Karen O'Leary is an artist who cuts out street maps out of paper by hand.
Must have one of these maps on my wall. I'll chose my favorite location of the moment, Downtown L.A.

*Nice to get gifts from the BF. Sad when you thought you wanted something, return it, and have to choose something else. So many great choices.

J.Crew

Love J.Crew's advertisement this year (I've been looking at this same picture while reading my daily Refinery 29 e-news). The Styling is amazing, and of course I checked out the rest of the site. Great stuff as always.

Biker Boots

LOVE winter for the great selection of boots.
JCrew has produced a spin on the classic biker leather boots and year after year I can't keep my eye off the Frye Engineer Boot.
So many great choices...

Art in the Age

Posters For the People-Art of the WPA

The Originality of the Avant-Garde and Other Modernist Myths by Rosalind Krauss

Was doing my usual online B.Sing and came across this site. My obvious attraction was based on the name of the website...a very familiar and famous writing by Walter Benjamin, "Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction". This site is full of wonderful Art Prints, Quilts, Clothing, Accessories, but I am especially lusting their book section. (Art in the Age)

High End Organic

I received this lovely email from Barney's today. Phillip Lim's Green line. This organic t-shirt will set you back $150. I love this shirt and in an alternate reality it might be possible. With more mouths to feed the max I am willing to pay for a t-shirt is $25. Call me cheap...
