Saturday, September 27th, 2008I picked up this sweater dress in my all-time favorite color two weeks ago at H&M in New York. It’s comfortable, cozy and the simple shape makes it fun to accessorize!

The Week in Pictures: 9.26.08 Vegas Edition!!!
Saturday, September 27th, 2008My week was pretty monumental. It’s hard to believe, but spending four days in Vegas changed my life for the better (and didn’t require the cliché vices of gambling, hookers or excessive drinking to be off the charts!)
Gala Darling just made this video of our time in Vegas and it’s pretty awesome! It sums up […]
Link Love: 9.25.08
Thursday, September 25th, 20081. Marilyn Monroe kept her life locked away inside two filing cabinets that have been hidden from the world for nearly four decades. Photographer Mark Anderson began an epic two-year project of documenting the contents and here’s what he found.

The Power of Personal Branding
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Pause for a moment and consider the following:
Are you a brand?
Would you like to be a brand?
WHAT IS PERSONAL BRANDING?

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008Stina is an illustrator based in Stockholm, Sweden. Her organic, saturated use of watercolors, acrylics and ink have won her a client list including Coca Cola, Nike, Target, Nylon and Harper’s Bazaar.

What I Wore: 9.21.08
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008On our last night in Vegas, with the long hours of the inspiring Blogworld Expo behind us, Gala and I decided that we needed outfit photos in front of a hotel pool. Except, it was closed!
We made a pact that we were going to push through the doors anyway, tripod and all, even if it […]

Black & White Graphic Insight: The Handshake

The Handshake, 2008
Collage, ink and resin on wood
5 x 7 inches
For every series, I make a conscious decision to make a handful of smaller scale, more affordable pieces that are in line with the overall theme. I’ve always felt that art should be accessible and because if this, if someone cannot afford […]
The Week in Pictures: 9.19.08
Friday, September 19th, 2008I spent most of my week in New York holed up in the Virgo Boarding House with Gala Darling and our gracious tattooed host. In the midst of distractions including prosthetic limbs, books about serial killers, a variety of skulls and antique wheelchairs, we managed to get a surprising amount of work done.
Our nightly routine […]
What I Wore: 9.17.08
Thursday, September 18th, 2008I’ve been hanging out in the picture-perfect storybook version of America all week with Gala Darling. It’s quite surreal; when not wandering the streets of Manhattan, we split our days between lounging on a massive red velvet couch and a porch swing, blogging until our eyes bleed.
I wore:
Dress, H&M
Tunic, Urban Outfitters
Leggings, Forever 21
Boots, Dries Van Noten
Purse, […]

After we’d returned from the Central Park Extravaganza, Gala and I invited some friends including ladybloggers Star, Gilda and Marie back to our room at the Hotel on Rivington. We soon found out that Marie had snuck along a little something extra in her bag…a corn suit!
I’d […]
The Virgo Birthday Extravaganza: 2008
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Gala Darling and I did our joint birthday celebration / union in Central Park’s Strawberry Fields on Saturday afternoon and it was absolutely magical! I flew to New York overnight without any time to adjust (or sleep) beforehand so it felt very surreal as I ran around the city doing pre-party errands with Star, Marie […]

The Week in Pictures: 9/12/08
Friday, September 12th, 2008I haven’t had a chance to do much of anything this week except enjoy little bits of the last wave of Summer, pack, work and prepare for my epic New York journey (I leave at midnight!)
Packing nubby-style is pretty easy. Start with a stack of dresses. Add in some black shirts, tunics and leggings, a few […]
