The Week in Pictures: 8.29.08
Friday, August 29th, 2008This week was shockingly action-packed; it included run-ins with strange donuts, extra hot sauce and airsoft guns!
Recently, Nemo has been working with Mountain Dew’s extreme sports and music festival, The Dew Tour. We were asked to come up with promotional ideas when one of our team members had an epiphany and summoned Portland’s Voodoo Donuts to […]
Link Love: 8.28.08
Thursday, August 28th, 20081. Smashing Magazine offers up 30 free high quality Wordpress themes!
2. Gala Darling just posted her birthday wishlist. Whip out that credit card and get shoppin’!
3. Camille is a fellow Oregonian with a perfect mix of high / low style that I love and was just featured in a NY Times Style Mag article.
4. The Daily News offers […]
Ask Nubby #11: How To Choose Niche Blog Topics
Thursday, August 28th, 2008I’m trying to start a blog for women my age and demographic (I’m twenty, live in Boston, am an English major, and care both about the plight of women in the Middle East and what color to paint my nails. Get what I’m saying?)
I want to provide something for smart, feminist-type girls who care about the […]
What I Wore: 8.26.08
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008This is what I’d wear if I was an urban schoolgirl!
Cardigan, Isaac for Target
Blouse, Forever 21
Ancient black jeans, Levi’s
Watch, Swatch
Wedge shoes, Dries Van Noten (they arrived yesterday!)
Purse, Miu Miu
And, some details! I love how these Dries are the same style as my gray ones but look so dramatically different. I’ve never had burgundy shoes before, but […]

What I Wore: 8.24.08
Monday, August 25th, 2008This is what I wore out to dinner with some old work cronies. The food and company were awesome!
Cardigan, Field Flowers (Anthropologie)
Dress, Forever 21
Tunic, LA Made
Leggings, Forever21
Watch, Swatch
Boots, Dries Van Noten
Purse, Miu Miu
People are always shocked by how heavy my purse is. Hey, I carry a lot of contraband around in there! Sometimes it gets to the […]
Fall 2008 Shoes: The New Wave
Sunday, August 24th, 2008Top: Prada, Marni, Viktor & Rolf. Bottom: YSL, Marni, Alexander McQueen.
The new crop of shoes that many designers paraded down the runways for the Fall 2008 RTW collections were outrageously high, super sculptural or a combination of both. While I love the wackiness (I’d throw on those Pradas to go to the grocery store, even) […]
The Secret Society of Lady Bloggers
Saturday, August 23rd, 2008A few days ago, this question (and the resulting commentary) popped up on Ask.Metafilter. I was considering not posting about in on here at all but a few things kept turning in my mind so I thought I’d add my two cents.
Personality-based blogging by females is nothing new. Pioneers of this movement like Heather Armstrong of […]
The Week in Pictures: 8.22.08
Friday, August 22nd, 2008Life has been exceptionally good lately. Gala (my Virgo soulmate) and I have been feverishly planning our joint birthday celebrations in Central Park on September 13th! Since we’re on opposite sides of the world at the moment (she’s in New Zealand & I’m in Oregon), there’s been a flurry of emails constantly flying, sometimes up […]
Designers of Distinction #1: Michael Engelmann
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008In the 1950s, graphic designer Michael Engelmann cemented his reputation as highly regarded poster designer with his use of simple images and sans serif typefaces. He presented his vision in a straightforward manner that never eclipsed the advertised product. His work was always crisp and even today, remains timeless.

What I Wore: 8.17.08
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008These are the only shorts that I own! I got my first pair of lederhosen at three years old when my parents returned from Europe in 1984. They were gray buckskin with red straps and heart-shaped pockets!
Lederhosen were always a staple in my family since I’m mostly of German and Austrian decent. We would visit the […]
Decor Notebook #1
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008Most of you know about my Fashion Notebook that’s a big collection of collaged fashion-related images spanning over 10 years.
Well, I’ve decided to start sharing its lesser-known counterpart, the Decor Notebook! Every Tuesday, I’ll post a new scan showing off the coolest interior design and objects. Enjoy!

Dries Van Noten Wedges
Monday, August 18th, 2008Last week I finally tracked down an incredibly hard to find pair of gray patent wedges from the Dries Van Noten Fall 2007 RTW collection. There’s no denying that they’re strange looking and it took me months of contemplation before I finally decided that they were a go.
Now, I feel silly for waiting so long! […]

The Week in Pictures: 8.15.08
Friday, August 15th, 2008Finally, I’ve had a chance to work on some new art. Hopefully I’ll have some pieces to share next week. Besides that, it’s the same grind of freelance; luckily, I adore all of my current clients!
My dad has the best taste in shoes! I hung out downtown last Friday with him and his girlfriend and couldn’t […]
Link Love: 8.14.08
Thursday, August 14th, 20081. Money and the Law of Attraction is an interesting look at what happens when you start becoming comfortable with the idea of having a lot of money.
Steve Pavlina says:
I know it may seem counterintuitive to aim to feel normal instead of excited when it comes to earning more money. The truth is that too much […]
Ask Nubby #10: The Art of Closet Organization!
Thursday, August 14th, 2008
A fellow reader recently proclaimed “How do you keep your living / working space(s) so organised and attractive??”
This is such a huge topic that I could go on for days about, so I decided to start with a singular area that many of us can use some help with…the closet!
When Lee and I moved into […]
