The Week in Pictures: 8.14.09
IT’S NOT HOW GOOD YOU ARE. IT’S HOW GOOD YOU WANT TO BE.
I’m all packed and ready to fly out to New York tonight for a stay at the Virgo Boarding House with my favorite pink-haired girl. If you want to hang out, have a project in mind that you think I’d be well suited for or know of any agencies that you think I should meet with in New York, please drop me an email at nubby @ nubbytwiglet.com!
This week has been full of preparations, many rounds of work, very little sleep and errand running. Thanks to Lee Z, I managed to get nearly everything crossed off my to-do list. And, thanks to my brother, our living room is almost redone. I use ‘redone’ loosely. I left him by himself for a few hours only to later notice that part of a wall had been ripped out and half of the ceiling was painted the wrong color. Oh, and last night we were pulling out old carpet and he knocked over a half gallon of white paint onto the front porch. We were both horrified but couldn’t stop laughing. Don’t hire him unless you want your house demolished!
First and foremost, I am now officially part of Team Atacoma. It’s like Gene Simmons mated with my Dries wedges. I love them so much!
This issue of Bazaar showed up in my mailbox a few days ago. The MJ tributes just keep coming and it’s all very awesome.
More bedroom details; black with pops of white paired with damask patterned curtains equals perfection. I don’t spend much time in my room because I’m always in my office working, but it really is everything I could have hoped for.
Graphic designer by day, candy striper by night? You be the judge!
On Thursday, I went furniture shopping with my brother and fell in love with this handmade black couch. A cool couch is notoriously hard to find and this one is totally out of our price range, but we’re already scheming on how to make it happen.
Thanks to the Coilhouse girls for sending issue 3 over! I just made my first ever magazine masthead! Pretty exciting stuff.
Waiting for a meeting to start, I had the best hot cocoa over at Tiny’s. So soooo good. Go there and order one.
How was your week?

Dude, you inspire me all the time! How was my week…. well to add to the quote, the good times were rad and the bad times affirmed that
“Gene Simmons mated with my Dries wedges” You are totaly off your rocker!! 
So funny!
amazing photos. LOVE the acne wedges!
MORE LIKE CANDY STRIPPER, AMIRITE?!?!?! Hahahaha. Congratulations on the masthead, I’m so proud of you! I can’t wait to see you! P.S. Dinner with Jazzi & Molly tomorrow night, wooo wooooooooooooo!
Good hot drinks can totally make my day! If you start the day off with a cup of hot, strong tea everything will be ok.
What lip product are you wearing in the photo with the striped dress? It’s gorgeous!
“If you aren’t busy living, you’re busy dying.”
I love that.
So true.
See you in a month!
…and my birthday’s August 21st.
Ohh the furniture shot has me lingering for a vintage seater for my own living room.. Luv the red lip! striking!
Help from Nubby (or any other Portlanders!)
I’m going to be in Portland for a few days, and am looking for places to shop, eat and see! Any reccomendations, or know any good online guides?
how is that paul arden book? the title is intriguing & seems like something i’d love to read and learn a lot from.
in new york – you lucky girl! lovely pictures. coffee looks fabulous
AND i loved that issue of Bazaar btw!
I’ve always loved that ceramic milk carton. I might have to track one down for myself. Also love the couch and hope your scheming is successful.
those shoes
never before have i wished i had stronger ankles than i do right now.
Ah! How exciting to be in the Coilhouse credits!
That…has to be the largest mug of delicious chocolately drink I have EVER seen! So jealous!
Heads up: the new GQ has 1983 Michael Jackson on the cover. Didn’t get to see the article, but saw the mag on the rack and thought you needed to know.
Your bedroom is a dream ~ my boyfriend says we can paint our bedroom black & I’m stoked!
I wanna have that Paul Arden book, I’ve already have the Whatever you think, Think the opposite and I read on the back that he had another book. I wonder how interesting it is but I still can’t find it in the book stores near by. Is it any better than the Whatever you think, Think the opposite?
Love your blog and immediately link it on mine :]
Your house and decor is wonderful!
I also like your Samsung phone. What make of phone is it?
