STYLITICS: 5 Questions with Kate Voegele →
check out this fun feature from my friends at @Stylitics!
5 QUESTIONS WITH KATE VOEGELE
Do you ever wake up in the morning, look in your closet, and feel like you have nothing to wear? Me too. So today I sat down with singer-songwriter, “One Tree Hill” alum, and fierce fashionista (yes, I just used the word “fierce” non-ironically) Kate Voegele to get the low-down on her amazing personal...
BEHIND THE MUSIC
..quite literally. check out these amazing shots of the inner workings of a violin, cello, flute, and pipe organ. at first glance i thought these were photos of empty whimsical rooms in a house…
i just think these images are so beautiful. The art direction was done by photographer Bjoern Ewers and the shots are part of a print campaign for the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra.

TANGERINE QUEEN
i’m falling hard for Pantone’s Tangerine Tango. Having been recently deemed the official “color of the year,” this bolder than bold bright orange seems to be taking over runways, hallways, high heels, hairstyles, handbags and everything else under the sun. I’ve been a big supporter of blindingly bright red-orange for some time now (i painted my walls this color in my...
A WEEKEND WELL SPENT
i think if it were up to me, this is what I would do with the next few days.
Pink foam and all. From Tim Walker’s Kate Moss shoot at the Ritz Carlton Paris for Vogue. Le sigh. HAPPY WEEKEND!

SAVE YOUR OLD CDS
..and do what this guy did.
artist Sean Avery makes some pretty amazing sculptures out of his old CDs. as a musician, i must say that i’d be more than ok with my album getting chopped up if it meant this guy glued my pieces into a hummingbird. happy saturday!

THE BRAID BRIGADE
fashion week was full of some pretty awesome variations. i absolutely love braids. i suck at braiding my own hair but having someone else braid your hair has to be one of the best things ever. this entire spread comes to you courtesy of because i’m addicted:
How sick are these braid renditions from fashion week? 1. Spiraling French braid at Nonoo 2. Loose side braids at Ainsley 3....

Oakley stage at Downstairs on Main Street

one day of major crazy snowfall. LOVE.
the view from my coveted seat in the coffee shop.
polka dot socks by the fire
watching Skylar Grey rock it Sunday night after my set at the Oakley Learn to Ride after party!
SO MUCH FUN. already excited for...

LUNAR LOVE
does anyone else feel like the moon is kinda having a moment lately? and no, i’m not talking about twilight. i am absolutely loving Russian artist Leonid Tishkov’s “private moon” project below. it’s actually a series of photos paired with prose. it tells a story, and you can read the poetry with the photos here. i saw these on SNAP! magazine and just thought they were...
BEST DRESS OF THE WEEK
..award goes to shakira. brought to you by @JustJared. (full article here)

MARBLED MANHATTAN
literally. this is incredible. it’s ‘manhattan from the sky’ carved entirely out of marble. Japanese artist and architect Yutaka Sone must’ve spent a lot of time on google earth.
found this gem on topshop’s inside out blog. it really is quite appropriate for the snowy season to see the city represented like this. i have so much respect for artists with this...
SUPER BASS SUITCASE
a travel-obsessed music lover’s dream: these stereos are made out of vintage suitcases. BoomCase works with your iPod, iPhone, or any device with a headphone plug. how awesome would one of these be next to my record player in my fake fireplace that you can’t have a real fire in?
thanks poppytalk for the tip off on this rad company. i foresee these popping up in urban...
TOTES COOL
a slightly predictable title for a post about cool tote bags. but it’s the best i got today. and these really are rad. and they’re from Ibiza.
thanks, lost at e minor for the heads up on these. if you haven’t clicked around lost at e minor yet, you probably still have a life. i, however, get stuck on there for hours because there’s tons of cool art and neat...
HAPPY 2012!
WOW. well it’s finally here. i’ve got a good feeling about 2012. after falling off the planet for about a week, i am recharged and ready to go. above cool photo via ruffled. hope everyone had an awesome holiday and new years!

NOW THAT'S RECYCLING
absolutely genius. now i want to go dig up all those floppy disks i used to save my book reports on in 5th grade and make a big freakin art project out of them. at least that’s what UK-based artist Nick Gentry does:
so cool. time for some oh-so-relaxing holiday travel. WOOHOO!

YOUR TREE WILL THANK YOU
..or your friend, or your hostess, or whoever is lucky enough to be the recipient of these adorable tree ornaments/wine bottle decorations/overall adorable stoneware holiday banners by Rae Dunn.
absolutely love them and want every single one. in fact, how cool would a huge Christmas tree adorned entirely with just these stoneware ornaments in every color be?
HAPPY HANUKKAH to everyone...
STAIRWAY TO SATURDAY

NOTEBOOK MASTERPIECES
that’s pretty much what these are. Germany-based artist Silke Werzinger’s drawings kick my doodle-filled high school math notebook’s ass. LOVE these.
i’m officially inspired. time to grab a ballpoint pen and go crazy.

I MADE IT OUT OF SOLO CUPS
..and other stuff from the gas station. i had so much fun bedazzling these ski goggles for YRB magazine! i had to do it on tour hence the materials from the gas station :) the magazine is on newsstands this month so pick one up if you see it! it looks like this:

SWEET DREAMS
…literally. sleeping in one of these would be rad until a bear came along and mistook your tent for a giant piece of food. these Field Candy tent designs are awesome, but if you get eaten while camping in one of these, you were kind of asking for it.

hope everyone’s week is off to a great start! i’m on vacation (though not spending this one in a club sandwich...
I WANNA HAVE A PARTY IN HERE
