iWant. AurélieBidermann

Check out some of these amazing pieces from Aurelie Bidermann. Woah. Lovin her creativity + wouldn't mind having a few of these myself! They remind me of Thailand + some of the jewlery designers there. Time to day dream about going back...enjoy these while I do just that.

Photographer I LOVE: Lauren Dukoff

devendra banhart @ his home in LA.

she + him.

the beautiful shannyn sossamon

lady gaga, herself.

katy perry.

miss bootylicious. beyonce knowles.

A while ago, I stumbled across Lauren Dukoff's work + I immediately gravitated towards her portraits. She takes beautiful photographs, each one commanding attention. It probably helps that she takes shots of famous musicians, but I love that they all tell a story that evokes a sense of curiosity. Of all the ones above, I think my personal favorite is Miss Beyonce. What's yours?

Porcelain Gem Necklace

Sometimes things I see make me feel really really really crafty. And these necklaces by The Porcelain Gem Necklace are doing it right now. I LOVE the mix of ceramic + metal. They give such an edgy-yet-delicate feel. Enjoy.

[SD]eatz: La Lucha Libre

kinda like my living room...on crack.

carne asada burrito. enough said.

she's my best friend.

huge mural.

uh. so cute these two.

So this weekend I ventured out to a new little spot called La Lucha Libre with some lovely ladies. This taco shop is located in Mission Hills + the burritos are pretty much wonderful. I was loving the mexican wrestler theme too. Quite a fun spot to check out if you've got some time to wait in line.

favorite place in sd.

it's our motto for 2011. good riddance 2010.

Here are my foto's for today. I got off of work a little early so I headed down to the harbor to get some sun + read for a while. It was quite amazing to get a few hours alone to just read + write + pray.

art inspiration: {Alex Asher Daniel}

This is Alex Asher Daniel.

I am pretty speechless. I almost don't want to say anything to take away from his beautiful paintings. So I guess I just won't.

Enjoy.

new necklace.

glory.

self portrait.

Here are my fotos for the day! Lovin this challenge because it forces me to observe the things around me + try to capture at least one moment in time. I got my necklace yesterday in Santa Monica + I am really wanting to make one. It reminds me of a skeleton or something. That's all. Time to go.
