fifty states


I saw this video a long time ago but I just remembered it. I thought I would share it, it's so beautifully constructed. The images match the pace of the voice over perfectly. I couldn't figure out how to embed it, so go here to watch the video.

i can't believe i didn't know about this until now


read more about the project here, and look at all the wonderful submissions.
We have been having the most beautiful pink evenings lately. Yesterday K and I went to the lake and took some photos, trying to capture the exact quality of the light. Our attempts were humble but oh so fun. Pictures soon.
We have also seen the biggest gold coin moons suspended over the buildings and the tops of trees. If there were people living there I would have seen their faces by now.

oh miranda july! How I love thee. Go here for more.

The photos are of K's trip on the zephyr from chicago to san francisco (nevada and colorado.)

Rowan Helsinki Scarf.

Socks







My brother said 'September doesn't mess around.' He was right; autumn has nipped in. Last night I slept in a pair of red ribbed thigh-high socks my mama has had since I was born. These are some great sock and legging related looks (from top: Stylemob, Gap Tights, The Sartorialist (2), and Rowan pattern book.)

Blood Orange Thing


Isn't this a great scarf? From Etsy seller Blood Orange Thing. I went to her recently set up blog which I predict is going to be a very inspirational place. She has some nice things to say about organic and sustainable farming and cloth production.

Pola



Beautiful images from +Maco+'s photostream. The yellow petal I think would be a wonderful textile print. So lovely to see ordinary flowers and sky in a way you haven't seen before.
