mind blown.

in my stereotypically middle-class, white-washed, angst-y existence as a suburban so-cal teenager, there were a handful of things that fueled my will to survive by promising life beyond a track home. one of them was sassy magazine. it's the reason i do what i do today. i STILL have all my issues (thanks mom, for never making me throw anything out!) and my absolute most favorite one featured kurt and courtney on the cover. well, come to find out today, that iconic photo so dear to my adolescent heart, was taken by michael lavine. so what, you say? michael lavine is MY BOSS'S HUSBAND!!!! it's as though my pop culture existence just came full circle right here at my desk. kapow (that's the sound of my mind being blown).

i ain't gonna lie...

i TOTALLY want to rock this look.
big boots, big sweater, BIG hair? big love.
catherine deneuve, lookin' good. adding the woman with red boots to netflix queue noooow.

zooey fo' sho'-y

i'm pretty sure the magazine i work at is the only one on earth that zooey hasn't graced the cover of (complex?? reeeeaaaallly?), and that kills me a little bit. but i've still got mad love for the adorable quirketeer.
this month she fronts domino and her music room is just as cute as she is. i hope she doesn't have to let it go when her and ben shack up.more pics and the lowdown on her study-cum-studio here.
(does she look totally domino-fied here or what?! STILL effing cute.)

sock it to me.

i'm loving these photos by ye rin mok for hansel from basel's s/s09 lookbook.
makes me want to play in colorful socks!

i know what you did last night:

fully immersing myself in pop vampire culture (as if reading the twilight and sookie stackhouse series simultaneously wasn't obsessive enough), i got out to the angelika yesterday for let the right one in.

go. you won't be sorry. it's got it all: love, blood, swedes, beautiful landscapes. eli + oskar forever.

true dat.
