I’m very passionate borderline obsessive about the colour white. Just as I’m very passionate borderline obsessive about interior design. Together they form a sort of Krissy-magnet where I’m instantaneously attracted straight to anything and everything boasting white and/or interior design. I just can’t tear my eyes away, and experience incredible colour/design lust. There you have it, the secret to my heart: white. Some people melt at the taste of chocolate, others at the sight of a beautiful pair of shoesⁱ… me? I get weak in the knees over white-clad interiors. So imagine my delight when I found this house designed entirely in white splashed across the glossy pages of last month’s Canada’s Style at Home magazine. There was real life drooling. No joke. Think Sailor Moon gushing over Tuxedo Mask with the little hearts popping out of her eyes. That kind of lust. If there were others around at the time, I’m sure they would have been slightly disturbed by my obsessive love.

For the past few days, I’ve been indulging in a sea of wonderful new music. On the 23rd, my all-time favourite band, Goldfrapp, released their fifth album Head First. (Coincidentally, another favourite band of mine, She & Him, also released a new album that day as well, so I’ve been delighting in listening to both new albums – both of which are phenomenal!) For the last 5 days straight, the only two things playing in my iTunes have been either She & Him or Goldfrapp.

Where and when my love affair with the illustrious Goldfrapp began, I do not recall, but it seems that with the release of each new album, that obsessive place in my heart for their music seems to expand two-, or perhaps even three-, fold. Their fourth album, Seventh Tree, is quite possibly my favourite album of all-time. Of any musician. Ever. Quite a bold statement, I know… but that album is just pure, delicious folky love; so quite naturally, my hopes and expectations were very, very high for Head First. And man, oh man, Alison and Willⁱ did not disappoint!
