Splitscreen: A Love Story

This video made its rounds on the internet last summer, but you should watch it if you haven't. Or watch it again, like me. This video by JW Griffiths was the winner of the Nokia Shorts Competition 2011 and was shot entirely on an N8 mobile phone. Prepare to have your heart strings tugged. 

Live The Language: Vancouver and Sydney

You guuuuuyyyyzzzz, these videos are like my favorite things everrrrrrrr (super annoying whiney girly voice). 

Seriously though, no videos have ever made me want to travel this badly.

The Spring Line I'm Craving Mid-Winter

I'm seriously practicing trying to be more "in the now", but as a Minnesotan it gets FREAKING HARD to do so for six gloomy months straight. So, confession: I may or may not be already dreaming of spring shopping, ESPECIALLY Madewell's bright and cheery designs. I want a polka-dot skirt and bright yellow flats and an outfit that's bright on top and bottom (eyein' the CRAP out of that cherry red and fuchsia combo.) How many days until spring break again?

P.S., did you know I'm on Pinterest? Cuzzzzz I am. And here's my page.
