in our house, sugar chicks don't stand a chance.

happy holiday!

from multi-colored blinds to an orange oasis in the middle of a parking lot, it's beginning to look a lot like springtime, darlings.

oh, jon hamm -- trending on twitter yesterday due to your manly obstacle.

i, on the other hand, admire you for your art (of course).

hence, the jon hamm coloring book.

... i've lived my entire life in california and i am a terrible surfer.

i believe that makes me totally uncool in a totally unironic kinda way.

amsterdam based artist, hagar vardimon-van heummen, likes to work with thread and paper.

and this makes me happy.

visit hager's website happy red fish and visit his shop here.

over the weekend, i found myself combing through apartment therapy's house tours and stumbled across the downtown los angeles loft of artist kelly reemtsen.

i've featured kelly's beautifully badass art a few years ago (vintage frocks and chainsaws...oh my!) and could not resist sharing her spacious and covetable loft. filled with vintage furnishing, paints and props, and her signature "kelly orange," miss reemstsen has created a perfect palace for inspiration and conjuring killer canvases.

more on kelly reemtsen's downtown live work space at apartment therapy.

stay for the sideburns.
