color, ffffound.
i spent some time surfing around ffffound today, and ended up with a fantastic retro-inspired image collection a la, pops of green, yellow and blue all over. if you have yet to discover ffffound, i suggest you pop on over for some inspiration of your own!
oh, and speaking of inspiration, i hope you are all following along with the ‘blog it forward‘ mashup — there’s been some amazing inspiration shared so far! you can check the full schedule here.
*note: the only problem i find with ffffound, its not got very clear photo credits. so i apologize for the lack of links.

tuesday’s girl: teenangster.
i discovered this blog via twitter a few weeks ago, and fell head over heads for this brooklyn-based girl’s aesthetic. meet teenangster. alison may be young (and hardly a teenager), but she’s wise beyond her 27 years, and clever as all get out! i thought i’d share some of the compeling images i found lurking on her blog, teenangster. alison also blogs for etsy, and you can follow her tweets, here.

good reads: grow great grub giveaway!
i’d known about gayla trail and her blog, you grow girl for years, and had admired her from afar. but this year, i was lucky enough to meet her, and share a panel with her at the alt design summit. and, we shared some great sushi, over some wonderful conversation. i found gayla’s enthusiasm for gardening, growing great food highly contagious. and her new book, grow great grub, is a huge inspiration to me to make my small balcony garden flourish with as many organic edibles as i can grow. as gayla points out in her book, “your patio, rooftop or windowsill is potential for a fresh food garden waiting to happen.”
and, to inspire you to grow great grub, i’m giving away a copy of gayla’s book to one lucky gardener! simply share you favorite things to grow in the comment section below (and include a way to contact you), by wednesday, february 17th, and i’ll pick a winner later next week! thank you gayla, for sharing all your wonderful gardening wisdom. for more about gayla, check out you grow girl, and her other great book, by the same name!

catch a wave and you’re sitting on top of the world.
i grew up in the san fernando valley, just over the hills from malibu. i spent many more days ditching school than i probably should share, loading up my mum’s country squire station wagon with boys, boards and beach towels. so when i saw chris brown’s latest blog, i instantly fell in love. chris is the editor/writer of refuled magazine, and his new site choka, is loaded with many great beach and surf inspired photographs and stories of summer. choka, a surf term for ‘bitchin’, awesome, cool’, etc., is dedicated to surf, skate & snow. c’mon, catch the choka wave.

oh dear, dear dwell.
there’s a new blog in town, and it’s freakin’ hilarious. mocking those oh-so-serious images we sometimes see via dwell magazine with clever captions (and, i love dwell, but it does put out some seriously straight-faced photographs). it’s called unhappy hipsters, and it’s all the rage on twitter. as they say, it is very ‘lonely in the modern world’.
via the unhappy hipsters: “The things that once so defined him — shag carpeting, Room & Board sofas, monogamy — now suffocated him.” (Dwell, September 2009.)
