cactus

really.  really.  excited about this weekend.

ben and I are flying into long beach, renting a car and heading east to the desert city, Palm Springs.

There's going to be lots of sun, lots of cocktails -booze, lots of dancing and most importantly, lots of fun.

we might even get to go to this special festival called coachella.  heard of it?

 

Myrrh Jewelry.

Pretty.

Their lookbook 12' was shot in Palm Springs, check it. /_/

this is Ace Hotel's diner near the lobby.  it used to be an old Denny's.  last time I was in Palm Springs, it was two years ago, we ate breakfast here and guess who was sitting right next to us?  THOM YORKE.  and hmm...ironically, guess who is headlining this year, RADIOHEAD

ANTHEM Lagoon Party 2010 from TIGER TIGER on Vimeo.

flower power

would like to have industrial shelving like this in my closet.

inside the home of fashion designer, Alex Hercovitch.

I have this exact garden table set.  It was a hand me down from ben's grandmother pappas, still in it's original green color, but I like how Lucy painted her's red.  

The handmade glasshouse is wonderful as well.  It seems like she collected miscellaneous reclaimed windows and arranged them into this unique looking backyard hut, I love it.

currently obsessed with pattern on pattern, mismatched, and nineties.  photographer and good friend, will miller and I played in the studio again.  here is the lovely Damaris dressed in floral from head to toe.  pretty and static. subdued, but fun.

nineties

 

 .

I miss the 90's.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

 

flannel, note passing, telephone calls, cigarettes, scrunchies, dyed hair, concerts, crowd surfing, recklessness, the 90's ruled and went by way too fast.  RIP 90's.

I've been kind of wanting a kitty.  A white kitty.  And if I can teach it how to do this, I think I want one of these little guys even more so!

Had a lazy weekend (see above), but it was plentiful and relaxing.  Now back at the office at full attack.

Next weekend, we might say hi to Portland, will find out later this week...keep your fingers crossed!

 The snow is now melting.  Oh, that was fun though.  It is very slushy now and RAINY.  This weekend should be fun though, last minute sledding, the market, some running around the neighborhood, maybe some hot yoga and possibly the hot springs with some friends...I also want to be spending some time in the studio.   I've been looking at Marimekko NONSTOP.  It's fresh.  I'm really needing to get something, that Kuma tunic above is simply lovely.

 Nothing better than clean, fresh smelling linen.

love. love. loveeee how this image speaks about the space of this room.  It's pretty rare to find rooms like this, where you step down into your bedroom, the floor feels light and the room feels airy.  Very refreshing.  Breathable.

 What do you think about the transparency of this space?  I'd feel a little exposed, yeah?

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.
