I’m currently being harassed by one very twacky border collie because the sun is out and she knows exactly what that means. Play time. She is one of the most intelligent creatures I’ve ever met, and sometimes that can be the most annoying thing about her. Because she really does know that sunshine means we will be outside. It’s not raining and as soon as she’s up in the morning and had her breakfast, she goes about terrorizing the house until everyone is up.…
Before I had LASIK done, Warby Parker was where I went to order frames. Their philosophy of give one pair of glasses for every pair sold resonated with me but also the style (and price point) attracted me to the brand as well. The frames are modern and designed well. And, well, I’m a designer, so I’m immediately drawn to well-designed items. Warby Parker isn’t just for prescription eyewear though, they have sunglasses for all, and their new collection, Quintessential launches today, March 6th.…
Can I just say, I’m glad February is over? The past three months have been frustrating for me due to some health issues and being on antibiotic for most of that time, and that honestly wrecks havoc on your body, and for me with that specific medication, was one of the worst experiences. You’re already feeling terrible and then add a long list of antibiotic side effects to make you feel even worse.…
I’m not one for mainstream jewelry, it’s not that I don’t like it, there are some delicate pieces that I occasionally find that I like, but I really love pieces that stand out and say something about me.…
Ever since the Barbie x Missguided collection dropped months ago, I’ve been obsessed. I loved loved loved Barbie growing up. So of course I pounced on some items out of nostalgic reasons and my favorite item has to be this Barbie sweatshirt dress.…
I’ve always wanted to wear blazers, but every time I put one on and look in the mirror, it just doesn’t quite feel right. Maybe it just feels too formal or too preppy, but every time I’ve bought one, it’s ended up in the donation bin or given to a friend.…
I love unique pieces of jewelry. Usually I find my favorite pieces in small independant vintage shops, like this ankh necklace. I found it at small little shop in Spokane called Veda Lux. I was visiting my family and got to spend the afternoon with my friend Liz.…
I’m getting very bored with winter. A few days ago it was sunny and in the mid-50s here in the Seattle area and it felt delightfully like spring. On an excursion after brunch, my partner and I stopped at Home Depot and I beelined straight for the seeds (I’m very anxious to start a garden), and upon checking the seed packets discovered everything should be planted in May around here. Hmph. Foiled for the time being and a nice reminder that it is still January. But, let’s move on and talk about these velvet palazzo pants.…
The funny thing about being an adult is seeing things I loved when I was in grade school suddenly make a comeback and having the money to buy those things.…
Sometimes when my partner and I go out to brunch, I like to dress up. Sometimes I get too comfortable at work, surrounded by engineers, all in t-shirts and jeans and I forget I have a closet full of things I love to wear.…
