Hello, Sunshine.
Sunday, February 28th, 2010Yellow and I normally don’t get along. I don’t think I’ve owned anything yellow until a week ago when these shoes showed up. When I want to wear something bright and cheery, I stick to white. But, I am all about embracing change. When I first spotted these heels, I had the typical reaction that […]
The Week in Pictures: 2.26.10
Friday, February 26th, 2010It’s been two weeks since I’ve had a chance to do a Week in Pictures update but a lot has happened in that time and I promise it’s worth the wait! The weather in Portland has been remarkably good. And, I’ve taken an absurd amount of photo booth pictures.
Over the weekend, Joey and I stopped […]
Link Love: 2.25.10
Thursday, February 25th, 2010• In A Model’s Prospects: Slim and None, model Coco Rocha boldly asserts “I don’t do nudes, I don’t do semi-nudes, I don’t do cigarette shots.” And she says, “Everybody knows that, in general, a basketball player needs to be tall and a fashion model needs to be skinny, but how skinny is too skinny?” […]
Nixon Time Teller P Watch
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
It must be Watch Week around here. On Monday, I was waxing poetic about Swatch and today, it’s Nixon!
Last month, I was standing around at Nemo when I looked down at one of the producer’s arms (Hi, Megan!) and noticed this watch. Quite dramatically, I reached for it and demanded to know where she got it. […]

Swatch Colour Codes and POP Magazine Collaboration
Sunday, February 21st, 2010A few months ago, I was contacted by POP Magazine and asked to participate in a special contest. Swatch, the iconic brand of watches that originally launched in 1983 (and have gone on to become the most successful wristwatch of all time) is going back to its roots by launching a series of monochromatic plastic […]
What I Wore: 2.16.10 // Gray Day
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010It’s been another one of those crazy busy deadline-inducing weeks but I managed to sneak away to the white room for five minutes to get some photos of my new Jeffrey Campbell Mary Roks wedges. Thanks to Joey for taking the photos. I am looking away in a few because in the middle of photo […]

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Sunday, February 14th, 2010I hope all of you are having a great Valentine’s Day! I celebrated early last night since I have a full plate of freelance to get through today and this is what I wore out. It’s a vintage wool dress that I found on Ebay years ago and I wore the same thing last year […]

The Week in Pictures: 2.12.10
Friday, February 12th, 2010Nike Adventures with Auntie Nubs. On Monday, Auntie Nubs made the voyage out to the Nike Campus to join me for lunch. She always brings out the worst in me (probably because she isn’t my mom, so she thinks everything is funny). We had a total blast as always. Can I just say that […]
Link Love
Friday, February 12th, 2010
• There really are no words. Fashion designer Alexander McQueen has committed suicide.
• Jason Santa Maria shares his list of recommended design books. I love how he set up the post, actually showing the stack of books versus just making a list.
• Heidi Montag is plastic surgery obsessed and Newsweek’s Eleven things that deeply disturb us about […]

The Week in Pictures: 2.5.10
Friday, February 5th, 2010Just Do It. I had a super awesome week working with a design team out at Nike. By day four, I was itching to get my security badge and made the trek to the other side of the campus in the rain. I arrived only to be told that the badge making machine was […]
Ask Nubby #25: Managing Multiple Projects & Staying Organized
Thursday, February 4th, 2010To be honest, there is no easy way to manage multiple projects that are overlapping. It doesn’t matter who you are; keeping up with four to six projects at a time is a challenge.
During a normal week, I may be working on up to six different jobs with my personal clients and they […]
The Typofiles #50: Black Devil Disco Club by Non-Format
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010The Strange New World Of Bernard Fevre by Black Devil Disco Club is quite possibly my favorite album packaging of all time. Non-Format is based in Oslo, Norway and Minneapolis, USA and I love pretty much everything they put out. You can view all of The Typofiles on Flickr here.
