beautiful discovery and ownership of sound

"It's a lot more interesting to explore a medium that I don't have direct access to and yet has the most direct connection to society at large," says the artist. "Social norms surrounding sound are so deeply ingrained that, in a sense, our identities cannot be complete without it."

Chambers street violinist

2011-04-30T09:28:00.000-07:00

I have mentioned him before (here)

i apologize for the high-notes, my phone isn't that great

It reminded me of the wash post story years ago

although my violinist is no Joshua Bell

Do you lack? (shelf that is)

2011-04-29T15:36:00.000-07:00

over on french by design there was a post about creative ways to use ikea lack shelves. Considering I just finished putting up my shelves, I thought I would share.

i am slow

2011-04-13T21:50:00.000-07:00

i know this has already made the rounds, but it is a beautiful rendition of Bach's Cantata

also, there was a street performer playing the violin at the chambers street jmz stop tonight- someone should organize chamber music at chambers street

the sound is amazing

Paper Crowns & Large Utensils

2010-08-07T10:42:00.000-07:00

In honor of the summer, we had a dinner party on a bridge over the Bayou St. John

I made fabric flag/banners and plum, almond, blackberry tarts! (recipe soon, i promise)

Of course we had to eat with over-sized utensils and wear paper hats....

lets make a fort!

2010-07-30T16:11:00.000-07:00

a few weeks ago, a friend shared her desire to grab a few bottles of wine, make a fort in her living room and escape for awhile...and of course I have been wanting to do that all week long!

Wouldn't it be wonderful to live here

on Tchoupitoulas St. (outside the PRC- 923 Tchoupitoulas), New Orleans, LA

i may have to blame bloggers

2010-07-02T14:48:00.000-07:00

well, not completely -- but posts on Cup of Jo ( this one and this one) and Apartment Therapy have all caught the summer picnic bug....

I understand why summer makes people think of picnics, however- here in New Orleans- it always seems to rain right at prime picnic time!

Wouldn't it be so lovely for a picnic..

So, when One kings lane (message me for an invite) had this.....

i had to get it!

So excited, even if it has to be indoor picnics.

Happy Fourth!

Although New Orleans is a little too rainy to fully channel the desert, the last few days have had me thinking (wishing?) of Santa Fe, Burning Man, and Jim Morrison fueled nightmares (in a good way). Tribal has been in all spring and summer, but bringing a good mix of Navajo designs, "runway tribal", and maybe a leather accessory (or two) will make you feel like you aren't dripping in a swamp.

wish list
1. Osbon/Shoes- Black Candela Jazzie ( $98.00)

2. Jason Christopher Photography

3. Topshop Necklace ($210) & Bangles- Diane Von Furstenberg ($40-$60)

4. New York Magazine Street Lookbook

5. French Connection knit Dress ($170)

6. Mosley Tribes Sunglasses hand-beaded by Jenny Dayco ($695) -amazing- , Shoes-Mosley Tribe Lookbook

~
Now, if the items above are too expensive for you (me!)- here are some less expensive replacements

1. Zalo High Leather Boots Etsy ($96)

2. Zoe & Zac for Payless Agave Ring Sandles ($9)

3. Need Supply Co. Dotted Pattern Tank Dress($42)

4. Vintage Jewelry at eCrater ($25)

5. Urban Outfitters shirt ($28)

As for my insatiable love for the beaded Mosley Sunglasses--I'm thinking I could buy this pair and glue an old friendship bracelet on the sides.

Another DIY idea is to screenprint some zig-zags on a dress, - and spray paint the design on these adorable forever 21 yellow boat shoes

Fashion sidenote-

DO NOT OVER DO THIS LOOK. You will look like a hipster-halloween party. And you can't pull this off-- Andre Benjamin barely did.

If you do want to overdo it-- email Jen and ask if you can make this into a shirt

to wear at the same time.

sno-balls

2010-06-28T15:40:00.000-07:00

So after-work, or after a bike ride, or before spending long amounts of time outside during a New Orleans summer-- I like to get a sno-ball. You may think you have had a sno-ball (I'm talking to you, my dear-east-coast-friends), but you have probably had a sno-cone.

A sno-ball is made with shaved ice...not crushed

( image from Kathy Price, I believe)

and comes with gummy bears, or condensed milk, or soft serve, or just by its glorious self.

The other day, I stopped at Snoballs on Piety,

before going swimming at the Country Club (that fun is a whole other post).

and I thought I would share the delicious sno-balls, wonderful Airstream trailer, and snoball-color-matching-graffiti with you ~

don't ask me why

2010-06-28T15:16:00.000-07:00

yes please

hung from the ceiling as room dividers

and furniture like this and

and my room would be right behind the sign

sewing project

2010-06-23T15:34:00.000-07:00

I am preparing a outfit (maybe two if I get my act together) for a Worn Again competition- where you are given a bag of clothes-- the dregs of the thrift stores-- and use the fabric (and zippers, and thread!) to make a new, fashionable outfit.

So, I have been clipping away at websites for the last few weeks planning my outfit, as I carefully took apart horrible multi-print shirts. Here are some of the things that are inspiring me as I begin to sew...

from cut out & keep

from i love wildfox

so i am thinking a layered victorian-esque/ steampunky mini dress with a lace bustle made like the great red dress above. what do you think?

maybe some southern gothic inspired screenprinted fabric?

i apologize for all un-linked images, i have been evernote-ing them without thinking

Isn't this beautiful?

This video is a perfect afternoon. Angus and Julia Stone are most definitely on the "things i like list".

Perhaps I meant, "perfect for an afternoon"-- but this song can be played again and again, so perhaps not
