my birthday is august 3rd

and plans are being made!

Brigitte Bardot and Anna Karina are two of the my favorite style icons. They are both total sex kittens but they are attractive in such a chic composed way. I seriously think I was meant to live in another era.

Anisette.

I had brunch at the new Anisette, a brasserie located right off the promenade in Santa Monica. I loved the decor and feel of it. You can read my yelp reviews as I just started writing them today.

the most amazing commercial.

I keep rewatching this ad over and over again! The styling is incredible and the music, and the composition, and the hair, and the whole vibe! I just love it love it love it!

back in the swing of it all.

I have recently been inspired. After I tolerated a somewhat miserable college experience, I realized there was no way I was returning back. I hate Boston possibly more than any other city I have been to. I no longer want to study writing with rickety old teachers who make a subject I once found interesting barely tolerable. If this were not enough, I can no longer force myself to socialize with a bunch of vapid hipsters whose knowledge of anything hip, other than looking hip, is actually quite limited. Maybe I am being harsh, but I can't help but criticize every detail of a school that forced me to resort to daily doses of anti depressants and weekly therapist appointments. And I really missed the west coast way of life. A point that was intensely reinforced when I discovered that lack of sun results in lack of happiness. Now, I can forget all of this nonsense because I have finally made a decision and its never felt more right in my entire life. I am going to stay in LA, take design classes, and then apply to design school. I do have to give some credit to that one year I barely managed to get through because it made me realize what I am meant to do. Unless I am studying something that is focused around aesthetics and that I can professionally pursue in LA, I will never be happy. Because who was I kidding myself, publishing is a new york thing. Anyways my reason for blogging again (despite the fact no one reads it but me) is because I feel creatively rejuvenated after tweaking my future plans. I also renamed my blog after my beloved grandparents, Henry & Libby, both artists, who I can probably thank for passing along to me their aesthetic sensibility.
