i would NEVER have thought to combine these things, but i am not kidding you – it is so delicious:
start by toasting fruit and nut bread (this one was from whole foods)
drizzle olive oil on the bread
spread guacamole on the bread
add some brie cheese
top with green grapes
and enjoy :)
“misunderstood buildings” by amy eckert, who writes:
“If houses can be said to have personalities, who’s to say they don’t have longings, imaginations, inner lives? In architecture, a folly is an extravagant, useless, or fanciful building, or one that appears to be something other than what it is. In their book Follies, Grottoes & Garden Buildings, Headley & Meulenkamp define a folly as a “misunderstood building”.
In this collage series I combine my own images with pictures from architecture books and manufacturers catalogues. By removing the house from a picture, I get to fill up that void with my own extravagant, useless, or fanciful ideas. I like to play around with the reliable stability of architectural space and confuse inside with outside, shelter with storm.”
not particuarly a fan, coming from an architecture background i would prefer the buildings to “want to be” something outside of the realm of the natural or built environment…like Bernard Tschumis follies in Parc de la Vilettes in Paris
ohhh, this kinda gives me chills. what brilliance
i took a little tour of the office with grizzly bear today and man does she have it good… everywhere she goes people want to give her hugs and kisses and treats! here’s a look at a day in the life of a free people pup :)

the leash in the mouth means she’s ready to move on…

there’s a very cool show opening at space 1026 in philly tonight – featuring the work of chrissy piper, an amazing photographer who shot our upcoming december catalog! the show consists of portraits from her 3 records series, in which she asks the people she photographs to name three records that changed and/or inspired their lives. i think its such an amazing concept, and makes the portraits so much more personal.
also, two of our very inspiring fp girls were photographed for the 3 records series, so i wanted to share their portraits and their responses with you :)
our creative director:
and our videographer:
here’s a preview of the show from the space 1026 website:
also check out more of chrissy piper’s work on her website – i can’t wait to show you some shots from our december book, she did such an awesome job!
this of course got me thinking about how i would respond to the 3 records question. my answers are probably pretty typical but i think i would have to say…
bob marley’s legend, not because i think its the best collection of his music, but because that album to me represents my happiest childhood memories, being at the beach with my family. the beatles rubber soul, which my best friend in grade school gave me (on cassette), and sparked my obsession with the band that is still going strong. and bob dylan’s blood on the tracks because it got me through a really difficult time, and still does when i’m having a bad day.
what are three records that changed and/or inspired your life? i’d love to hear :)
1. fleetwood mac, rumours. actually, ALL fleetwood mac
2. “africa” by toto
3. all kings of leon
4. all josh ritter
5. and the song “can’t you hear me knocking” by the rolling stones.
Ani difranco changed my life, too ::sigh::!
So did Tori Amos’ Little Earthquakes and The Cranberries!!
It is way too difficult to narrow it down to three :/
I guess I’m going to say
Tori Amos-From the Choirgirl Hotel
Ani Difranco-Little Plastic Castle and
TV on The Radio- Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes
oh my god, It’s so hard to choose.
hwe had a couple of twin spottings in the office yesterday! first, wearing the we the free motoring in fleece jacket:
