Maya Rudolph has a Prince cover band.

 And it's called Princess.

This is the most marvelous thing the internet has shown me in maybe my life.

Feist is my spirit animal

Everyone go here right now and watch Feist in all her glory. Everything about this video is stunning and I would love to be able to sit down with her and her band before a show and listen to them brainstorm how to create the perfect atmospheres they perform in. It's stunning and inspiring and just gorgeous in every way.

Revelation Blues


Paula Greif Ceramics

I'm always looking for new, up and coming potters who change the way I think about and look at pots and frankly, there is no lack of them. I feel like nearly every day I find a new name and a new form that I would have never thought of before but sends me straight to my studio sketchbook to lay out a new design of my own for a glaze or a pattern or a form. I found Paula Greif thanks to the ceramic lovers at Design Sponge. Her work is fantastic and totally her own. I love how organic all her shapes are and how her glazes and decoration totally compliment that fluidity and evidence of the hand.
You can get lost in pages of images of her work here.
She also talks about her art practice a bit in this article about her home and describes how she set out on a mission to make everything in her kitchen. I'm so down with that idea I think I'll be heading into the studio this week to start making a set of nesting mixing bowls.

 I can't get over these pedestal bowls.
The almost child-like tilt and gesture of these jugs is fantastic.

Summer's a bummer when you love your jean jacket

I try to organize all the photos I am constantly taking off the internet into folders. I have about 10 folders including ones for band photos, pictures of dogs doing human things, and beautiful home interiors.
Anyways, I was going through my "fashions" folder today just for funs and I realized 99% of the pictures are of girls bundled up in big jackets and scarves with wool socks and breath taking boots. Needless to say looking at all these great fall looks got me jonesin to layer up and brave the elements. Bring on the next season please!

Isabelle Bertonlini


Today Miss Moss (pretty much my favorite blog on the internet) posted about French photographer Isabelle Bertonlini's beautiful photos of food. A little fact about me is that I fuckin LOVE pictures of food, so it's not surprising that I spent a solid hour going through her Flickr and drooling not only over the gorgeous food photos but her entire flickr itself.

Above are a few of my favorite photos. Don't you wish you had her magnificent collection of plates?
