it’s not TOO late to brag about presents, right?


IMG_4713Hey thanks ma and pa for the dee vee dees, five or six of which are rated R! BADASS!

Been watching all of these NONSTOP. Criterion Collection Tenenbaums is so good, you guys.

Two of my favorite artists. The Yayoi Kusama book carries special sentimental value too..we went to an exhibit of hers + 9 other artists in London with some of the Pop crew! And the first time I went to the new wing of the Art Institute here in Chicago, I wrote down all the names of artists I liked to look up when I got home. The only one whose name stuck in my head without having to write it down was Gerhard Richter. I have more to write on him later when I post pictures from the book but he is my favorite painter, we’ll leave it at that for now. I remember wanting to buy the book at the museum store but my dad said no, so this is lovely!

Things with pretty colors!

Stickers…mini cards + envelopes for little worlds..bird magnets…scarf…Joseph Cornell’s diary of dreams, which is simply AMAZING despite terrible font usage on front cover…

I just love this color combination and raw, natural-feeling textures mixed with quiet glitz.
