instagram inspiration: shahrzad photography

I can't quite remember when I became aware of Shahrzad's photography, but somewhere along the line we became acquainted through the local music festivals here in Seattle, and I've been a fan ever since. Not only is her professional work beautiful and expressive, but her Instagram feed manages to feel... Continue reading

over the mountains and through the woods

Christmas came quietly this year, for me. No big trips, no big plans—which was pretty nice, I have to admit. A long work break allowed for a weekend trip over the mountains to Leavenworth, where much tromping in the snow was had. Christmas Eve with the family included a tipsy... Continue reading

How's it going around your neck of the woods? It's been a bit quiet around these parts lately... a little holiday hiatus. The past days were spent clomping around in the snow in Leavenworth, Bavarian Wonderland, USA. A couple days of work are ahead, and then a nice restful break.... Continue reading

this frosty city

A few snaps from around this chilly city as of late. We're being treated to mostly sunny skies, which makes for some very pretty frosty mornings. Oh, Seattle. / photos taken with an iPhone 5C, edited in Afterlight Continue reading

2013 Holiday gift guide #02: for him

A handful of great things for that great guy. 1. Almanac Brewing Co. is putting out some amazing beers. Their Biere de Chocolat is smooth and rich, but not too sweet. Perfect with, say, Christmas dinner. 2. For a true heirloom gift, a timepiece from Detroit-based watchmakers Shinola. 3. Be... Continue reading

Seen recently: mid-november 2013

A few shots from around here the past couple weeks. I found that awesome U.S. Aqua can in my mom's fiance's basement, and it's still full of water. The side of the can says 'Impervious to nuclear fallout.' So rad. Continue reading

three new favorites

I recently used a couple gift cards I had to the MediSpa at Virginia Mason (which is far more relaxing and spa-like than it sounds, thankfully) for a facial, and while the whole experience was relaxing and amazing—I definitely fell asleep for a second during the massage—a couple of the...

I recently got an envelope in the mail from my grandparents in South Carolina—my grandmother had been going through her albums, and thought I might want some of the photos. 'You come from a long line of good-looking people,' she had written in the card, which made me laugh. But... Continue reading

I've been losing myself in the sheer scale of this amazing collection by Edward Burtynsky lately. Water focuses on that vital lifeforce's role on this planet, and how we as humans attempt to harness, utilize, enjoy, and survive on it. How I would love to see these in their full... Continue reading

three of the best

I read a lot of beauty blogs. Or more accurately, I curate a lot of beauty blogs on my to-read list. Perpetually worth-reading, these three are all rocking in their own unique way lately, which really begs the question of whether I even need that old to-read list anymore? These... Continue reading

A recent upgrade to an iPhone 5C means I'm back in the market for a cute case. And since I tend to buy one case and use it until the phone inevitably breaks, it needs to be something I won't mind looking at for a good few years. Loving Julia... Continue reading

With my new commute (hello crowded bus and frigid mornings waiting at the stop), I am finding myself reaching more and more for a select number of tried and true basics that I know are comfortable while also looking at least somewhat put together. Gone are the days of any... Continue reading

that time of year

Without fail, I fall deep down the rabbit hole that is knitting around this time every year—to emerge only in the spring when the weather decides it's not all doom and gloom all of the time. Last year, I was brand new to knitting and stuck to the comfort of... Continue reading

words of the wise 12.

Ain't that the truth? If I wanted badly enough to make the time, I think I would spend tonight sprawled out on my couch, glass of wine in hand, watching all of this season of Revenge (my guilty pleasure obsession). Ah, Wednesdays... Continue reading

the series of ideal men: bub's owner dude

The coveted fourth spot in the much-lauded Series of Ideal Men has gone to Lil Bub's Owner (aka Mike Bridavsky). I mean, come on. Have you guys seen the Bub film? If not, go watch it and then you'll understand fully. No, it's not just for his awesome ink and... Continue reading

A dinner out, a desk scene, and a sleepin' kitten as seen in the past couple weeks. This month is flying by. It's feeling much more like a true autumn here in Seattle lately, and the leaves are just beginning to fall with gusto. This is really the best time,... Continue reading
