Creativity With Precision

Recently I've become obsessed with writing (on paper). I've found it's really satisfying to have record of ideas, from their development right up to their execution. Notebooks are just the best inventions if, like me, you stuggle with words and communicating your trail of thought with others. Since this started about 2 month ago I've gotten through 3 spirals and a huge pack of post-its; mainly with web designs and life lists, future plans and freehand sketches.

The problem is that I've had free access to perfect mini-sketchbooks from my lovely school art department and now I've left school, thus no more free supplies. I like to buy quality, well-made things so WHSmith's 5-pack isn't going to cut it. After some serious research I picked Field Notes over Moleskine and Jottrr. Field Notes are beautiful and earthy and have a military-style Futura block type on the front. People make the covers pretty as well by drawing and screen-printing and their awesome (sold out) dry transfer editions where you title it whatever you want.

Then after some severe stalking I found some of their videos about the production process. It's such an exact art. Printing presses are just fascinating, how the repetition is so precise and ah I can't explain quite how much passion I have for when creative aesthetics meet productivity and mathematics. I think that conjunction is formally called 'Design'. Anyway. These are so charming I've bought a set complete with rubber bands, pens and pencils, I can't wait to start creating in them.

Bon Iver - Towers

In response to the question "What the hell has Charlotte been doing recently?"

well I've been taking photos and avoiding Blogger, because I have this post planned about my Dad's house that I just never put up. Anyway. I reinvented my photography site, so it's prettier and has more pictures (like all these filmy ones).
I'm also going to stop calling this a fashion blog because it just isn't. It's about anything and everything I'm interested in.

Zana Bayne Leather

I really want to work with leather. These pieces are by Zana Bayne who goes to a lot of strange parties. I love when geometry and fashion harmonize. They're just so perfect. There are no words. I need to either buy one of these or make one.

Life is more fun when you look absolutely ridiculous. I've been wanting to post about these boots since I got them ~6 weeks ago and the yearning to reference Harry Potter overruled rationality. On top of that there's nobody around to take pictures so I took a video hoping to get at least one good still, but I didn't actually stop singing through this whole ordeal so there weren't any caps without a bizarre facial expression. Screw it, gifs are way cooler anyways (apart from I can't put it on LB. sob). Back to the boots - I only bought them for the laces they're like bowling shoes cross ice skates cross sneakers and ever so comfy. I have a boot obsession, these are pair #2 of this year (the others were Carvela, sorry bank balance!), please intervene if I buy more.
