I love this whimsical packaging by Hasan & Partners for the Finnish bread products/bakery (?) Fazer Vilpuri. Vilpuri’s website is pretty freakin’ awesome too, but I have no idea what’s going on.

I stumbled upon photographer Gabriel Adda’s work in the most recent issue of AKA, it’s a free online Uruguayan arts magazine that I have no business reading since my spanish is rudimentary at best. But I do know GBM has at least one regular South American reader and maybe he will appreciate this mag more than any of us monolinguists can. Regardless, there are still plenty of pretty pictures in AKA that need no words at all. Example: Mr. Adda’s amazing editorial of the modern day shipping harbor. You can read into all the metaphors of consumerism and globalization that come with this subject matter or, as I do, just appreciate the elegant compositions of the mundane. Check out the rest of the feature from AKA after the jump: Continue reading…

This had me laughing so hard yesterday at work. There were even some tears involved. My boss sent it to me in an email with the title “this is how I feel today.” (It was a crazy day). If your boss isn’t as cool as mine, I wouldn’t recommend watching this at your desk… but watch it when you get the chance because there’s nothing like a good mid-week laugh.

You GUYS. Look at my little chunky monkey!!! This is my nephew and he was born yesterday morning. Nine pounds, one ounce. 21 inches long. I haven’t even met him yet but I love him sooooo much! Those CHEEKS, people!
My sister and her husband are so thrilled to finally welcome their miracle baby into the world. Heather was diagnosed with PCOS almost 10 years ago and she was told by several doctors that she probably wouldn’t be able to conceive. But Jonah is here and he’s healthy and he’s beautiful!
I’m going out to Denver next week to spend some time with them. Can’t wait to hold that precious little guy!

P.S. Speaking of babies, I am dying over these Naptime Adventures. So cute!!!
The combination might sound a little odd, but the result is surprisingly yummy! It’s creamy yet refreshing, slightly earthy and not too sweet. The color is lovely. Plus it’s kinda healthy! Avocados have omega-3s, so you can justify the indulgence (sort of).
It started with a chunk of wood in my Christmas stocking with the text, “money for new shelves” from my parents. Actually, it all started a few months prior when Morgan over at the Brick House sent ripples across the shelter blog world with her Mission C.A.H.L.R.S.P. So with funding from the fam we set out.
Jess and I just got back from seeing Inception. It. Was. Awesome! Director Christopher Nolan is on a real tear. Let’s hope the studios just keep giving him money and staying out of his way. Besides the amazing story (which he usually writes) Nolan’s films always have a rich and integral soundtrack that enhances the suspense. Check out the video above for a sampling of the film and some behind-the-scenes commentary about the music and sounds in the film.

I’ve been on a quest to find an airy summer shoe that’s a little more dressed up than the trusty ol’ Rainbows (no, not Double Rainbows) and ever since I saw these, I knew I must have a pair. Sadly, the Ace Hotel x Arktip x Generic Surplus colabs only go up to a size 12 so no dice for me. Luckily, Generic Surplus knew they had an awesome thing going and they expanded the mesh design to other parts of their line – which includes the pimosol in a size 13. Wooooo. So I snagged a pair over on Moxsie earlier this week and oooo-weeee these babies are exactly what I need to stay cool this summer.
