What was that? Did you say you're jealous because Christian Lander, creator of Stuff White People Like, just wrote "Sweet glasses and you will not get a job" in my copy of the book (and obviously signed the inside cover of my hip moleskine notebook with "this will one day be a great novel"). English majors unite!

**note: the image above is pretty much the whitest photo I have saved on my computer.

this kind of makes me sick...

go ahead. wear amazing leopard coats and perfect boots and carry pretty bags and work for vogue nippon. see if i care.

things i love: juergen teller

i'm not always bowled over by fashion photography, but i've always found juergen teller's images so unique and fascinating. from his use of saturated color and bright whites to his ability to capture his subjects in a way that communicates the vulnerability, awkwardness, uncertainty, and instability of mankind, teller's work is always provocative and revealing while remaining beautifully candid.

here are a few of my favorite images of his:

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.
