One of my favorite brands is having a sale! I’m eyeing a new wallet! But hurry, it ends tonight @ midnight. shop now

I am just loving my new piperlime purchase. These pumps are perfect for fall and I love the neutrality of an animal print. That might sound crazy, but i feel like you can wear them with anything! [and they’re on sale!] These little lovelies were an off broadway find and I just adore them!Continue reading “Fall Footware”

Embossing

I love the uniqueness of some homemade stationary! When I saw this kiss stamp at my favorite paper store, I knew just what I wanted to do with it! The key to good stationary is the quality of the paper; so I also picked up some flat cards and my favorite “paper bag” brown envelopeContinue reading “Embossing”

Smooth Like Honey

On my way back from Italy (flying solo) I had the option to upgrade to a higher class ticket for a fraction of the price. With 10 hours staring me in the face, I did it. Once on the plane, they give you a little gift bag of goodies to get you through the flight.Continue reading “Smooth Like Honey”

Agate Gold Leaf Coasters

I’ve been seeing coasters like this around on various blogs and home sites, but they cost a pretty-penny (like this set of two for $140- get outta here). I’ve heard about gold leafing, seen various sets etc. while perusing the craft store aisles, but never tried it before. Amazon has lots of options for agateContinue reading “Agate Gold Leaf Coasters”

Almond Macadamia Milk

I was searching the web for almond milk recipes and cameContinue reading “Almond Macadamia Milk”

He’s an artist, and an incredibly innovative, idea-driven, and talented one at that. example: he loves climbing trees, so he had this thought to rig a jumpsuit with lights and climb a tree, wearing illuminated said jumpsuit, while capturing it with a long exposure shot. The result was this:Continue reading “Tipsy Tuesday: Farewell Todd edition”

keepin it 100

Sooooo, likeeeee, heeeey….. I’ve been very absent this month. I wish I could say it’s going to pick up at some point, that I’ll actually have time to put all my lovely little blog ideas, photos and life documentation together, but man– my schedule is packed. Which is good, right? because I’m actually living myContinue reading “keepin it 100”

untitled.

I. am. freaking. exhausted. Clearly, from above pictured Z, he can relate. I’ve just been so cray cray busy. I’ve got a back long of posts and ideas to write and finish. But it seems I just haven’t had time to get much of anything outside of my career-expansion done. the lack of creativityContinue reading “untitled.”

Forecastle

https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/Yhg-kycwLnE&source=uds I. just. can’t. get. enough. We went to the amazing Forecastle Festival two weekends ago, and man was it a good time! There were so many great bands, the weather was mostly nice, and we got to share time with sweet friends, among the booze, and tunes. I think we may make it aContinue reading “Forecastle”
