Between Space and Time

7/20/12

So its been a couple of years since I've made an appearance on this here blog. I don't know why I stopped blogging, I suppose it was something I felt I didn't want to do anymore. But here I am again. Here I go!
Wanted to share a recent solo trip I took to Wisconsin. I stayed at Wellspring Organic Farm and Retreat Center. I didn't get many photos of the hostel itself, but I had a lovely, relaxing time, surrounded by the perfect fortune of nature at peace with itself. Here are my favorite pictures/moments I took.

My view of the road- still the best feeling ever, The Open Road.

My favorite wildflower.

Harrington Beach State Park- a quiet mile long stretch of beach on Lake Michigan. If you walk far enough down the coast you'll time travel, which was very exciting for me!

Jimmy the Popcorn Man in Cedarburg, WI. There was a painting of him at the local cultural arts center.

Wayne's Diner- a step back in time and a taste of Midwest Americana.

Rockabilly

There is something so fabulous about Rockabilly lifestyling. I love that the true die hard rockabillies really cultivate their entire physical existence to belong to another era entirely. And such a wonderfully kitsch era at that! Jennifer Greenburg has put out a book with wonderful portraits called, surprise surprise, The Rockabillies. Love!

This woman is AMAZING.

My new favorite blog

People of Walmart is effing hilarious. And also sad. But mostly hilarious. I chose some of my favorite images that if you squint your eyes really hard, could totally be used as fashion inspiration. In the sense of Litte Edie's strangeness, and how fascinating she is as a result. Character based fashion design is so amazing, because a strange muse is endlessly inspiring because their curiosities know no bounds.

You know this lady has a story. And a fabulous house full of weird things.

This guy is straight off the runway.

This look could be, um, tweaked, but it certainly coincides with the lovely rainbow hair trend.

THIS IS ART.

This one is my favorite. I think its because there is definitely some kind of pioneer

spirit involved. And something almost John Charles de Castelbajac.

I love how everywhere you turn there is potential inspiration. You just have to use your imagination! One person seen once in passing can spawn a 52 outfit collection. It's all about connecting the dots.

Away to Jordan

Jerash ruins, still being excavated. Greco-Roman ruins 2000 years old!

The city of Jerash juxtaposed with the ancient columns.

The amphitheater

Best bagpipes I ever heard!

Printemps Fantastical Holiday Windows

It's always such a pleasure to visit Paris department stores during the holidays because they do rather elaborate and luxurious window decor. Here are pictures from this year's Printemps windows. Enjoy!

AaaammmmmmaZING crystal-y fish bones (sorry blurry photo)

LOOK AT THIS COAT!! It is an incredible embellishment feat!

Nothin says luxe like peacocks!

This phenomenal head piece is made of hair. Love ornamentation made of hair!!

Ultimate New Year's outift OR WHAT

Who doesn't need a turquoise ostrich feather coat?

Around the World in 17 days!

First day in Paris:

I arrive to find my bedroom converted into a very pretty guest room

(wish it looked this good when I lived there!).

Two vintage Moroccan wedding blankets make the bed sparkle with real metal sequins galore!

A cute vintage pink typewriter and a head in a jar create great visual contrast and interest.

The paper in the typewriter reads:

Nostalgia
remember when?

Homage to my mother the wonderful and obsessive decorator, Tara Holmes of Paris Parfait.
