Welcome to The Week in Pictures! I was having some major site issues over the last few days but thanks to the web ninjas known as Star and John C. Worsley, everything should be smooth sailing!

I have the best friends – Kristin Cofer always sends me the cutest little packages. This one came complete with a gorgeous vintage dress and customized letterhead. Adore her.

It cracks me up that there’s always a Mystery Machine parked right around the corner from my house. Scoobydoobydoooooooo! Haha.

Joey and I wanted to go out the other night but our local bar didn’t allow drinks outside at the picnic tables so we waltzed in with Rocky. Nobody seemed to care. It was his first time at a bar but don’t fret…he’s 21 in dog years!

Type and lips and studs, oh my! These are a few of my favorite things. I’m not big on fancy jewelry at all. I prefer red, black and white along with piles of acrylic.

Last Friday, I volunteered to do portfolio reviews at PNCA and it was an enlightening experience in part because it was my first time sitting on the other side of the table since graduating two years ago. I distinctly remember what it was like and how nervous I was. I never want to be the Simon Cowell of portfolio reviews – design is so personal and while it’s important to be honest, staying constructive and providing advice that is legitimately helpful goes a long way.

I adore the signs in my neighborhood.

I saw the latest issue of O yesterday while in line at the grocery store and thought, “Ah, why the hell not?” Someone gave me a copy probably 8 years ago and it had some of the cleanest, most crisp editorial design at the time. Inspiration is lurking everywhere! The mag and these shoes paired together practically scream “SPRING!”

Readers, do you have any awesome weekend plans?

Until next week,
