It was all colors and heat


I haven't been into music, well mostly finding new music (I'm lazy) in a long while. But I really like this song by Alexander Ebert, and the rest of the album, "Alexander" seems pretty good so far too!


My favorite movie! I've always felt like Ray was my soul mate. It has a lot to do with his perfectly (and obliviously) inappropritate way of speaking, which I know doesn't say much about me. And the fact that I've been a bit (read: a lot) in love with Colin Farrell since watching him on Ballykissangel as a child (haha). Really though, there is so much to love about this movie! It manages to somehow be both the funniest and most thoughtful story simultaneously. Plus, you can't beat a fight between Mad Eye Moody and Voldemort in a fairy tale town, that really is exactly as its depicted. Two of my favorite scenes are here and here!
Some Lula magazine editorial illustrations for a commission. A work in progress.
 
 It is dark, cold, and rainy today (a result of the Hurricane, maybe?) and starting to feel like Fall! I'm pretty excited for the excuse to watch more movies, bake things with pumpkin in them, and to wear tights every day again. I also like to think that I will be more productive when its less sunny and inviting outside, something that is a bit sad to say goodbye to. I hope Korea, and it's weather, are treating you well!

Everlasting Icicles



Here is a little collection in memory of Harry Potter/our childhood! It includes book covers and chapter art from various versions released around the world. So many great illustrations have been done in different styles for each location. 
 
Many more can be seen here!

Beginnings

I love looking at the initial sketches and scribblings of artists and authors. Here are some of J.K. Rowling's, done while she was dreaming up Harry Potter!

A Half Way Pause

These photos by Yuval Hen for How To Spend it are amazing! Definitely some of the nicest images that I've seen in a while. They feature Ginny Weasley, err, I mean Bonnie Wright, in an ode to the aesthetic movement and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The photos really capture the style perfectly, having such a soft and painterly look to them. They also make me really want red hair, at least for a moment.

November Things


Wishing for a cape and some hearts to put in my hair. I can't believe it is almost December!


Finding some photo inspiration from Shae Acopian Detar.


Geeking out over Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows! So sad and wonderful. I can't believe the end is so close. Also, I want to go to a Bill and Fleur-esque wedding...minus the Death Eaters (I think...).



Watching Charade at least 3 times in one week. It seems to be a November tradition of mine to watch through all of my favorite Audrey Hepburn movies.I know it's so typical but they will always be my favorites. I love the old Hollywood dramatic story lines and how the friendships and romances are so simple and humorous. Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant do a really nice job of that with Charade (although no one beats Fred Astaire!) I think I will forever feel a bit attached to this one too, as I thought that Walter Matthau was my grandfather for years haha. They looked exactly alike!

Oooh, look, a Blibbering Humdinger!


I thought that it would be fitting to do a post on Luna Lovegood, as we were just talking about her the other day! She is definitely my favorite character. I love her personality and relate to how she's always in her head and comes across as a bit odd because of it. She's so funny, and of course her clothes in the movies are wonderful!



I've been absolutely in love with this dress since seeing the movie last summer, although the last time I searched I wasn't able to find quite so many photos of it. It's so perfectly pretty and quirky. How disappointing that it wasn't at the Toronto exhibition!




I used to be quite the beader (non word?) as a child, haha I know what a shock! I would like to try my hand at making the radish earrings sometime...I thought this set was really nice though.


Oh, and I definitely know that my first bit of tax return money will be going towards some spectrespecs. I did not realize that they were so affordable, haha.




Most photos from unknown sources (my desktop is ridiculous!), jewlery from here, and spectrespecs from here!
