Kayak

By Sarah | July 2, 2009



So ready to get this holiday weekend started!  I’m headed out to the lake tomorrow and hoping to steal some time in my sister’s new kayak.  The idea of an afternoon in the water paddling around in a pink kayak sounds like perfection.  But if I really wanted to be fun….check out these designs over at Core77 for the Wave Sport Kayak.  Looks like they held a design competition for some new boat  graphics.  The winner, while cool, isn’t my favorite.  I’d have gone with something decidedly more intricate with some crazy line work, like these….

Reminds me of seeing Jackson Pollock’s marks as he paints through glass.

Julia Solis

By Sarah | June 25, 2009



A friend sent me a link over To Julia Solis’ site Abandoned Theaters with a slide show of her work.  Her images are so beautiful and sad and lovely and ominous…..just so much juxtaposed in one image.

Necklace love

By Sarah | June 18, 2009



I changed clothes 10 times this morning and made myself late to a meeting, but I just had to wear this necklace.

$6.80 from F21

The web image doesn’t do it justice.  While I wish I had found it tucked away in some antique shop…for only 7 bucks at Forever 21, how could I resist?  I want big vintage flowers draped around my neck and falling off my ears all summer long.  I think my grandmother would approve.

the Missions

By Sarah | June 9, 2009



I spent the last few days in San Antonio with a stop over in Gruene to do some kayaking on the Gualdalupe river.  It was the perfect weekend.  Nothing like sitting along the river with some good salsa and chardonnay at the Gristmill.  Being a good Texan, I made my visit to the Alamo.  The day seemed more poignant since I was there on June 6th, the 65th Anniversary of D-Day.  After listening to Obama speak in the morning, I was more aware of all the service men and women around in uniform.  I felt so very grateful.

R and I even went and visited some of the other missions outside of downtown.  This was a first for me.  The two we went to were established in the early 17oo’s.  What wonderfully preserved history…..dsc03743

Away We Go

By Sarah | June 3, 2009



I saw an advanced screening of Away We Go last night at the Angelika.  It was exciting to see John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph in leading roles.  I really enjoyed the film and felt like it was geared directly at my demographic of late twenties/early thirties wanna-be hipsters.  The entire cast was such a treat.  Some of the roles were definitely caricatured but Maggie Gyllenhaal can do no wrong in my book.  Overall it was sweet and funny without trying to answer too many questions.  What I got super excited about was the movie poster.  While it feels very Juno-esque, after seeing the film, I think its the perfect image.
