Need Supply Co Spring 2012

i am really a bit of a kinship to these stills from Need Supply Co's Wes Anderson inspired Spring 2012 video. Directed by Duy Nguyen at The University of Richmond, these stills give off a Royal tenenbaums meets Rushmore meets Moonrise Kingdom vibe. If a Wes Anderson University existed, this is exactly what it would look like - classic IVY brick buildings and a uniquely wes 60s fashion vibe. Both videos can be found below.

vergennnes laundry, VT

last week, carol and i went to vergennes laundry, a stunning little cafe in vergennes, vt to get a little work done. it was a much needed little getaway from middlebury. vergennes laundry used to be an old laundromat on mainstreet in vergennes. this modern yet rustic cafe has a beautiful clean and modern design - white walls, white ash wood tables, and grey industrial cement floors. in addition to the usual hot drinks offered at cafes, vergennes laundry had an incredible breakfast plate with yogurt, gateau au blé noir, and berries, which was as delicious as it was pretty. aesthetically perfect and delicious in every way, vergennes laundry is definitely on my list of favorite cafes. unfortunately i did not have my camera with me, but i snapped this with my iphone. if only all breakfasts were this lovely.

museum insel

last night i was able to catch up with my friend diana. she came over for dinner and we hung out on the deck and just did a lot of catching up. i have been testing out my camera as well and running around taking care of lots of unfunny things like going to the dentist. i also just realized that i never shared these photos with you, which is perfect, since i am still playing with my new camera and do not have any new photos to share with you all yet. this is an outfit i wore the day wingyi and i visited the german history museum and flew to vienna. i am wearing a blazer from zara, blouse from zara, shorts from a vintage store from paris, h&m tights, h&m shoes, a beret from uo, and a tote bag from one teaspoon. the weather was still quite chilly which is why i am so heavily dressed! i think this is a great updated schoolgirly outfit due to the blazer and the beret, which really just makes this the perfect outfit to wear to a trip to the museum!

the small purple sticker is the sticker from the museum. 

i liked it so it is still sitting on my blazer.

a side shot where you can see the design on the tote quite well

hope you enjoyed!

fun for adults

how great would it be to have this in your flat? i love the juxtaposition of this childish pastime in such a modern professional looking flat. in fact, wouldn't it be even greater if this were the office you worked in? anytime you encountered horrible bouts of writer's block or just needed to step away from whatever project you were working on for fear of going crazy, you could just take a bit of a break and just relax and have some fun. i personally think work productivity would increase dramatically if every office building had an adult play room full of slides, things to climb through, and a ball pit, as well as a nap room.

in any case, i am heading to VIENNA tomorrow! one of my closest friends from the states arrived yesterday, and during part of her stay, we decided to visit another country in europe since this is her first time here. so the next time you hear from me, i will be in austria!
