I ♥ Collage

If you've read this blog in the past, you may know how much I love collage and collage style art. That's why I was excited to find Eduardo Recife, an artist after my own heart. He loves typography, vintage, and has an affinity for the distant past. Yes, please.

Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.

I am not huge into summer fashion. I don't love light colors, I feel naked without tights on and there is nothing better to me than a big, comfy sweater. Today I'm actually wearing a black dress, black tights and a black sweater.

This disinterest in summer fashion most definitely includes swimwear. For the past few years I have avoided the loathsome task of finding the "right" swim suit and have just foregone swimming activities. I really don't want to do that this year. My main problem with modern bathing suits is the lack of variety, detail and creative cut. I feel as though getting dressed to lounge poolside or lay on the beach used to be as important as dressing for dinner. Suits used to look like outfits, now they tend to look like not-particularly-interesting underwear.














Style aside, there's also a comfort factor. Now this may be fine for a girl with no butt, and not to be vulgar, but if you've got the slightest bit of booty, this is riding up all day.



Anyway, that's why I was so excited to find this suit from Geronimo. It looks vintage, feels modern and fits for the way a girl with a butt likes to actually move. And it helps that it's named for a girl with some amazing style.

So, as Picture-A-Day has been on hiatus, I think I'll just post random pictures from my life. Without context. Hope you enjoy.

Indoor Kid

I don't know what my deal is, but I am just not feeling summery. I think the weather is going to be amazing this weekend, but all I want to do is the following:



Even after all the fun we had at the park for K's birthday last weekend, I'm still feeling the pull of the indoors and some quality writing/editing time (yes, I'm STILL editing my book). We're having a huge yard sale, however, so I think I shall be forced out anyway. And we'll see if I snap out of it.

Have a marvelous weekend.

Poof

Do you ever get the urge to just make everything around you go *poof* and just start afresh? I'm having that now for no particular reason. Oh, random urges.

Collecting

I like to collect things. I think I've said this here before. Lately I've had to resist the urges of this habit because I'm running out of space. So it's no wonder that I get a buzzy happy high from Lisa Congdon's blog A Collection a Day, 2010.

Some favorites.














And she miraculously manages to keep her apartment relatively clutter-free. Amazing.
