The Coasts of Bretagne





Ocean inspired. My leather ebay backpack. My striped scarf, with a racerback gray jersey dress, a Bretagne scarf from my moms trip to Finnistaire(sp?) and my silver rings with heart bracelet. Street of St. Malo...quicksand in Mont St. Michel.

Je reconfirme, c'est moche

Bird stencil I made a while ago....I tried to draw this on one of my friends one day and it turned out the ugliest thing you've ever seen. She thought I did it on purpose. Pshhh.

Smells Like Teen Spirit


I have apparently been in charge of sweatshirts for our soccer team next year. Started to whip up some designs. Here's the back to one of them.

La Braderie?




Flea Market in Bruz! What a score. Yesterday went to h&m and bought a leopard button down and some blue nail polish. Today, bought a ring for 5 euros and a beaded lipstick case for one. I wanted this necklace, but the guy wanted 5 euros for it. I told him I'd give him three but he made it clear he would only take four. Meh....I decided to pass it up.

Aht Uh Mi Hed



Was supposed to be running yesterday, but instead made this bracelet out of old bobby pins and some chain from a necklace(that I had to sacrifice). I will be so glad to go back home and be able to use all my normal materials. It's been really hard to find things to make other things out of as the French are so don't-keep-or-buy-anything-we-don't-need-y.

Rainy Monday. Isn't that a Shiny Toy Guns song?

Who the hell am I kidding, I know very well it's a song by the Shiny Toy Guns...being their biggest closet fan.
So it was raining and the plants outside my room looked oh so lovely, and so I opened my window and climbed through to take some pictassss. One of the benefits of living on the first floor for the first time in my life.

Then I decided to whip out some of the jewelry I made to photograph it. I had this whole image of these awesome Dan Powell images with the juxtaposition of the bright jewelry against the watery green but it ended up kinda lame. Oh who just said that creepy ass sentence about a kid I barely know? Wasn't me.
Classic Morgan fail. When I was holding the camera, I figured I might as well take a picture of myself seeing as I haven't done that since god knows when. And hey, It turned out pretty well! Until I decided that a pale sweater would look better with everything so I went and changed. Came back and tried to take the same picture. I just proved my own point-- thumbnail sketches and first drafts always fuck your life up.

Lola L-O-L-A Loooola

I have been meaning to post this picture of my credit card jewelry. Ok yeah, I didn't just come up with the idea...the bracelet is actually from a book (which I forget the name of at the moment) however I did make up the necklace!

Zebra-Beach House


After wishing I had an ear cuff I decided to pull my shit together and take the initiative to make one myself. I was actually pretty surprised that I managed to make one out of the very little materials I brought with me to France. Literally just brought about a foot of wire, and a foot of chain. Happened to be just enough to get 'er done.

Woodfriend-Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson


Tried to paint some stars the other day...success? I think not, but it makes a cool painting none the less.

I SEE YOU



So there aren't a lot of resources floating around in this town of Bruz, but I did go to see Avatar in 3-D a while back, so I thought I'd put the glasses to good use.

Things




Some things I have been wanting since January. Frye Engineer boots, Northface hooded jacket (in black though), and satchel from the Cambridge Satchel Company.

Merci Dieu, c'est Vendredi





Some things I found from the internet and would love right now. That food, those bracelets, those fake grapes and that room. I'd also like some sun please! Something Bruz is lacking.

Procrastination


Marie-Pierre and Philippe suggested I read some French books, or watch some French movies. They then gave me this Asterix and Obelix comic book. The thing can suck one, because I have to look up every word.

Sweatshirt!

That's a sweatshirt I bought at Zara in April. Zara isn't too expensive, so I'm down.

I wish I had this ring and this dress



Both from Etsy

Look its my desktop!




That's an elephant, then there's a leather pencil case, my new headband from h&m (1.60 euros thank you very much) and the amazon package "Le Parti Pris Des Chose" came in.

Missing 802





Went to the coast again, got this photo the first ten minutes we arrived from the car, from then on, the beaches were empty thanks to all the dumb rain. See the wittle wooms with the two wittle beds? Also thats a painting Ive been doing.
