 Glamour, personified.

Sad, sad day.
Read this book a while ago, very much recommend it. 

Her's was a life worth telling.

Must see this immédiatement.

I see you bloom in this sun that we have shaped

I have always had an appreciation for beautifully constructed spaces, but lately I have had a greater awareness of architecture and its intangible relationship with our lives. I think it may very well have to do with living in New York City, the architecture {obviously} envelops you, becoming your landscape; Something that is so drastically different from growing up in one of the most naturally inspiring environments, California.
   I stumbled across this amazing documentary on Julius Shulman. It is not only a touching portrait of a man that shaped the way we view architecture, but the story of Southern California's own architectural heritage. I have always dreamed of owning a mid-century home in LA or Palm Springs, and now realize this dream was partly constructed out of Shulman's photographs.
   I had the luxury of being able to work closely this past spring in some of Schindler's homes, and can't even begin to illustrate their beauty. For that I'll leave it to Mr. Shulman, who does an incredible job in this film. A must see...

Can Decisions Shape Your Life

Can't wait for this new film by an (obvious) favorite Sofia Coppola.. Will make me dream and miss LA while in cold NY this winter...

Have been dying to see this film- check it out this weekend at the Tribeca film festival or the ColCoa film festival in LA..

parce qu'elle l'aime

Ahh Godard, you make my heart sing. Nothing puts me in a better mood than a glass of wine and a Godard film.. Since I was first introduced to Alphaville by my (uncomprehendingly beautiful) french film professor in college, I was hooked. His films have a timeless way of calling us out on our bullshit in a way that is so enjoyable. Yesterday I watched Une Femme est Une Femme, starring one of my all time idols, Anna Karina. The film is so quirky, but is so spot on in its portrayal of the relationship between men and women. Absolutely love it all, the colors, the clothes, the music, the attitudes..
