only a woman
ordinary life does not interest me. i seek only the high moments. i am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous. i want to be a writer who reminds others that these moments exist; i want to prove that there is infinite space, infinite meaning, infinite dimension.
for indeed my life is a perpetual question mark - my thirst for books, my observations of people, all tend to satisfy a great, overwhelming desire to know, to understand, to find an answer to a million questions. and gradually the answers are revealed, many things are explained, and above all, many things are given names and described, and my restlessness is subdued. then i become an exclamatory person, clapping my hands to the immense surprises the world holds for me, and falling from one ecstasy into another. i have the habit of peeping and prying and listening and seeking - passionate curiosity and expectation. but i have also the habit of being surprised, the habit of being filled with wonder and satisfaction each time i stumble on some wondrous thing. the first habit could make me a philosopher or a cynic or perhaps a humorist. but the other habit destroys all the delicate foundations, and i find each day that i am still...
only a woman.

it's been a week since my birthday and anais nin's writings have been stirring in my soul.
grey & gray
i have a very keen fascination with all things hot air balloon and so when i saw this sweater i immediately was inspired to create an outfit around it.
kate's i-d
celebrating 20 years in the industry, kate moss graces four covers of i-d magazine's pre-spring 2013 publication. the alphabetical issue features the british beauty in the best of spring and summer collections. simply incredible that this infamous face has remained so relentlessly relevant and fresh in a world where everything is so fleeting.

always read something
always read something that will make you look good
if you die in the middle of reading it.
if you die in the middle of reading it.
- p.j. o'rourke
when my friend and fellow photographer edward scott called me to say, "i think i found your paradise. we need to shoot here!" he wasn't kidding. this side of counterpoint books holds an impressive selection of vintage and hard-to-come-by books that would leave any dutiful collector in sheer paradise. i was very much inspired by the antiquity of the shop and so wanted to properly dress the part.

***a special thank you to counterpoint for giving us the pleasure to shoot here.
birthday girl
last night was the start of my celebration sensation - my actual birthday being today. it was absolutely lovely having dinner at the little door and then celebrating with friends and champagne at the bar.
here are a couple of snapshots taken throughout the night... i've got some professional pictures on the way so stay tuned!
