So here we are, halfway through February already! The beginning of the year feels so far away, when I was sipping cocktails in sunny Kona & soaking up all the sun I could get. But that seems ages away & is not why I’m posting today. Lately I’ve been feeling fierce. Is it the undercut I finally let my hair stylist do? I do feel like a motherfreaking Shield Maiden with it, and I’ve been binging on the TV show Vikings, so I would venture to guess yes, it is the undercut. But with a fierce haircut must come fierce accessories, and I’ve been drooling over chunky, arm engulfing cuff bracelets. Yes! I’m petite & small, but I love fat, chunky jewelry and these cuffs I’ve been looking at are literally ARMor (get it? I’m funny, I swear.) The holy grail (my holy grail anyway) of these pieces is the Pamela Love Pentagram bracelet. One way or another I will get it at some point during this year. I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s geometrically beautiful. I need it. But for now I’m building my collection with some fun vintage pieces I found on eBay, which I’ll share when…

Where did 2013 go? Seriously, I’ve failed pretty miserably at blogging this year, but I’ve been in my own quarter-life crisis mode trying to get it all figured out. It’s not all figured out but I’m feeling better than I was a year ago. I’ve been so busy with a move (no more commute!) and work – always work! It’s a good thing I love what I do. But I am working on posting more regularly, and for the first time in a long time I started sketching again. I still got it. Amazing what a little focus will do. And with that… It’s already been more than 2 months since my vacation in Newport Beach & Las Vegas. And another one is fast approaching! When I take a vacation somewhere in the U.S. I’ve been grouping multiple cities into one trip. Last year was L.A. & Chicago. This year was Newport Beach (for a wedding) followed by Las Vegas. Newport Beach & our dear friend’s wedding was beautiful. It was on a boat & I’m so glad we made the trip to share this day with them. Their family & friends were SO welcoming & kind. I left feeling…
This will be short as I’m currently 35,000 feet in the air on my way to Chicago. Los Angeles fashion week with Lina Zeineddine and Bri Seeley was an absolute blast. I met so many new people in the fashion industry. It’s awesome to have the connections I have so that I’m able to be behind the scenes and experience what I experienced this week. Here’s a quick photo from the first night we attended. A street style blogger took my picture, I’m hoping it will be put up on his blog. It’s so fun to have people ask to take your picture out of all the people in the crowd. I have a ton of photos to upload when I get back to Seattle on Sunday. I witnessed some amazing collections and really felt inspired. I felt LA fashion week had some innovative moments that left a lasting impact on me. I hope I can take this inspiration back to my job as a graphic designer. Onto Chicago now, it’s going to be a 30-40 degree drop in temperature. Oh boy. This will be interesting.…
These babies are flying off Solestruck.com’s virtual shelf. If I could only buy one pair of shoes the rest of the year, these would be them. Sometimes you just have to hold off..and hope your amazing awesome boyfriend knows these are on your wishlist 😉…
