I have a love/hate relationship with doing laundry. Part of me absolutely loves the feeling of a closet full of fresh, clean clothes; it’s kind of like going shopping without spending a dime. The other half hates the sorting, lugging, and folding process with a passion. Call it the honeymoon period if you will, but [...]

The other day I came across this old print campaign by a German job recruitment company that caught my eye. They ran a print campaign called “Life is too short for the wrong job”, placing various strategic posters on everyday machines in a guerrilla marketing style. It’s a whimsy, business driven message, but it raises some interesting [...]

One thing that I’ve been trying to do more and more of with my own Etsy is list a wide variety of products. I don’t mean necessarily that I will be branching off into several genres of items – I find keeping a common theme or niche seems to work better. Rather, I’m trying to [...]

Some of these items I knew about, but some of them really surprised me. Take a look at the list and let me know how your “safety knowledge” faired! (ps- [...]

These last few weeks have been filled with showers of all sorts: from bridal to baby, and the occasional burst of raindrops that keep the warm weather at bay, it has definitely been eventful. I apologize for not being able to post as much lately – I’ve had my hands full! This last Saturday I [...]

This spring/summer I would love to spend some time creating a pretty outdoor space to enjoy with my husband. For the past year and a half that we’ve lived in our home, our patio area hasn’t been a huge priority – Ollie has pretty much taken over that arena. I’m ready to reclaim the space, [...]

Last Thursday I had the honor of attending the Creative Industry Meet Up at Eel and Ermine in San Francisco. Edyta Szyszlo [event photographer] and Megan Shuler [of Enjoy Events Co.] had contacted me about a week beforehand asking if I would be willing to supply some of my rope bracelets as favors. I said [...]

Like many of you, I love looking through different street fashion blogs. I find real people easier to get inspiration from versus magazine shoots or fashion shows (though I spend plenty of time pouring over those as well). Most of these blogs focus on iconic style locations, from New York City to Milan and Paris [...]
