DARK AFTERNOON

It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll say when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long

- "Train Song" by Feist + Ben Gibbard

GI-LOT, PI-CA-SSO

Françoise Gilot and Pablo Picasso in Villauris, France
photographed by Gjon Mili for LIFE Magazine, 1949

"As we turned to go, Picasso said, 'If you want to come back again, by all means come. But if you do come, don't come like pilgrims to Mecca. Come because you like me, because you find my company interesting, and because you want to have a simple, direct relationship with me. If you only want to see my paintings, you'd better go to a museum.'" - Life With Picasso, by Françoise Gilot

LOOK

I love this look. From the glamourai.

SPECIMEN

I love these necklaces, designed by Carrie Yee of Specimen Jewelry (I'm the proud owner of the bottom one!). A perfect blend of organic, glam, and tough. Check out her Etsy shop and website.

YES

The best moment of the Oscars last night. "YES!"

STUDIO

I love the section on ArtInfo's website called "In the Studio". Artists work so differently and seeing their studios always provides an interesting perspective on the finished product.

STEICHEN

This weekend I went to see the Edward Steichen exhibition at the International Center of Photography. It's a collection of the celebrity portraiture and fashion photography done by Steichen for Condé Nast, mainly Vogue and Vanity Fair. Beautiful, very modern and definitely worth a visit.
