yo!

hello, monday.

it's been a week.

still series #4

This is my new handbag.  Has a gold zipper.  It's classic.  Not classy.  Classic.  

And suits me well considering my pops is an electrician.

.

ben came home the other day and said, "babe, I got you a new clutch"  I was

surprised that he knew what a clutch even meant- he knows I'm not super heavy into

purses, or "handbags" so when I heard that, I was completely shocked.

He hands me this new Klein Bag and I immediately FELL IN LOVE.

He knows me so well.

Speaking of bags, I'm liking these sculptural lunch bags.

Metsa Design

.

Gold Leather Brogues?  

I wonder if I can moonwalk in them.

Only, Marni.

...

New favorite Christmas movie?

Well, it's not exactly new, but check it-

Rare Exports

It's pretty terrific.

Oversized sewing thimbles.  Vito Nesta.

Table Light.  Iacoli & McAllister.

.

.

Seattle-based, Iacoli & McAllister are probably the first designers that I really felt have executed a

sharp design of these sophisticated, eventful chandelier-like lights, but now all of the sudden this type of

geometric lighting is hitting every design blog and not to mention, most of them are poorly designed.  

If I see any more of these, I'm going to go crazy.  And not in a good way. 

I need a bit more excitement.  It's like you eat too much of your favorite food and you can't eat anymore 

of it, or you'll get sick to your stomach.   same ordinary feeling.  

but this table light character.  he gets me going.  I want to draw a little face on it and watch 

it wobble walk around my living space.  and name it thub, or gabe.  

,

and diamonds?  what's up with diamonds?  why is Rihanna singing about diamonds?  

.

barf.

..

this can get bad, I should go now.  

Adios.

I went to this amazing fabric dying workshop last Wednesday held by the girls 

at Kaleidoscope Vision in Capital Hill.  It was fun-  looking forward to more local workshops/activities like these.

hola again.  happy end of august almost september/where the fuck has the time gone.

 Been working a lot.  A LOT.  

But been also finding time for last minute summer activities before this weather goes away.  

Camping, parties, love, fun.  Those last 3 things happen year around.

Oh, and I was introduced to Manwolfs.

And staying busy.  I got to meet Reynolds! 

Installation work by me, Blanca Martinez, and Megan Bingham with Madprops.

Emerica was at 35th North Skateshop the other day.  And yes I did go- not get a stupid autograph, but to make photo.  Old Skateboarder crush---Andrew Reynolds is considered a legend to little kids these days.

And got to style an amazing event put on by Slideluck, a non-profit organization that throws these awesome potluck dinner parties/slideshow to show the work of many talented photographers.  Over 250 people showed up!  Held at Voda Studios this year, the event was a complete success.  

Lots of great work, people & good vibes.  Thanks, David Wentworth for putting on a great show.
Here are some photos of the decor we did:

Landing in Long Beach last week.  Went on a mini-trip to see our family!

  Man, I miss that dirty California weather already.

 Camping with friends-  Lake Wenatchee, Washington- Beautiful spot.

 our men made that teepee- isn't it legit?  

They're rugged and manly.

 

Til' next time!  Au Revoir!

it's been 1 month, I'm sorry

No.6 Woven New Huarache clog sandal. Elevated.  Comfort.  Summer-licious.  I want now.

Speaking of shoes- Totokaelo (snapshot of store above) just opened up there new storefront in Capitol Hill.  They were located in Belltown before, but the new layout is pretty sharp- extremely spacious, I walked in there and thought I had just entered a spaceship.  I first noticed their shoe display, there seems to be this trend going on... Another semi-new shop located in the same neighborhood, Kaledoscopic Vision has a very similar-almost identical shoe display-although, I have to say they have been open a bit longer and let me tell you, those girls know how to party!  They were servin up the tequila on cinco de mayo- and collecting a random, song-request...it was fantastic + the shop is pretty awesome, lots of treasures in there.  Capitol Hill was in need of a place like this- affordable vintage-finds instead of walking into Value Village restraining yourself from the horrible b.o. smell.  This type of shoe-shop display, contemporary, clinical, fictive world-inspired retail interior has been around for a while.  Remember, contemporary art photographer, Andreas Gursky's, Prada I in 1996?  Check it, below.

I love love love- the eyeliner on the outside of your bottom lashline as oppose to the inside of your lashline.  oh, her hair is pretty legit too.

snowflakes

Seattle has snow!  I got to spend a lovely snow day yesterday with my Ben...we made snowmen and played in the snow.  It was very nice.  It has gotten a bit icy though, which makes it difficult to drive. A lot of power outages, trees falling as well, stay safe people.  On the bright side, it's been actually kind of nice to see people walking a lot rather than driving.  I'd much rather walk than drive.

I'm so lucky to be working with such lovely kids in the studio.  This little lady here in particular is my favorite.  Her name is Zoe.  And she is a doll.  I styled the brand, Right Bank Babies on her about a week ago, it is live up on Zulily today...great product and the quality is outstanding.

I missed you.



It was a long, whimsical trip. Adventurus.


And we made it. To our new home. Seattle.

Revealing one story at a time, this has been such a beautiful trip for the both of us. From remembering moments with the ones you love to sharing new moments with the others you love. I saw many things. Many things that I didn't know I was going to see. It was and still is exciting.

Being comfortable is so easy and there is nothing wrong with being at ease, but not knowing what there is out there should be inspiring and is, to me at least. To have a spirit of eagerness is rewarding. So, hi! I'm back, cheers to life !
