I have lots of lovelies to share today so let’s get right to it, starting with photos!
One of the great things about Joel’s grad school program is that it’s so bloody interesting (to me)! I steal his textbooks and tag along on homework assignments and sometimes try to make my own versions. This semester he’s taking a course on Post Photography and last night he introduced me to Louise Dahl-Wolfe.
I’m not sure how I have managed not to hear about her before now. She photographed so many of the famous faces of her time and has influenced fashion photography since forever. Columbia College Chicago has a permanent collection of her photos that I’m hoping to see this summer.
I quite like this photo of Coralie Bickford-Smith surround by the gorgeous work she did for Penguin. You can read an article about her inspiration for the beautiful bindings over here.
Kara Haupt made this beautiful 8mm film for a class and I want her to make dozens more! (More info on her blog.)
A lovely song, Water – Johnny Flynn & Laura Marling
I hit the happy mail day jack pot on Monday! One package held my sister’s birthday present from a lovely, little shop came. Chelsea was the sweetest and look what a cute box it came in!
sisters!
I wish I could show you the inside of the box, but Courtney might see, so I’ll have to wait. (Psst! If you’re my pal on flickr you can sneak peak it over here.)
And my new and incredibly beautiful White Owl earrings were waiting for me too! I love them so!
What are you loving these days?

Those earrings are gorgeous! Thanks for including my film in this post. I’m definitely going to make more. :) I had one that I shot, but haven’t decided how to edit yet. And did you notice the Emma book you gave me in there? I thought it deserved a camera. I’m about halfway through the book and I love! Need to finish. Hopefully during Spring break. :)
I totally noticed! I’m re-reading it right now. I’m glad you’re liking it!!
