Black Swan.

I’m a big fan of Darren Aronofsky and can hardly wait to see his latest film, Black Swan. Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis star in the thriller that zeros in on a relationship between a veteran ballet dancer and her rival. (You can check out the creeptastic trailer here.) Until then I’m content to ogle these gorgeous limited edition prints. I love how the same design style is used throughout, but the font use successfully varies with each print. Lovely, brave work.

Maurizio Anzeri.

Maurizio Anzeri collects vintage photos, then when the time is right sews directly on them. Over their faces, to be more precise. His delicately embroidered patterns make an act that could be seen as precious or garish completely breathtaking. You can check out the entire exhibit at the Saatchi Gallery, who always hosts the most amazing artists.

Ghost Camera.

Since painting half of house light gray (Valspar’s Secret Passage, love the color hated the coverage!), I’ve been congregating a lot of my white and clear glass pieces on my mantle. This little beauty would be right home perched up there with them.

Dry or Die!

I’m tempted to buy one of these Dry or Die! tea towels for every member of my family. During the holidays after meal clean-up always turn into a battle of who gets to wash and who has to dry. Being the youngest, I inevitably get screwed every time. How rad would it be to oh-so-casually toss these at everyone as I take the reins at the sink? I assure you, very.

I Want Candy.

I want candy, and lots of it. I was lucky enough to grow up in a complex of town houses, which meant mucho sweets come October 31st. Everything was close in proximity and it wasn’t unheard of to have 500+ kids stop by your house come Halloween night. So for me, well, it was all about quantity. It also wasn’t unheard of for there to be lingering Halloween candy come Easter. What kind of trick or treater were you as a kid?

Tre Anita Glass Ring.

I’m in lust with this big, beautiful Tre Anita glass ring. The clear with the silver underlay is my favorite. And for each big, beautiful ring purchased they’ll plant a tree that’s sure to become big and beautiful. (I’m not sure how that’s connected to their product, but still very cool.)
