This week was busy for some good reasons and some bad. Good: My mom was in town from Phoenix to visit! We showed her around the Doug Fir, Jupiter Hotel, Saint Cupcake, various bakeries and more. She got to meet Rocky and try Joey’s famous Pumpkin Ale. And in bad news, my beloved grandpa was [...]

Photo by Zoetica Zoetica just posted her Disneyland photos over at ChinaShop and I couldn’t resist sharing this one; sequined ears and 3-D glasses from Captain EO — the highest of high fashion! A few items that are currently populating my desk: Forever 21 cross necklace, Moleskine Colour-a-Month planner, Nixon Time Teller P watch, and an [...]

The Travel Files: Part 01 I have returned from LA and now it’s time for the update I’ve been promising. The only trouble is where to start. These weren’t any ordinary four days — they were so action packed to the brim that I feel like I am in dire need of a vacation from [...]

01: Style Files My style direction for the season is aptly titled “I Am An Urban Warrior and I Just Survived The Apocalypse.” Not quite as catchy as Gossip Girl On Acid but it’ll work for now. I want my entire wardrobe to morph into layers of draped Rick Owens and All Saints but in [...]

This week, I inadvertently disappeared for a few days from the interwebs as more and more deadlines and real world commitments hit.

01 One of my biggest pet peeves are cheaply made shoes but when I was at Forever 21 this weekend, I spotted the Metallic Spirit Flats which are just what I need when I have to throw something on to walk Rocky around the ‘hood. In true form, they smell like stinky synthetic material (but [...]

Welcome to The Week in Pictures, a weekly column that features snapshots documenting my life as a designer and blogger living in Portland, Oregon. Thanks for reading! 01 Big upgrade alert! Over the weekend, my brother helped me move my West Elm bookcase from our all white room up the stairs to my office (of [...]

Welcome to The Week in Pictures! Today I woke up early and cleaned my office (above). Don’t be fooled — the rest of our house isn’t so prim and organized! 01 Last weekend I stopped by Buffalo Exchange and found this vintage Geiger sweater (from Austria). I am not normally much of a purple fan [...]

01 I’m enjoying sitting in the middle of rose gardens during lunch with a few friends. It’s my new favorite thing to do and so much nicer than eating in front of the computer! 02 And I’m learning to enjoy the art of…..relaxing. 03 Not amused, obviously. Rocky seems to be giving me the look [...]

01 The daily essentials include my gargantuan Miu Miu bag, an American Apparel cities bag to hold my laptop and a pair of miscellaneous black boots. 02 Sometimes surroundings are so perfectly orchestrated that you swear that you must be on a movie set. This car and 40s era gym just go together. 03 Joey’s [...]
