spectacular spectacular.

oxygen has a new show coming out: hair battle spectacular.

i'm thinking it's gonna be a half a step above rupaul's drag race,

but i'll still be tuning in. you know there's gonna be so much drama.

hair drama is the best (and worst) kind. can't WAIT!

animal print.

obsessed with these sharon montrose prints.

i love them all but the giraffe is especially adorable.

seen via a cup of jo and 20X200.

LACMA.

a couple of weekends ago, miss brittany and i took a quick trip to LACMA.

there are a couple of INCREDIBLE exhibits right now.

. john singleton copley, watson and the shark .

there is an incredible american stories exhibit.

i took an american humanities class in college and it was so

great to see so many of the paintings that i had studied in college.

so so SO exciting!

. pierre-auguste renoir, gabrielle with a rose .

the renoir exhibit was to DIE for! it showcased a lot of renoir's

post-impressionism paintings that were a nod to a more classical style.

the paintings were GORGEOUS and i learned so much about renoir!

after the museum, i forced brittany into

an impromptu photo shoot. she's a sassy little miss.

before we headed home, we made a stop at an

excavation site at the la brea tar pits. FOSSILS, people!

kinda random. kinda fun. all in all, a good day.

tumblr.

i know, i know...i'm behind the times.

and i still don't totally understand it but here's what i DO know:

tumblr ROCKS!

here are my faves from ghosts in your bed.

so good, right?! luuuurve it!

and now...to figure out how it all works.

any thoughts?

how much...

...would i have to pay someone to cut out all the felt circles

to make this awesome curtain featured on design*sponge?

now accepting bids.

for dee-oh.

i have a darling friend, dee-oh, who has been rockin'

some sexy facial hair for awhile now.

when i saw this, all i could hear was dee-oh's voice

in my head: beards ARE great!

the kind that doesn't hurt.

i've always loved ee cummings.

this paper cut miracle from made by julene

is a line from one of his most famous poems.

doesn't it just melt your heart?

itchy feet.

i'm itchin' to get out of town.

this paris rooftop series by alicia bock

is fanning the flames.

time to start trollin' for flights.

who's with me?

oh ira.

this is a great bit about the creative process.

here's to years of sucking on the pathway to

being ridiculously awesome.

{good share, susan!}

awesomeness.

snagged this lovely little print

from the small object this week.

seriously...i'm obsessed.

anyway, it's my new mantra.

everyday deserves to be awesome.

sometimes i just need a little reminder.

{spotted on you are my fave}

all these things shall give thee experience.

{spotted on brown button}

diy decor.

i wanna make this pvc frame. like...bad.

i feel like it's cheating to order the kit, but i'm a busy gal.

my crafting has it's limits. ah well.

do you think painting it a color would be too much?

naomi at rockstar diaries blogged about 

casey o'connell awhile ago. 

she obsessed over when freckles collide.

i find myself obsessing as well.

here are a few of my faves.

{crab and jellyfish sittin' in a tree}

abstract yet soft.

the colors. 

brilliant blues. ravishing reds. 

{good red, good purple, call me if you need me}

and this one. yes, this one has my heart. 

simple yet sassy.
