Oh Cheer, New Year!

I'm no die-hard when it comes to setting resolutions and goals, but this New Year I dedicate to:

Polka Dots inspired by Yayoi Kusama

The artist herself in some fine polkawear

Polka dot house featured in a 1951 Life Magazine

(oh to live here!)

Jillian Dress by the always spectacular Kate Spade

dress by Whit

AND

Vintage Hairstylin' galore

modern-vintage low bun, yum.

Marion Cotillard in a 2010 Vogue

To 2011, and everything there after.

Summer Fog in the Andes

On rainy days like today, I pine for summer bus rides through South American cloud forests.

Drinking soda from bags and chowing down on pan de yuca.

Listening to tunes of the like:

I've found myself attached to this railroad track, but I'll come back to you someday.

Hello long-lost friend. Holiday trips home, gift makings, and a overly utilized library card have been keeping this tucked neatly and quietly in cyberland for months. Now reposting begins and it only seems appropriate to share what I have lately been devouring courtesy of oversized art book selection at the Portland Library. Text as or in art has some unexplainable ability to make my heart melt.
