daytrip: edison, wa

A few more from our recent day trip up north, a stop in charming Edison, WA. The whole town is about two blocks wide, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in quirky charm. I especially loved the shop with the doll illustration window pane, which had... Continue reading

morning in the flowers

The other weekend, an early Saturday morning found us up in the tulip fields. Most of the vast fields had already been cut, but these beauties were still standing tall. The colors were incredible, these photos can't even begin to touch their vibrancy. Beautiful (and more than a little inspiring... Continue reading

the series of ideal men: anthony bourdain

Of course Anthony Bourdain would show up in this series sooner or later. I love the man. I love what he writes, I love what he says about food and culture on whatever food + travel mashup TV show he's currently running around on, hey, the guy can do (almost)... Continue reading

skincare wishlist, spring edition

Let's keep this skincare train rollin, shall we? As we all know, I'm a full-blown beauty blogger video addict. And as it happens, almost all of the bloggers I watch are in the UK. And then there's Caroline Hirons. The woman flat-out knows her skincare. Seriously, watch this. While the... Continue reading

s.w. basics: it's love

Back in March, I wrote all about my love for S.W. Basics of Brooklyn's bold branding and their super-duper all-natural ethos (yep, super-duper all-natural). Over the past month, I've had the chance to try out a few of their gorgeous products, and I have to say I'm nothing other than... Continue reading

Ahh, to leave it all behind and just get out of town... Last weekend was spent on Vashon Island – just a short ferry ride away from the city, but ages away in pace of life – and let me tell ya, it was pretty damn great. To leave behind... Continue reading

inspired by him, made for her

If my ideal style and life could be condensed down into one single shop, it would have to be Mill Mercantile, unquestionably. Not only are they stocking almost the entire line of Aesop, but they're also big fans of the clog as The Universal Shoe (and I love. me. some.... Continue reading

the little things

I've been wanting to show you a few of my favorite little bits around my apartment for a while now, and with this amazing week or so of sun we've been having here in Seattle, it was the perfect time to take a few shots. I'm not sure I have... Continue reading

words of wise 05.

What a strange concept, failure. We fear it, we take steps to avoid it, we run from it. But what is failure, really, other than feedback (see: an opinion) that something has been deemed unsatisfactory? I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and how failure isn't a concrete thing.... Continue reading

Really feeling these soft washes and pops of pink, they soften up a room so well... it's one of those colors that can warm up neutrals just the right amount, making a room insta-cozy. And that shell-pink couch... be mine. couch / living room via Pennyweight / marble surfboard /... Continue reading

on early weekend mornings, and chocolate chip oatmeal

As seemingly incapable as I am at sleeping in these days (I remember having to be dragged out of bed at noon in high school... those were the days? Kind of?), I've come to love the early morning hours on weekends more than anything now that my brain is perma-trained... Continue reading

I do this thing where I buy a ton of books at thrift stores, and then they pile up and I never get around the even beginning to conquer the overwhelming mountain of new (to me) books on my shelves. In an effort to break that habit, I'm starting these... Continue reading

These new Nars Satin Lip Pencils are catching my eye in a big way... quite possibly because of this ad campaign which is nothing short of hot as shit. I mean, WHAT?! I want them all, instantly. Biscayne Park is topping my wishlist at the moment, as is a trip... Continue reading

the like knows like project

I could be very late to this party, but I just discovered the lovely Like Knows Like Project, and promptly watched them all in a row. Featuring some of my favorite artists – Lisa Congdon, Kelsey Brookes, and J. Hische, to name a few – the project aims to shed... Continue reading

I feel like I talk about the arrival of spring in just about every post these days, but here we are again! The local produce is getting more and more diverse with each weekend trip to the market (Asparagguuussssss!! Be still my heart.), and I've not been able to resist... Continue reading

For some reason, 27 was always my "scary" age back when I was, oh, say... 23 or so. But just as with most things, when you actually get to doing them, they aren't so bad. In fact, I'm kind of liking saying "27" when I'm asked what birthday it was...... Continue reading

I'm feeling a sudden change on the hair these days. Spurred on by my generally-spontaneous attitude towards major cuts, and the fact that very soon my western-facing apartment will become a greenhouse of heat and afternoon misery, I'm thinking cutting some of my past-the-shoulders and thick hair would be a...

the bitch is back!

It's been going on a year (!!) since this little snaggle-toothed creature has made herself known on this here blog, and frankly, she's been pretty pissy about it. This cat likes her internet fame, and she likes it served up hot. The other weekend, after waking up from a leisurely... Continue reading

kitchen wish list: spring

Sorry for the radio silence around these parts, what can I say... the week has slipped away from me, and the blog slipped away with it. However! I've been eyeing these colorful kitchen goodies over the past few weeks and couldn't not post them. I hope your week's been more... Continue reading

chickpea magazine

As a newly-birthed (ick) 98% Vegan (technical term), I've been discovering all kinds of fun new-to-me blogs, books, documentaries, magazines, and events to soak up all the information I can get on this little/not-so-little idea of living a plant-based life. I'm a human sponge, people. SOAKIN' IT ALLLLLL IN. Next... Continue reading
