I love discovering smaller shoe designers. Diana Broussard worked for Calvin Klein, Christian Dior and Gucci before starting her own line in 2001. I’m working on breaking in these heels; it’s hard to tell, but the entire bottom of the shoe is carved out of a dark wood. Since there’s no flexibility, they take awhile [...]
I’m still hangin’ out in the sunny desert and loving it. As you can see, the novelty of taking pictures next to really tall cactuses (or cacti) hasn’t quite worn off yet! What I wore: Dress, H&M Jacket, Aryn K. Tights, Forever 21 Watch, Nixon Boots, Chloe Purse, Miu Miu
Fornasetti is by far one of my favorite designers of plates and furnishings. Sculptor and painter Piero Fornasetti lived mostly in Milan and created an astonishing 11,000 items during his lifetime. His plate designs are probably the most famous part of the Fornasetti empire. Nearly all of them have an eerily similar appearance. The face [...]
Hello from sunny Phoenix! Wish you were here! I’ve been doing a little after Christmas shopping and soaking up the sun. I’ve had my Chloe boots for a few weeks, but this is the first time I’ve gotten to wear them since we had two solid weeks of snow and ice in Portland! What I [...]

Since the year is almost up, I’ve been giving some thought to my goals for 2009. It’s been a bit harder to define what I’d like to accomplish in the new year because I crossed off some pretty big things in 2008. I graduated with my second degree, landed my dream job, bought loads of [...]
♥ Blue, blue, I love you. (This one includes two of my idols, Michael Jackson & Mr. T!) + The Fashion Notebook set on Flickr.
A week later, the snowstorm continues! Portland never ever gets hit this hard. There’s now a thick layer of ice settled on top of the snow. It really is a winter wonderland! What I wore: Zipper coat, Halogen Beret, Forever 21 Scarf, Vintage Pants, Target Boots, John Fluevog Gloves, GAP Purse, Miu Miu
