The Most Beautiful Song You Will Listen To This Weekend
Most gorgeous sounds from Iron and Wine. Also one of those bands that when you listen, you feel like they’re only for you.“Flightless Bird American Mouth”

The Absolute Dreamiest Lakeside Home On Its Own Private Island in Montana
One of my favorite online hobbies is shopping for real estate, particularly real estate that is grandly, exorbitantly out of my price range. This Montana estate fits nicely inside that requirement and I’ve been obsessing ever since I found it. My only regret is that the photos were better quality – they were sadly resized on the listing page which is a pity because a home like this demands perfect images.
The view from the water. Stunning views. I’m obsessed with the stone and the trees and the way the light is reflecting off the lake.
Chandeliers always do it for me.
Most beautiful copper solarium on the left, breakfast nook with the best views on the right.
Guest room with fireplace and stone terrace.
Huge kitchen which I don’t need to mention how huge it is. But oh my god it is huge.
Stone wine cellar. I’m not much of a drinker but it would be fun to have bottles upon bottles on hand for house guests.
Boat stall with rail system (! is that even necessary?? I don’t know but I like it).
More solarium and terrace overlooking Flathead Lake.
The terrace is obscene. I mean, I would host parties every night.
MORE. COPPER.
Don’t worry, that’s not a neighbor. That’s a 2 bedroom 4 bathroom guest house/boat house with another rail system and docks. Also there’s a workshop building, sporting clay course, and walking trails. Don’t ask me where because there aren’t pictures but they are somewhere and you get The Whole Island. 24 acres which also include an underground watering system because you want to keep this gem green and fresh. Want to see the property on Google Maps? I’ve got you covered:Are you in love yet? Put 20% down on the 68m purchase price, and then you’ll only owe $275,00 a month for the next 30 years. It’s almost like it’s free. Purchase here.

Recommendation: Teux Deux
I’ve long been a list maker (just look at my Lists category – lists for everything). Right up there with a clean house, I have lists to thank for my sanity and ability to be a productive human being. I’ve been a fan of Teux Deux from the beginning. It has a simple layout, web and iphone app, and automatically moves anything I don’t get done to the following day (without annoying notifications which usually cause me to stop using a list app). I recently received an email about the “Neux Teux Deux.” I immediately switched and love. Love. The new features (recurring tasks, naming individual ‘Someday’ lists) are all welcome additions, without feeling like they’ve changed it into a different app altogether.Since Teux Deux is such a critical part of my every day, I thought I’d wax poetic and share the goods. Get on the list for the Neux Teux Deux, or signup for the regular version until the new one is released.

Throwback Thursday: Jumping in Greece
Six years ago Taylor and I took a trip to Europe with our Dad, ending with this seaside photoshoot in Athens. After a week spent living off of frozen lemonade and greek pastries, staying up all night and sleeping all day (jetlag is forever), this was one of the most memorable parts of our trip.
Bonus!

Leggy
I am in the process of putting together my own (and first!) gallery show as part of my senior thesis at Warren Wilson College. From conception to execution, I have been solely slaving away for the past six months to make somethin outta nothin and create some new and original works of art. So check out these sneak peeks! Then give me some thoughts!
An excerpt from my artist statement:
My body of work, Long Legs, is a fusion between traditional portrait techniques and the use of digital editing software to create human forms that are not wholly human at all. I photograph real people in a variety of environments and then use digital manipulation to focus only on the legs. The similar use of color palette, lighting, and perspective flows throughout all of the images to create a domestic and comfortable dialogue between the figures and their surroundings.
When I made my first “leg-creature”, I wasn’t in any way sure what I was trying to do or say with the image. It was just challenging and weird and dark to create a figure that first sparked the comfort in familiarity of looking at a body, but quickly turns to unease and anxiety at the realization of the impossibility the figures represent. I’ve always recognized that I am more concerned with the visual aesthetic of my images, rather than conveying a specific message, emotion, or ideal through them, and so this project has taken form.
