Quotation of the Week

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary."

Simplicity...

There's something to be said about looks, which require no jewelry, no fuss, and no fear of matching. Now if only we could wear bright white and have this islander tan all yearlong!

Quotation of the Week

"The woman who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been."

Have an adventurous weekend!

The "Eat" clip is so sensory to me. It makes me want to dig a spoon into a spongey, dense chocolate cake... Mmmm.

"Inspired by French bicycle design of the 50’s and 60’s we have created a bicycle that preserves the simple elegance, and pure form of that golden era but has all the benefits of modern comfort and reliability. LINUS is the utilitarian, city bike… simple and reliable but with a personality and style that makes you feel like you’re in an old French movie… you’re floating a little from the wine you drank at lunch… maybe instead of going back to the office you’ll take a nap under a tree, go for a swim in the sea or drop by your lover’s house…


In most urban cultures bicycles are viewed as legitimate transportation and not merely recreation, but sadly this idea never really caught on in the US. We take numerous little journeys, under 5 miles, as part of our everyday life…. to the store, the pub, to work, etc. Besides the obvious joy of riding a bicycle, these small bicycle trips reduce carbon emissions, congestion, noise pollution, and make for a happier, city experience.

That’s LINUS… a simple, affordable, elegant bike for riding around and doing stuff."

You crack me up.

It's a new month!! July was a bit hectic. I'm looking to recenter this month and get down to business. I always find that a clear work space helps promote a clear mind. Now if only my real desk was as clean and zen as the one pictured above...
