style file week three

Here goes week three of the style file series! I am repeating pieces, but trying my best to get 30 different outfits throughout the entire series. I *gasp* had to wear flip-flops one day this week because I was just too tired to find something else. Before I started this, flip-flops were a daily occurrence, but I wanted to show off part of my vast shoe collection so I have been trying not to wear them to work. I do generally wear flats, and save heels for special nights on the town. 

Don’t forget, full size images are on flickr, and Monique’s weekly post is up on Geek Squeak!

high contrast

Sometimes you find something that you love so much you feel like you were punched in the gut. That’s what happened when I found Nicolas Alan Cope’s Architecture II series in his portfolio. I actually said, “Oof!” when I looked at these. I love the contrast in these b & w architectural scenes.

In a somewhat related anecdote, whenever I see a black & white photograph I hear my high school photography teacher say, “The white whites, the black blacks and all of the values in between.” She was a little nutty, so you can imagine why I am attracted to photographs that skip “all of the values in between.”

too much stuff

This Too Much Stuff wallpaper from Flat Vernacular might be a little too much for most people’s walls, but that’s kind of the point, hundreds of tiny illustrations of stuff. It would be a good reminder to clean out your closet once in a while. Even if I couldn’t bare to see this covering my walls, I still love the illustration style and the scale.
