Last night, I went out to The Matador with a bunch of folks including Mistina and Eliza. I was so excited to spot an original black and white photobooth- there’s something so classic about the photo strips that come out of these! I forgot that the strips come out sopping wet and take awhile [...]
There’s nothing worse than a cluttered office! I’ll be the first to admit, I’m a neat-freak Virgo. While recently perusing the organization department of the new IKEA in Portland in search of magazine files, I came across a five-pack of these by FLYT for $2.99. Since I was taking public transportation to get home, their [...]
I was on the hunt for some remaining Halloween costume gear today when I found a huge stash of vintage marching band jackets. (See above– I feel a combination of super mod with a dash of Michael Jackson when I wear it!) Anyway, I knew my brother would want one, but I was in [...]
Deep reds- yum! I like the overall mix of this page; 80s Bon Jovi + Moschino + my fave Swatch watch! The Fashion Notebook set on Flickr is growing… Tweet This Post

Before computers became commonplace, there was the french curve. Once a graphic designer’s staple, they’re now a slight novelty. A french curve is a template used in drafting and typography to create smooth curves- this is how typographers got the lines so perfect on hand-drawn letters and logos back in the day. I never use [...]
One of my favorite stores in New York City, FISHS EDDY on 19th and Broadway specializes in “American sturdyware,” dishware from diners and restaurants across the country as well as new lines from various designers. I have collected vintage dishes for years; when I recently visited, this place was a haven! I bought some [...]
Two weeks ago (I’m so behind!), I briefly went out to First Thursday, Portland’s monthly artwalk. I only had time to check out two shows- the work below was at the Portland Art Center and so amazing in person. I didn’t get the artist’s name but there were layers of intricately cut pieces of wood on [...]
