I am a student studying architecture & graphic design, living in overcast Portland, Oregon. I believe in design that is frank, finding beauty in the mundane, touches of whimsy and cups of tea at all times of day. I love illustration, design, fashion, teacups, documentaries, classic literature and stationary to name a few things.

Its sort of funny but for my digital illustration class, were being required to illustrate our wardrobes for a week–which is something Ive been wanting to experiment with anyway. Looking for illustra...

topographers

Okay. Ive known this for about a week now, but now I definitely have to make the confession: Im quitting the 30 for 30. I feel like an idiot, since a blog is such a public thing. I mentioned in a pos...

9 of 30: polka dots are a solid

I loved this outfit. It embodies a lot of things that I love: polka dots, florals, subtle color combinations, my pretty wedges and the fact that I wore it out on a date. AND took the pictures at one ...

6 of 30: loss of momentum

You know? I was originally going to start out this blog post with another round of Im sorries: for lack of blog posts, for lack of comments, for lack of activity in the blogging world. But no, this i...

2 of 30: we get on

For some reason, this first outfit was a little daunting, since it feels like I have a lot of freedom and choice. I also didnt want to wear something super awesome, since I did my own pictures today....

To Whom it May Concern

First off, my grandma took these photos while she was in town visiting. Each and every one is very very staged. I had to deal with her directing the photo shoot: "smile with teeth" "your ...

Anniversary + I won something!

Weve Got Everything

I wore a very formulaic outfit yesterday. But I liked all of the pieces that made it up, so I dont particularly care. Oregon is still being indecisive about weather, so I would have liked to wear sho...
