A Rainy Saturday

The roadside flowers, too wet for the bee,

Expend their bloom in vain.

Come over the hills and far with me,

And be my love in the rain.

-Robert Frost

I Am Not A Robot

On my to-do list: learn how to bejewel my lips.

T-Shirt Site of the Week (you lie!): Critter Jitters

So with all the flowers and nature imagery you think that the peeps making these shirts are a bunch of hippies, and then they throw in a shirt depciting a "sexy" gun just for giggles. Okie doke. Way to not follow the status quo I guess...

The Heart Grows Fonder

A couple of cute greeting cards from the etsy shop porterness.

Must. Have. Now.

Decent pictures of the upcoming Rodarte for Target line have proven to be more elusive than bigfoot himself, but what I've seen so far has mede me really excited: a perfect combination of solid and sheer, lace and tulle, belts and tights. Here are a few pics I snagged off of nymag.com:

I'm not sure if I'm quite ready to walk around pants-less, however the two cardigans on the side are awesome. Long cardigans+belts=love.

I must have the dress on the left. I must.

Oh the yearning! The yellow ensemble is wonderful along with the black dress on the right. I really like the idea of black lace tights, I just dont know if i would show off the high waistedness (yep thats a word)

Farmhouse Palette

In my dream world, I would have a house for each season (carbon footprint be damned). This would be my autumn cottage. Nook beds are the best.

I Hope There Are Prints In Heaven

Ok so usually I shy away from the mushy stuff (because, lets face it, romance is gross), but I am just such a sucker for lovely prints that I could not help myself:

Love the wooden frames. Pretty cool no? These babies are by Coulson Macleod. (via designsponge)

Don't Stop Me Now

As some of you may have noticed, my blog has been somewhat dormant for the past couple of days. I decided to be a follower and do what everybody else was doing and get the flu. It's so trendy! Just kidding, the past few days were actually quite miserable with a nasty cough, aches, and a fever (Thats why they call me Mr. Fahrenheiiiiiit- get it? the title of my post? anything? eh forget you) but I finally conquered the beast! Below is a photograph taken in my room yesterday that shows me not taking anymore nonsense:


Ah man I am hilarious.

Cafe and Cabaret

Next month the MFA will be holding an exhibition of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's work titled "Cafe and Cabaret". The museum's website says that the artist "is known for his bold images of performers in the centers of Parisian entertainment in the 1880s and 1890s: the café-concerts and cabaret nightclubs in the bohemian neighborhood of Montmartre." All of the images depict Paris through Toulouse's eyes. A Thanksgiving art museum field-trip anyone?

So Purdy

Why? Whyyyyy must I be broke? I wanna buy all of these and feel purdy and feminine instead of what I usually feel, a brokedown version of a girl. But I mean lets be honest, I dont think I have the cajones to wear butterflies on my head. Maybe someday.

This-a-Way or That-a-Way?

I wish my life was like this.

In order to commemorate this auspicous occasion, Mr. Solomon over at Kitsune Noir made a Wild Things-themes mixcast. Its like a convergance of all my favorite things. I'm pretty happy right now. Happy Weekend!

The Dream Keeper by Langston Hughes
Bring me all of your dreams,
You dreamer,
Bring me all your
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too-rough fingers
Of the world.

Incredible Hulk

I love the internet, it allows me to find stuff like this. Head on over to flickr to see dozens more creations by hulk4589. (now do you get my headline? huh? aint I clever?)
