snow!

now all i need is that amazing leopard coat and i'll be set!

polaroid withdrawal

So i've been hearing a lot of rumors about the progress of the Impossible Project, but it seems that there is very little definite information concerning the return of polaroid. Supposedly polaroid has agreed to team up with the Impossible Project to facilitate a rerelease of one-600 film but some are saying the film will be in stores at the end of the month (isn't it the end of the month now?) while others say mid-2010... Also unsure what Lady GaGa has to do with all of this but apparently she's involved? Could someone kindly tell me what's going on?!

In the meantime, here are a few polaroids that I took this summer at pawleys island that I just got around to scanning:

things i love...

so i realized i don't have the best track record with these weekly post ideas but i thought it would be fun to try to post every friday about one thing that makes me happy. this week, it's kate spade's whimsical ads. not only are they pretty and cheerful, they also capture a certain wit and charm that makes me smile.

i heard that.

creative spaces

i've been working on new stories and have been trying to stay creative by reading, writing, drawing, and photographing. here are some images that capture that creative spirit (and look pretty, too!):
(margot tenenbaum could teach me a thing or two about multitasking)

(kate spade and i share a love of vintage books)

(a cheery and colorful artist's studio)

(rita konig's cozy bedroom in her ny apartment)

(girl-crush charlotte gainsbourg in the studio)

and also...

...i really want this bike: the gary fisher simple city bicycle. isn't it just perfect?! too bad it's approaching $1000--a little out of my price range.

animal farm

so happy i came across Sharon Montrose's shamelessly adorable photos of baby animals. these might just be the cure for a bad day or crabby mood. check out her etsy shop for more tiny creatures!

brain drain

while on the whole I have high hopes, exciting goals, and positive thoughts about 2010, the past few days have made me want to throw in the towel (temporarily). how about you straighten out my life and figure out where I should go and what I should do while I curl up here and read Franny and Zooey. Oui ou non?
