500 days of summer

they made this as a supplement to 500 Days of Summer. it's a bit of a role reversal compared to the movie... so i don't see entirely how it relates, but zooey deschanel and joseph gordon-levitt are just so freakin' cute together! and who knew jgl could move like that?!

dakota fanning

i think it should be illegal for someone 15-years-old to look this attractive (add taylor momsen to that list as well). regardless, her photoshoot with vogue was gorgeous. there's a nice mix of subtle masculine details with the full, feminine skirts. and oohhh the long, loosely braided hair that looks so "i just woke up and i'm still gorgeous" is killer too.

soy mamelle

i wish my lactard milk came in a bottle like this. it would make having digestive issues much more enjoyable!



* found via the dieline

it's IKEA, of course.

oooh this has got me all excited way too early in the morning. before i head off to be a little snow bunny at Sunapee for the day i just wanted to share this kitchen setup i found on emmas designblogg. i guess it's only appropriate that for a swedish design blog that she has posts including IKEA products, seeing as IKEA is a swedish company. but what i've never seen before it taking their ASKER series and making it vertical, AND using the little utensil holder for plants. how cute :)

david bellemere

i couldn't find much more information about david bellemere other than that he's a regular photographer for italian marie claire magazine, but regardless, i think the photos can speak for themselves. sexy, confident women within a strong geometric yet natural context. yeah, ok, and they're primarily nude, but if i looked like that i wouldn't want to wear clothes either.




























* i couldn't find a personal website, but i found a lot of the images here and you can check out a large chunk of the rest of his work here.

david maisel

i'm just starting a project for school designing the boston office of the department of neighborhood development and while cruising around the internet this morning i came across the photography of david maisel. now although his photography is purely landscape i think this would definitely relate to the urban environment i'm designing for. besides its obvious grungy, textural feel the coloring and contrast of the lakes, as well as the structural grids created by the banks, feels very much like a city's atmosphere - lively, structured (see tall building/home construction and web of roads), geometric, and full of color and energy.

the society by sibella court

i realize everyone in the blogosphere is gushing over this right now, but i can't help express my love as well. sibella court, the brains behind the society, does styling for residential, commercial, and editorial, mural painting, wedding design, and has her own online shop as well (which won't load for me - ahh!). the moodiness of her portfolio images are what totally captured me though. there are a lot of whites, blacks, indigos, mixed with woods, burlap, and other textures and patterns. and as a little pack rat myself i love her collections of objects - placed perfectly, of course.
