photography

i've recently fell in love with the art of photography, probably because of my dad, but it's also because of a couple of photographers that i adore. so after a long day of studying, i came home and sat down at my computer to watch a video on garance dore's site and now i feel so much better. rested and full of energy and most importantly, happy (with this california rain, it makes me sad). so i want to share it with you! it's more or less a fashion/ photography video, but i just love it, along with the song that accompanies it, it just makes the video that much better. so the video is so perfect for a day like today (at least in california) it's raining here, it's raining in the video, how perfect!

snail mail

so i've been loving snail mail these days. in the past week, i got a wedding invitation and some mail from a friend. it was so exciting to see a colored envelope sitting in the mail box. and the excitement of ripping open the envelope has to be one of the most exciting things to do. so i just wanted to share with you the two pieces of mail i got over the past week. but i really want to mention my friend victoria's card that she sent me because she is starting up a paper goods company, so please check her out at {paper & type} she is so amazingly talented and she makes the cutest cards!


as for my earth day, it wasn't as quite as eventful as i had wished it was going to be. due to the gloomy weather, i wasn't able to head over to any of the earth day celebrations that were happening in LA. i instead took my klean kanteen and my lunch pail and ate lunch, then headed over to target and came out with my recently bought goods in my purse instead of a plastic bag. but sadly, this is everyday practice for me, since i try to live a very eco-friendly life style.

i decided to start taking more pictures of my life and try to post them up. it's becoming such a fun hobby for me to take up.
