sweethomestyle:(via maluna)
I have to say, it’s becoming more than a little frustrating that SHS never has any info about photos like this (where from, where photographed), even after clicking the link.
There’s lazyblogging and there’s just plain lazy blogging. I might have to unfollow and start reblogging Apartment Therapy pics. At least those have some credits.

I feel exactly the same way. I stopped following them (apparently this is a group effort) because, even though the pics are gorgeous and inspiring, they quickly become boring when there is no context whatsoever. Who is the photographer? Where is this? In cases where there is an interior, who is the designer? What other work have they done? Etc., etc. 
In addition, I had two of my own photos reblogged with my info stripped off. Why do that? Why not let others know whose work it is? And the thing is, I’m not so sure “lazy” is the answer. Isn’t it easier to include the original info, rather than take the extra step to strip it off?

Came across this today. I’ve saved all my kids’ expired passports. Of course I have.

It still lives.
And I’m messing around with my (new to me, first ever) iphone this morning. And camera bag. And dragging my heels getting to work.

Oh, my. Your thumb, it’s green.

When it looks like we’re going to have a severe storm, I go out and cut some flowers from my balcony garden; otherwise they’ll just get crushed. Today’s selection: geranium, angelonia, zinnia, blanket flower, nasturtium, lobelia, and one perfect poppy.

The teaser poster for ‘Dexter’ season 4
For those of you not caught up on ‘Dexter’ this image might come as a spoiler (or just an obvious plot direction for the show). The fourth season finds Dexter dealing with becoming a father and John Lithgow being added to the cast as the Trinity Killer. A new serial killer in town who is envious of Dexter’s ability to stay under-the-radar.
‘Dexter’ season 4 premiere September 27th 2009

Can not wait.

Ditto. Andrea, I hope you’re caught up by then. :)

Showtime On Demand just added seasons 2 & 3! See you when I come up for air, maybe Sunday or so.

My favorite Pinwheel Art by Adron, featured at AdronWorld.

Cool artwork and the music makes me feel energized (always a good thing!).

The Most Staggering Footage Yet

And I’ve seen a lot. Just watch this pitched battle in the streets between a crowd and the riot police (via BBC Farsi). And watch it to the very end, as the police suddenly turn tail and run. Yes, you can hear the shouts ‘Hurrah!” and I confess I found myself yelling it at my lap-top as well. Let us hope this is a microcosm of the whole thing. Faced with so many with such determination, the will of the regime will crumble.

Burberry, Spring/Summer 2010, Yesterday, Milan, IT.
And so starts my second season in the fashion world. Just as it was last January, Burberry was the first show of my season, my first show ever!. What a pleasure and an honor! Chris (Van Ashe) and his team treat us all with utmost respect, and the confidence of the models comes through in the show. From the manicures, to the food spread and the laid back vibe, Burberry is a stellar way to start the season.
…And it doesn’t hurt that the clothes are super high quality, too.
