they just came out!
