Art. After spending an hour in the Boise Art Museum today, I walked away with a new found appricaition of art. When they say a picture can say a thousand words, it really is true. These incredible artists tell a story with their work. They inspire people, they motivate people, they share their love and talent with the world and it is really incredible. Here are just a select few of my favorite pieces from the museum. Please click on each picture in order to really get all the incredible detail. As lame as it may seem, when I saw the Darren Waterston picture, which by the way is gigantic, I literally gasped. It is honestly one of the most beautiful and incredible art piece I have ever seen. I fell in love. The video was on display by Chris Cunningham. The song is All is Full of Love by Bjork. Incredible video. The robots hooking up was a bit bizare, but regardless, it's still incredible.
I was terribly bummed that I couldn't find the exact Lisa Solomon pieces that were in the museum, but please look at her incredible work here and her blog here. She is becoming one of my new favorite artists. I especially love her embroidery pieces. There were so many incredible paintings and drawings, I wish I could find pictures of all of them! If you live near an art museum I definately incourage you to go immediately and appreciate all the incredible works of art! What are you grateful for today?? XOXO Taylor

Today was such a beautiful start to March. Here's what's making me happy today;; Lovely weather Bike rides through a beautiful park. Getting a 99% on my French test! Je suis très intelligente.;] These beauties that I got in the mail today from Miss Elsiecake's Etsy This ADORABLE necklace that I got yesterday The incredible people I am blessed enough to have in my life. These beautiful images. I've challenged myself to post one thing that I am grateful for each and every day for this entire week. Far too often we take life for granted and don't appreciate the little things. So my challenge for you is to take the grateful challenge. If you have a blog/twitter/facebook/myspace, post one thing you're grateful for every day for the rest of the week. Otherwise, just write down one thing every day that you are grateful for. Don't let life pass you by. xoxo
Taylor In 20 days! Wooo! baha =] so I decided to make a cute little wishlist. Mostly because I have two hours until my next class and felt like looking online for fun, cute stuff to lust after. =] Just some cute fun stuff I found! =] And the cute little Hannah Zakari I <3 You, Hello, and Bonjour brooches I just thought were necessary to add to the over-all cuteness =] haha
This week I really challenged myself to find a brand new band that I loved to share with you and I came across this lovely band I don't know what it is that I find so facinating about this band. Perhaps it's because I don't normally listen to this kind of music. But I find it so beautiful and intruiging. I really like her voice and I think the music has this incredible light and bubbly air to it. It's hard not to feel happy when you listen to them and I really like that. Now, Now Every Children consists of Cacie Dalager, Brad Hale, with Britty Hale and Christine Sako accompanying them when they play live. Their from Minneapolis, MN and have one full length album-Cars, and two EPs- Not One, But Two. and In the City. They're signed on Afternoon Records. Sorry there are so many videos! I couldn't narrow down my favorites so I included all the songs from their purevolume page =] haha
Find them on iTunes, purevolume, and myspace. =] xoxo Taylor I fell in love... oh my goodness... I love the band A Fine Frenzy and have for a while, but this just made me love them even more. <33
