crystalize.

These quartz crystal necklaces range from $240 - $450.


 Although I would love to own one of these, I forgot to write one in on this months budget. So I made my own.
I bought a small piece of quartz from the local jewelry store for a whole dollar and already had some metal wire around the house. I just wrapped the wire firmly around the quartz, twisted some things around, threw it on an old chain, et voila.




The result it slightly more organic than a designer piece, but you just can't beat the price.

Tip : Pick out a crystal that is a little distressed or disfigured at the top, this makes it easier for the wire to hold on. If you don't have any wire, a roll is only a few dollars at any craft store.

bright eyes.

In honor of the new Bright Eyes album release today, I thought it appropriate to remember some of my favorite Bright Eyes videos. Along with a live performance of what I believe is the best song ever. Enjoy.

A london based photographer and one of my new favorites. I am for some reason quite intrigued by self-portrait collections, so here it is. However, she has so many more inspiring photographs at www.mariellamelie.com

this weeks secrets. valentine edition.




santa monica.

I've just returned from a trip to Los Angeles, which is the reason for the recent lack of posts. I did not have time to enjoy the scenery and pick up the camera but once. But what better place than the beach to do so.
