Weekend

I had a rough weekend as I try and finish up some projects/study. Friday night I saw Ariel Pink & Os Mutantes though, which was a great time. Now back to work :/

Birthday

My birthday weekend was great. Had a party at our apartment which had a good turnout as well as dancing. My dude took me to dinner at Nightwood, where I had a whole trout (my crap camera makes it look less appetizing than it was...delicious I swear) and fancy drinks, brunch with a girlfriend was brioche french toast! As for presents, I acquired the Nine West "Kender" boots...soooo comfy, and the Brothers Bray Rucksack in Olive Green. It is very roomy inside and has a waterproof lining, and reinforced leather straps. I love it.

Lived-in comfort

As much as I love everything-in-its-place mid century modern, I have been more drawn to lived in spaces that have warmth and a care-free sense to them. Case in point, illustrator Frank Höhne's place as featured on Freunde von Freunden.

Some inspiration for my (birthday!) weekend

Dudua, Frankie, the amazing Russian Red whom I have a girl-crush on, zines in Chicago

Sisters

I usually listen to the Boswell Sisters around this time of year (autumn/winter), and it makes me wish I had sisters since I'd most likely force them to make a Boswell cover group with me.

olga bennett

My mind is a bit like these Olga Bennett photos lately. Hazy & sometimes cluttered.

first Matzo Ball soup & Kugel at Manny's Cafe (the whole meal made me really need a Tums), Ida the cat, my street-with the large monument at the end of it

Busy busy

I've started a design program, on top of studying for the test to enter Graduate school and prepping for school applications as well so it's made things a bit sparse around here. Still updating my tumblr on a semi-regular basis though.

(the photo is from the weekend, I visited an airstream trailer on a roof...long story)
