Tuesday, December 30th, 2008I 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 […]

What I Wore: 12.28.08

What I wore:
Dress, H&M
Jacket, Aryn K.
Tights, Forever 21
Watch, Nixon
Boots, Chloe
Purse, Miu Miu

Fornasetti
Monday, December 29th, 2008Fornasetti 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 featured on […]
What I Wore: 12.27.08
Saturday, December 27th, 2008Hello 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 wore:
Dress, Forever […]
The Week in Pictures: 12.26.08
Friday, December 26th, 2008The snow kept falling…and falling…and falling! This is the most snow that we’ve had in Portland in more than 40 years! It was still snowing yesterday while I was sitting at the airport.
I am completely dedicated to my trusty white boots! They’ve kept me amazingly dry, especially since I had to trek to the post office […]

2009 Goals
Wednesday, December 24th, 2008Since 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 […]

Moleskine Helvetica Edition!
Sunday, December 21st, 2008Behold the most perfect Moleskine in existence! Most of you know about my infatuation with Moleskines and Helvetica. When I found out that the two had been merged into one piece of perfection, I immediately wanted one! Fellow reader Lauryn just answered my wishes and sent one over! Amazing.
These limited edition Moleskines were produced by the […]
What I Wore: 12.20.08
Saturday, December 20th, 2008I ventured out earlier today to take these pictures and it was painfully cold! We’re in the midst of a crazy storm here in Portland. These pictures don’t show the half of it, but there have been huge winds coming through with icy bits of snow blowing everywhere. I live on a busy road […]
The Week in Pictures: 12.19.08
Friday, December 19th, 2008When it snows, I have the best footprints around! I got custom Vibram treads put on these boots back in 2005 by my favorite NYC cobbler and they have served me well!
ARCTIC BLAST 2008!!! (according to the local news stations) has been fun. Portland normally doesn’t get snow before Christmas. And, since I’ll be spending the […]
Tools Of The Trade: Fliqlo Screensaver
Thursday, December 18th, 2008I’m sure that most of you already know about the Fliqlo screensaver, but in case you don’t, it’s a modernist’s dream. Fliqlo turns your desktop into an accurate, oversized clock and best of all, it’s available for both Mac and PC users!

Ask Nubby #17: The Short and Sweet Edition #2
Wednesday, December 17th, 20081. When and how did you start blogging?
I started my first blog on Livejournal in 2001. It was really beneficial to blog informally for a few years and I met a ton of awesome people on there (including Star and Gala!) Keeping that blog helped me figure out what I liked to write about and it […]

Laser-Etched Presentation Box
Monday, December 15th, 2008A few months ago, I worked on a type layout that was later laser-etched into a wood presentation box for a Nemo client. It’s still one of my favorite jobs to date. I love the simplicity, the crisp lines and the way the letters look like they’re from an old printing press.

What I Wore: 12.14.08
Sunday, December 14th, 2008This set of pictures is a little different…it doesn’t snow in Portland very often, but it came down in buckets today! My two aunts and I had planned a shopping trip to Downtown Portland weeks in advance and we weren’t about to let a massive storm stop us!
All morning on the news, there were shots […]
