owly

awwwwwwwww.
i love owls. this is my newest owl-themed obsession:



yes sir!!!! it's my owl usb plug!!
no it's not a usb stick. it doesn't store any data or do anything useful. it just plugs into my mac and bobs its head and blinks its eyes and keeps me company while i procrastinate. mine is white, no name yet.

and check out this amazingly lengthly video i found on youtube:



you don't have to watch it all. i didn't

commercial

i went home to london for a few days to recharge my batteries, walk my dog, hit some golf balls etc.
i don't really like posting about things that you can just find out for yourself....like just turn on the t.v. and watch, but this is different.



it's suuuch a chill tune/montage sequence.
this one's just silly but i looove star wars and star wars um 'culture' so there you go. espec the part with the feet on the swing.



while i'm at it i may as well put this one up too. probly one of my fav commercials ever. i know that if i say it's got sick editing than that's the most obvious statement i could make. but it's true. the battles remix is amazing and i love how it kind of disorients you but still makes you want to watch it like 500 more times. right?

mmm hmmmm

Every summer I fall in love with white shoes. (see Jeffrey Campbell white 'tick' shoes a few posts down). But now I've got my eye on these baby pink Louise Goldin studded court pumps. The conflicting colour/extreme studded combo just works for me so much.
But the white ones are beautiful too. x

Hard to Explain

I always knew Julian Casablancas (of the Strokes) was a little bit of a prick, but I always let it slide cos of those mysterious eyes and swagger. Oh yes. I fully admit I was crushing on Julian big time back in the day. Imagine the level of my heartbroken disappointment when I stumbled across this interview for his solo stuff. Could it be true??? Has my crush been crushed?
Not only is he totally boring and washed up, he decides for some reason to do the whole interview with sunglasses on?! And it's not even outdoors. If you really want to be disappointed then skip ahead to around 5:56. Just listen to him for yourself. I don't want to spoil it.



Yeh, the song's not great either. Or the video.



Do you reckon the Strokes hate each other but just tour for the money like the Pixies? I hope not, though there's no way of thinking otherwise really.
I guess I can't be too surprised. Julian's track record hasn't been great recently. Do you remember this weird collaboration? No? Didn't think so.



I think that's enough of a rant. But I make my point. I miss the old Julian.

i'm thinking of turning this into a shoe blog....

not even kidding. it's like every other post is shoes.

now these are some special ones...

Acne Platform Pumps, BEAUT, with a leather sole. They've done a few different versions, all with these variations on the nail-inspired heels. but these are my fav no contest. I like the dark gray. £530, but really look at wat you're getting for it.

it's so chilly in my bed, it's starting to turn into summer but the nights are always so shockingly cold still. i want to get TAN dammit.

Yes more shoes for your eyes.

These could be the best shoes EVER made.





It's the 'Tick' shoe by Jeffrey Campbell (Good ol JC does it again.) And yes I did find it necessary to put up four pictures of the same shoe. $165, 4" heel with a 1" platform is totally walkable as well. I imagine these beauties would be pretty comfy, genuinely. Not that it matters. I'd wear these forever even if they hurt like a muthafucka.

There's also black and tiger versions of the shoe but in this instance white is BOSS.
