Seasonal bit.

Seasons Changing
With only a few short days of summer left, 7 to be precise; it seems only fitting to bid adieu......sigh. Goodbye summer, until we meet again.

Fashion bit.

Style Crush
Brit It Girl Alexa Chung launched her Alexa Chung for Madewell Fall 2010 collection a few days back.  Love the oxfords, high-waisted shorts, and vintage inspired frocks.  Safe to say that I'd be happy to have one of everything. Excessive much? Me thinks not.

Music bit.

"The Wilderness Downtown"
Want to pen a note to your "younger self"?  Arcade Fire teams up with Google Chrome and Chris Milk to launch an interactive video with custom rendered maps and choreographed windows.  Set to the band's track "We Used to Wait", the film asks you to enter your childhood address...and takes you on a nostalgic trip back to your old hood.  Quite enjoyable:)

Travel bit.

Jericoacoara, Brazil
Having spent the better part of August travelling throughout Brazil...6 states and 8 cities, much of which was on the go, we were thrilled to slow it down a bit and spend a few days enjoying some R&R. Somewhere among the dune buggies, kite surfers, sunsets, caiparinhas and endless sand dunes lies Jeri.  Jericoacoara (Jeri for short) is a quaint fishing village on the northeastern coast of Brazil, 300kms West of Fortaleza.  Drawing people to this unknown and unusual location are the town's lengthy beaches, surrounded by sand dunes and freshwater lagoons.  Though the small fishing village has been growing, building limitations are protecting the influx of massive buildings/hotels and allowing it to grow in a positive way.  If you want to kick back, relax and take in the breathtaking views atop "Sunset Dune" - Jeri is a must!
