Although I was born in Portland, I grew up in the suburbs, and didn’t get to live in the city proper until after college. One day I saw a lovely, lacy fern and bought it for my little studio ap...
On Friday I put a little extra time into my hair and makeup in preparation for a very important event: taking a new driver’s license photo. My last one was terrible, and if you get a bad pictur...
Nearly everyone has colors that they favor more than others (for a lot of people it’s black, which still counts as a color). But most people also have colors that they never wear. For me one of...
Today I thought I’d share some photos of what I’ve been up to lately. We stopped by Schoolhouse Electric the other day, mainly because I’d heard so much about it online and just wan...
As promised, here’s another use I found for the turquoise spikes/spears I used for this necklace. I’m not sure what else to do with them, but I have a feeling this won’t be the last...
I’ve been wanting some turquoise spears for a while, and in fact I’ve had some favorited on Etsy, but when I saw these at a big craft store the other day I couldn’t resist. Turns ou...
In order to pick out street style photos for these weekly round-ups, I subscribe to a couple dozen street style blogs in Google Reader (not all of them update every week). As I scroll through the pho...
If you ask me, one of the best things about a new season is the new shoes. So I tackled the arduous task of finding some fun spring/summer shoes for this edition of Friday Favorites. I certainly woul...
I’m kind of secretly looking forward to running out of blush so I have an excuse to make blush from beets. Aren’t these doodled shoes cute? If I had any drawing talent, I’d be all o...
I’m loving these images by photographer Benajamin Kanarek from Vogue Portugal so much. Aren’t the colors just amazing? Via Design for Mankind.

It’s been a long time since I shared any thrift scores, so I thought I’d share a few things I found lately. For a while I wasn’t thrifting at all, but when we moved into a new house...
Last week after we moved into the house we’re renting I was finally able to unpack some of my clothes and accessories that had been in boxes since December. I unearthed lots of good stuff, incl...
1. Florals and studs I never would have thought to put the two together, but now that I’ve seen it I think it’s a fabulous idea. 2. Pearl studded collar If you’re sick of the metal ...
These days floppy discs are more useful as paperweights than for actually storing data. Artist Nick Gentry paints striking portraits using this outdated techno-trash as his canvas. Maybe floppy discs...
Yikes, where has this week gone? I’ve been so busy with moving that I haven’t had much time or energy to post. I’m starting this week off right with an edition of Sunday Street Styl...
When I first saw these photos of work by artist Baptiste Bebombourg, I couldn’t tell exactly what was going on. Was it a flood, or maybe ice? Turns out it’s an art installation featuring ...
Sorry for such a late post today. We found out that we could move into our new place a couple of days early, so I spent a lot of today hauling boxes around. Moving sure is tiring! On the upside, thou...
1. I found some seed beads in lovely colors last week, and made another pair of beaded tassel earrings. (If you’d like to make your own, follow my tutorial. To make them more like this pair, us...
Next week we’ll be moving into a house in Portland, but we have hardly any furniture since we got rid of most it when we moved across the country at the end of the year. We’ll also have a...
I was trying to take photos of what I wore today, when I got photobombed. Little Miss Adventurous decided that she wanted to be in the photos, too. (Although she didn’t want to be held, clearly...
Create your own custom glitter nail polish with this tutorial from Kirsten of Studs and Pearls. This wooden chalkboard is super cute! I want to make one for my new place, if I can find the right slic...
I’m really blown away by these photos/animated gifs by Ignacio Torres. They’re beautiful even just as still images, but with the movement they’re just that much more amazing. Check ...
Getting this one posted just under the wire tonight due to a busy day, but I found such good material that I didn’t want to miss this week’s edition of my street style favorites. Top row:...
Today I decided to start a new Friday column, where I share five favorite things. This week it’s five pieces of beautiful jewelry from makers on Etsy. 1. This Blue azurite ring. I’m mesme...
After making my geometric print clutch last week, I decided it need a bit of color. So found a scrap of leather and made my pouch a bright leather tassel, inspired by the one on this bag. Though I us...
If you didn’t know better it would be easy to think that these are photos of jellyfish. Though many of the photos in this series look like ocean depths or alien landscapes, they’re actual...
Some interesting mixing of bright citrus-y colors with darker shades going on here. It looks great, plus it seems like a good way to get your eyes used to spring colors. Top row: The Locals, Dam Styl...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Lately several black-and-white geometric prints have caught my eye, so I decided to make a simple clutch version of my own. For this project I actually used my own tutorial, the one for...
On Sunday I had the pleasure of visiting Backtalk, a new shop in the Alberta arts district in Portland. It just opened up on April 1, and since I missed their grand opening, I stopped by to check it ...
