Curiosity illuminates the correct path to anything in life. If you’re not curious, that’s when your brain is starting to die. And discovering, I think, that’s what separates us from the rest of the other species.
It’s that we discover and pioneer, we don’t forget from whence we came.
Pharrell Williams

Brb, moving to Sweden.
Favourite scene is Pär’s family’s dinner and everyone gets
a cool party hat and lobster bib. Genius.

"The plant never lapses into mere arid functionalism; it fashions and shapes according to
logic and suitability, and with its primeval force compels everything
to attain the highest artistic form."

Karl Blossfeldt

So quick bright things come to confusion.
Lysander

I do not have any ability to resolve such questions,
I have a Euclidean mind, an earthly mind,
and therefore it is not for us to resolve
things that are not of this world.

The spiked and winding cold seahorn. Have you the? Each and
For other plash and silent roar.

Prefuse!

Went a bit off my head in Fabricado off Chapel St. There are student discounts so I couldn't help myself really.

Who the shit is gonjasufi? I don't know and can't be bothered finding out, but its sick.

Alexander Wang, bada-bing!

Juergen Teller's book Zimmermann (documenting Raquel Zimmermann in southern Germany) prompted me to go exploring through the back catalogue of his work... all with a very irreverent and unmanufactured tone. The dirct, open style is seen in his first portraits from around 1986 of Elton John and Kurt Cobain and his recent ad campaigns for Yves St. Laurent, Comme Des Garçons, Marc Jacobs, Helmut Lang and others.

Hello, I love you.

Quite pleased with my new featherssssss

We were born to be alone, everybody all alone, born alone to be alone, we'll stand alone forever, standing on the world alone, learning how to stand alone, and always to be alone, we'll be alone forever

Best.

I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it, that explains the trouble that I'm always in.

Love the sheer panelling and wrap blouses tucked into cigarette taper trousers. Preppy style of high waited skirts and pant suits, while ruched and balloon sleeves add volume.
Blend of lingerie inspired cuts with youthful, naive prints has a quaint and poetic effect, favourite for S/S

Gaslaaamp, roxanne last friday, yeah!

'TERRYWORLD 25TH ANIVERSRY OF TASCHEN' just arrived and I have fallen back in love. Don't care if it's perverse, it's genius.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars." -Jack Kerouac
