WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THAT WALL?


Whatever it is, it's just amazeballs, and that's that.

thanksforit, D Magazine

SO AWESOMELY 70S


Gotta love Vera Neumann. Daddy adores a jaunty scarf on a breezy day!

AS IF YOU WILL EVEN BE ABLE TO GET YOUR SIZE!



I like the Zac Posen for Target collection, but I can't get excited because it is impossible to ever get your hands on these in NYC! Don't get me started, don't even get me started.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME WALK ON PINS AND NEEDLES


I sure as hell hope that they're these Lanvin tie pins!
thanksforit, modeman

LA JUST SEEMS SO FUN!


But maybe instead of actually moving there I can just snuggle up in my reading chair with some hot tea and Taschen's new book.
thanksforit, ACL

STEAL THIS IDEA



Not that it's brilliantly new, but I always get jealous of "one ___ a day" type projects, like the Shipley and Halmos boys have started with their new one-drawing-a-day blog . Let's do one! All together now, girls and boys!

PURDY PWEASE


Buy me a lil' somethin' with polka dots? I promise to be good ;)
thanksforit, fashionisto

DUCKIE BROWN!


So I kind of love the label Duckie Brown, both for their lighthearted name and because they are a another cool DESIGN DUO (hint hint baby).
Side note for baby: like that Longo poster in the background?
thanksforit AGAIN, ponystep

TRUE CONFESSIONS: I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF LIGHT BOXES


So these giant light box installations by London street artist Cyclops are like WAY cool in my opinion.
thanksforit, ponystep

WHY DON'T WE DRAW MORE?


Is it just me or are we relying too much on cameras lately? Come ON people. Stop being so lazy and just start HAND DRAWING all the fashion week looks. It won't take that long, plus you could use a little brush up on your technique.

I TOO HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HAND ROLLING MY CIGARETTES


But then I think about how much work it is and I remember why I buy packaged camel lights... the finest cigarettes known to man.

NOT TO SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD


But I just keep seeing my jacket EVERYWHERE. I usually wear mine collar-up though... like too-tan guy on the left with stoned eyes, rapist smile, and lots of exposed taco meat.

FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY!


Apologies for the sheisty photo quality, but say hello to my Friday shoes!

SMALL ENOUGH FOR THE POCKET OF YOUR SKINNY JEANS


Teeny tiny Minox Leica M3 Digital Classic Camera might be the answer to Daddy's recent yearnings for a "fancy" new camera. Why are small things so freaking fascinating??

I'M REALLY TRYING HERE


But I just don't know if I can come to terms with this one-- it's a romper, according to JCrew, so I'm thinking beach cover up? Nightgown replacement? But then there's a zipper up the back, throwing a wrench into all my plans. Fitted romper just seems weird. And yet... I want it.

AND I LOVE HER HAIR, TOO


Here's a jumpsuit that doesn't scream I'M CRAZY!!!!!

ARE YOU TRYING TO TOUCH MY BUTT?


Stop touching my butt. Just get away from my big butt. I don't want you anywhere near my butt.

IF ONLY I WERE LESS OF A PUSSY


And felt brave enough to wear Bernhard Willhelm's kooky klothes. I'd also have to be kind of wealthy. Brave and wealthy.
So I'll just be over here, shy and poor, wearing plain, stupid clothes until that happens.
thanksforit, oki-ni

THAT'S IT. I'M HAVING NINE KIDS.


So that each one can be a different theme! Just kidding I want all nine of mine to be like "The Dutch Girl." Just kidding again! I don't like kids.
thanksforit, interview magazine

I'VE MISSED YOU NANNA!


Another Bottega Veneta ad by Nan Goldin! Such pretty light Nanna, as always.
thanksforit, fashionisto

THE SEARCH CONTINUES...


For all things perfect, gray, and sweatshirt. Pretty close, right??

PLEASE ME





No joke, I could literally have only Marimekko everything and be totally happy. Maybe I would appear INSANE to the rest of you, but what do I care? Have fun living your Finnish whimsy-free lives.
thanksforit, www.marimekko.com/eng

MARFA, MARFA, MARFA


Why is Marfa ubiquitous in my life? If these felted wool pillows, cushions and ottomans by a Texas ex-librarian don't give you a nice happy Rothko feeling, then, well, you're an idiot.

LIFE ENVY


While it rains cats and dogs in NYC, Baby is daydreaming about afternoon summer swimming.

MAD PROPS TO YOU


Brave Birkin owners! Can you imagine being this CASUAL with your billion zillion dollar bag? It's not like drawing on your chucks, for goodness sake!

LOVES.

3.21.2010

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE?


Regular heel-wearers, I envy your lifestyle, but don't you ever just feel silly? Meanwhile, in flats-land (at least for now) Baby's heart hurts for these.

YOUNG DADDY


Wee Daddy was just like this amazing little boy, except with a bowl cut and choker necklace. But this is what he should have looked like.

thanksforit, jakandjil

MAN I LOVE SUCCULENTS



Vertical gardens! Perfect! Maybe I wouldn't kill these by radically overwatering them, like I may or may not have done in the past...

CITY HALL STYLE


Enough of this wedding dress talk, what about the WAY cooler elopement dress? Wow. I just did all the work for you.

thanksforit, stella mccartney

WON'T YOU?

RAF



I like how his ads always imply movement and his models always look slightly uncomfortable.
thanksforit, homotography

THESE ARE THE BOOKSHELVES DREAMS ARE MADE OF


And yet, how will I ever amass such a large collection of books? Maybe baby will give me her spares, her castoffs. daddy's books will be just for show anyway... nobody's actually going to read them... pfft.
thanksforit, theselby

I'M HAVING ANOTHER ERYKAH BONER


Just thought you all should know. Also her new album comes out March 30th.
GET ON THAT SHIT.
thanksforit, pitchfork

IT'S NOT JUST FOR PICKING YOUR TANKINI OUT OF A CATALOG ANYMORE


Look how shockingly decent these Lands' End Canvas items are... I know, right?

Sorry Daddy, I CAN'T GET THE PICTURES BIGGER! I tried :(

I H8 ST. PADDIES


And not just because it steals attention away from my birthday (ahem, March 15th).
I don't like drinking excessive amounts of beer, I don't look good in green, and leprechauns scare the shit out of me.
Although I do miss how Chicago artificially dyes it's river florescent green! Think about how trippy it must be for all the fish swimming around! And by "all the fish" I mean the two mutated fish that live there.

I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU BABY, NOW THAT YOU'RE FLYING HOME


Did you leave your heart here as the song says?
Trish hopes you did.
She wants you to move here and be just like her... a single 35 year old who's spent the last 15 years working customer service while getting wasted on weeknights and spilling out random life advice to anyone who will listen.

REMEMBER THIS STRING ART STUFF?


Where'd it go and can we please make it the official handicraft of 2010?!
