instagram inspiration: sarah kieffer

My favorite instagramers are always the ones who draw you in with a narrative quality to their shots. Lately, the images that have been catching my eye the most have been Sarah Kieffer's charming food mini-series. They're typically just two or three images long, yet she manages to capture a...

seen recently: mid june '13

Just a few snaps from the past couple weeks. Here in Seattle, the seasons are dancing—we're constantly being passed between rainy Spring and glowing Summer. It's kind of great, to watch the dance. / photos shot on an iPhone 4S, edited using VSCO. Continue reading

Super good! I actually have made a raw vegan banana coconut cream pie since that I like even MORE. Soooo... that will be making it to the blog eventually as well ;)

Commented 7 days ago on chocolate peanut butter pie at Balue/Co.

start with: hummus

Hummus is one of those staples I like to have in the fridge at all times. Lately I've been whipping up a batch on the weekends using Sprouted Kitchen's lovely recipe, and then pulling it out all week to incorporate into dishes for a quick flavor profile (and obviously for... Continue reading

lettering with molly

Last weekend I had the pleasure to attend a hand-lettering workshop with lettering extraordinaire, Molly Jacques. Gathering in the lovely, light-filled offices of Jackson Fish Market (not actually a fish market... a design studio. Let's make that part clear :), we spent the day sketching out letter forms, refining our... Continue reading

chocolate peanut butter pie

What's that, you say? A chocolate peanut butter pie? You have my attention. But hark to this, because this ain't no ordinary choc-PB pie. This is a raw, vegan choc-PB pie. Don't click away. Now, obviously there are awesome health benefits to eating nothing but fruit, nuts and seeds as... Continue reading

This week has snuck up on me, as weeks are sometimes wont to do (am I the only one who always thinks of the show Girls when someone says 'wont to do'? Yes?). Just a quick hello to say I hope your week is less hurried than mine. Remember to... Continue reading

have a great weekend

Well, that week flew by. Dreaming of a little rest and relaxation this weekend (time away from the computer, perhaps?). I may even crack open a book, imagine that. Have a lovely one. / Photos shot on an iPhone 4S, in Ireland and at home Continue reading

words of the wise 07.

Talking to my amazing grandmother the other day, she said these words in passing and they've been in my head ever since. A reminder that life is a wild and untamable thing—we'd all be wise to remember that. At 27, I'm definitely guilty of a bit of over planning for... Continue reading

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
