Twelve South has this amazing vintage looking leather laptop case that is perfect for my MacBook. They claim it looks just like a hardcover vintage book and not only does it look good, but it “will be out of sight, even when it is sitting in plain view.

It’s another rainy day here in LA but listening to Baltimore’s Beach House, “Teen Dream”, brings sunshine to this gloomy day. This album is packed with the usual Beach House dreaminess and gorgeousness. It’s a bit more upbeat than “Devotion”, which I luved. I was so happy to have seen them performed back in October when they opened up for Grizzly Bear and this third album does not disappoint, be prepared to be swooned off your feet!

This weather makes me want to have a steaming hot bowl of soup.
Sunday night I took advantage of the discounted price to get into one of my fave places, the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific. If you live in southern California you have to visit this aquarium, it’s really quite magical:
Happy Friday folks! Let’s grab a banjo and dance:

Aww, this makes me want to watch this cute & charming movie all over again. Wes Anderson reprises his role of the weasel in the movie for this acceptance speech.

and how fantastic was Jarvis Cocker’s little cameo? ~sigh~ I remember the days when I use to hang a big poster of him in my studio…
These shoes are all sorts of cool, I really like the patterns and colors. I’m thinking of getting the dark denim one:
