stuart haygarth.

mmmk. uno mas and then i am for reals done taking stuff off design love fest's blog and re-posting here. but for reals, DLF is way cooler than me, and i'm coming off a pretty fierce blogging hiatus, so a little slack, folks. alls i need is a wee bit of slack.

stuart haygarth is a british lighting designer, aside from being pretty nuts, and by nuts, i mean riding that fine line between brilliant and crazy. i'll take a glasses chandelier anyday. plus, i am very much pro-recycling. sidenote: if you are not recycling your glass, plastic and paper, you are a giant douchebag. no points deducted if you have not yet turned your recycling into light fixtures.

the style of music.

i'm a sucker for collections, music and especially music posters, so LUCKY ME. just in time for halloween (for those of you celebrating, uh, tonight?), i have happened upon a pretty rad poster/poster series from everyguyed. purchase for yourself (or for me!!) here.

sixteen candles.

or rather, DAYS. sixteen days until i get married. thank you, bed bath and beyond, for the terrifying daily countdown. many pardons for the absence, but as you well know, i am a very classy lady and try to spend my time writing thank you cards for the eons of very nice things that are being done for me right now, when i am not doing my very best to lose 15 pounds.

plus we leave early in the morning for the austin city limits music festival.

so many apologies for the non-existent and shady blogging, oh faithful nine readers. i promise to be back soon.

converse.

i love me some converse, but WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON THESE DAYS? if at all possible, i would like to show up in this outfit somewhere. just to see the look on people's faces. or this one.

the flaming lips, more flaming-er.

i'm sure cally has already seen this, but just in case... the flaming lips, covering borderline, by madonna. kind of a slow starter, but extremely awesome. and since most of my friends are FL fans, this will hopefully be a crowd-pleaser.

cycle nation takes paris, parts one and two.

remember that time i said i was going to london and paris? i have really blown the pooch with my photo and memory sharing via this blog, but please watch and enjoy the videos below as a small consolation. mad cinematography props to mizz audrey moore-johnson, international maven of style and bicycle-riding.

jason schwarzman is in coconut records?

le what? jason schwartzman might be the most interesting person alive. according to his wikipedia, he was also in a band called phantom planet. i have all their albums, yet never knew he was in that band. i blame audrey, since i'm pretty sure i snagged those cd's, or at least copied them, during our commie china roommate days. ALSO, jschwartz is a cousin to sofia coppola. so there you go.

i used to tell myself that, although my dogs are complete assholes, they are still not the worst dogs i've ever met, and are actually somewhat smart. USED TO. as of now, my dogs are completely, utterly worthless, because this golden retriever is the Smartest. Dog. Alive. someone needs to give him (or her) a lifetime supply of greenies and a reality television program.

unbridled.

dear anthropolgie-

please remove all text and sales gimmicks from this advert, and just sell it as a picture. how you were able to distort the loveliest photo in the world is beyond me.

namaste,

kristina

ps-I LOVE HORSES. as you may note from the book selection below, i am actually crazy about horses. why else would i have the poster book?
