My Saturday night

My boyfriend took me out for dinner for no reason other than because he loves me. Is that sweet or what? I had a salad with apples, gorganzola cheese, bacon, and candied/ sugar coated walnuts (real healthy right? lol) , and he had “surf n’ turf”. The only bad thing was that we could not hear each other without shouting because the table next to us was some kind of bridal shower or something.

Speaking of bridal showers, last night I went to one for my friend Rachel from high school (pictured below), and tomorrow I go to my friend Sara’s wedding. Personally I don’t mind taking it slow in the marriage area, but I am happy for them!

I want these…

First let me start by saying I loved the Sex and the City movie! I’m glad it ended on a happy note, but wow, so cruel what Mr. Big did to Carrie! I won’t say any more so as not to spoil it. Anyways, here are some cute things I wouldn’t mind having.

Carrie Bradshaw Outfits

Yesterday I went to the movie theatre and got 6 tickets for the Sex and the City midnight opening, for only $2.00 a ticket! Can you believe that? It’s one of the last bargains left in the world. Anyways I seriously can’t wait to go to this. I am going to wear one of my favorite vintage floral “Carrie” dresses, and I am trying to get my friend Heath to dress as Stanford. It’s going to be a blast. If that weren’t fun enough, the season finally of Lost is on tonight too! Woohoo!

Music for while you wait for tomorrow

Tomorrow night, the night I’ve been waiting for…the midnight showing of Sex and the City! While waiting there is no better music to listen to than Malcolm McLaren’s jazzy sexy-chic music which you can listen to on his myspace page here!

Oddities and Things in my room Part 1

A little sample of some of the creative chaos on my shelves.

Styrofoam head, wearing a faux fur stole, and the floppy black hat I wore this past winter. She looks to be crying, but it was paint that dripped from her eye by mistake.

This is a light box/ lamp…my dad and I have made these at least three times in my life that I can remember. Basically he would build the box and make the lighting and switch work, and I would paint them. I never finished this one but it was the weirdest thing…I came up with this design and then the following spring, Marc Jacobs (and I think it was a collaboration with graphic artist Geoff McFetridge?) had a similar print on the runway with the mouths and everything. I’ve heard that sometimes artists and designers have a collective creative conscious of some sort, where they all sense similar ideas. Sort of the idea behind trend forecasting I suppose. Not sure if that is true, or if I’m even in on it, but there have been a few eerie coincidences throughout time.

What we have here: a photo of me and my brother, ages 7 and 4, playing in the leaves, an awesome piece of collage art that an ebay seller gave as an unexpected surprise in the box that came with shoes I bought, and a handmade birthday card from one of my best friends.

Nylon magazines starting from 2003, I reference them weekly for inspiration!

Miniature fairy tale wedding

I cannot believe how cute this thing is that I saw here on craftster. What a great wedding gift idea! Some day I would love to create something like this.
