this mess.

please excuse me while i tidy up the little mess around here. you know, the one on the blog, not necessarily the one in my room. which as you can see, is pretty bad. piles on the desk, clothes on my chair – hence my working from the bed. actually i always work from the bed even when my desk + chair is cleared however rarely that may be. ha!

anyways. i’m currently gathering inspiration, designing and executing a teeny little blog redesign. nothing major, just a little sprucing up to make this place a place where i want to be spending more time. hopefully a little face lift will give me the inspiration i need to start blogging a little more regularly.

so please don’t mind the mess around here over the next little while, good chance things could look pretty crazy as i work on this space, especially since i don’t really know what i’m doing and am only hoping things turn out the way i’m envisioning. ha.

love youuuu.

omg he blogged!! aaaand scrapbooked?!?

oh heyy.

so yup, for those of you who don’t follow me on twitter and see my frequent, ridiculous tweets – i am still alive.  for those of you who only follow me on my blog, and who only know me through my blog then i can completely understand why you might have thought i was dead on account of the fact that i haven’t blogged in well over a month and a half.

why did i stop you ask? well it was partly because i didn’t have a computer for a while and got out of the habit of it. but it was also because i just wasn’t feeling it.

so then what brings me back is naturally the next question on your mind. well one thing is a sweet comment on my last post from the lovely Sasha. also this past week my senses have been on overload from new york fashion week.

i don’t know what it is but fashion gets me so creatively excited. there is just something about it. i don’t think i’ll blog about it here, i tweet about it pretty frequently though so check it out on twitter. really quickly though, some highlights from the fw’11 shows so far are proenza schouler, marc jacobs, alice + olivia and rodarte (obvs).

anyways, for the time being i’m back. and while i’m here, i’ll share a layout i finished yesterday.

This is for the February Creative Type prompt. (check out what the other girls came up and play along for yourself right here) it is also the start of my documenting my trip to india. i think i’ve finally decided how i’m going to document it on paper which will no doubt lead to me blogging about it. so yay for that.

anyways, i’m sorry for this random collection of thoughts and ramblings and the extra long hiatus. but i’m back and i’m glad to be back. i missed all of you :)

2010 in Review Part 1– A Year in Photos

January was for flannel shirts and cuddles with that cutie face. February was for Valentines dates with Mr. Mayer and one of my bests. March was for St. Patrick’s day adventures and amazepants jump shots. April was for suuuuper long hair dos. May was for beautiful weather, picnics and silly portraits of your brother at your cousin’s wedding. June and July were for huge dreams coming true. :) (which I will be blogging all about in the new year. Promise.) August was for spending time with the fam, working every night, and bumper cars, obvs.

  September was for roadtrips, state fairs and new friends. hiii :) (last two photos courtesy of Katie)

October was for family portraits and gem tank-tops (accompanied by a LOT of lunges). November was for procrastinating exam prep and instead distracting yourself with Christmas coffee, Christmas with lights and paper snowflakes.    December was for snowdays, studying, exams and friend family portraits.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you and your family from me and my family. I seriously hope your day is full of magic.

Christmas Playist

So I had planned on putting together a Christmas playlist for you, my friends but you know how time slips away, especially when your life is consumed with finals.

Aaanyways the reality is I’m listening to a lot of the same Christmas music as I did last year so I decided I would just share the playlists I made last year again.

So I present to you, for the second year in a row merry.merry.christmas part one and two.

So I am listening to all these lovelies plus  a lot of the Oh Blue Christmas album by A Fine Frenzy. I’m also listening to (probably the most) The Christmas Collection by Sleeping at Last (which is free, so go download it!).

Enjoy these lovely treats for your ears.

Jeremy :)

Ps. I Love You.

One of my favourite Christmas playlists out there right now is by my cutie pal Kara.

You can listen to her’s right here.

If you like mine you’ll like hers. So go treat your ears.

Uncut Christmas Vlog.

I always say I should Vlog about something but I never have anything good to Vlog about and I always feel like my videos are suuuper awkward after I shoot them. Anyways so when Kim asked me to be a part of a little Christmas project she was putting together, it was just the kick in the ass I needed to actually put together a little Vlog.

You can see Kim’s blog with all of the lovely ladies who took part here. Or right on my blog in my post from yesterday (GO!) Like I said yesterday, it is totally worth your ten minutes to watch that video. It is funny and heart-warming and just a lovely little video.

Anyways, I sent Kim over 5 minutes of me awkwardly rambling on about many a Christmassy things. Here, is that full video.

Once again, big thanks to the lovely people at YouTube for picking the most amazing screencap of me as the start image. And yes I know you can change them, this is the best of the three options I was given.

If you make it through the whole awkward thing congrats because I definitely can’t. I dunno, there is just something about watching myself on video – so strange. Also I had to cut out a ton of me laughing after the carollers comment. It was such a ridiculous thing for me to say and I cracked myself up.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy it. I always love seeing other bloggers do Vlogs, its a fun little look into what they’re like in person.

Inter-Webular Goings On

We are currently in the thick of finals period kids. During this time period it is common to find students all over the nation drinking coffee as fast as it can be made, with bags under their eyes, stressed and un-showered. This is including myself, as evidenced by this group of texts Random yes. We were planning getting some supplies or Christmas dinner later this week.  And just for your information “And I shebang showered in days” is read “and I haven’t showered in days” ha. I was waiting for the bus, my fingers got cold and spazzy and my phone auto-corrected whatever I had typed to shebang. Classic autocorrect. But yes, I haven’t showered in days. My hair is disgusting and I’m keeping it contained in a hat and I don’t think that I’ve started to develop a smell so…

Anyways, there are some pretty exciting things going on around the interweb this week.

First, my pal London (holler!) of Such Sweet Tierney is currently hosting a 12 days of giveaways on her blog. Its currently day three and you can enter every day, all 12 days for a chance to win some really cool prizes. So go on over and get yourself some good swag.

Next, Vanessa blogged about the time back in September when I went to go visit her and crash the baby shower she was throwing for miss Katie. Here is proof that this little meeting did in fact take place. Yay! it was fun to be reminded of the good weekend we had. I can’t say it enough how cute and sweet Steven and Katie are, and Vanessa was a wonderful, and funny, with a fridge full of boxed wine. Such a good hostess. Anyways, go here to read all about our fun weekend.

Finally, the lovely Kimberly Scott asked me to take part in a little Christmas Vlog she put together. So I got out my little camera and started to ramble on about all things Christmas. Here is the video that Kim put together – its super good and totally worth your ten minutes.

Check out Kim’s post about the video here to see all of the fantastic ladies who were involved. It was just the break from studying I needed to keep my sanity and I’m so happy I got to be a part of it. Thanks Kim!

Aaanyways, I am going to take the rest of the day off (I think) I may motivate myself to give this little apartment a deep clean but we’ll see.

I’ll be back tomorrow to share the full, uncut (awkward) five minutes of me just rambling on about Christmas.

ilu.

ps. i love you This super pretty picture was in my email the other day in an email I got from Toast. Pretty right?
