hello, saturday.

It's officially the weekend, thank goodness. These next couple of days I plan to: peruse estate sales, sit in coffee shops, take photobooth pictures, use up a roll of film, drink beer, and warm myself in a cheap movie theater. What are your plans?

help a girl out.

Hello, readers. I wanted to write a short post in regards to my friend Lisa who runs one of my all-time favorite fashion websites (based here in Portland), Urban Weeds. Lisa has recently had some bad luck- poor girl just had both of her cameras break simultaneously. So now, with Lisa being a deep lover of their cameras, she is wishing to partner up with Nikon as an Urban Weeds sponsor (as well as getting help fixing her own equipment.) I ask of you to please show your support by commenting on this post, reblogging this, or donating money here. Thank you, and good luck Lisa!

happy weekend...

...have a lovely one. Start a new project, take some photos, and eat a cupcake. That's my plan, at least.

and i'm back.

From Alt Design Summit, that is. As I mentioned, it was a truly marvelous experience, and I cannot wait until next year. The above photograph is from the oh-so fabulous Kate Spade suite party, where the lovely Megan of not martha posed with me in Angela + Ithyle's photobooth. So much fun, I tell you.

I hope you all enjoyed the weekend- now onto the week!

alt summit.

Good afternoon, readers! I hope you are all enjoying your 3-day weekend. I just wanted to mention that tomorrow I will be heading off to Alt Design Summit and couldn't be more excited! I will be speaking/moderating a panel on Big Creative Companies & Social Media with some fabulous folks from Martha Stewart and Dwell Studio. I am completely overwhelmed by the amount of design/lifestyle bloggers attending and cannot wait to meet each and every one of them. If you will be attending, let me know- see you there!

ten images of inspiration : random bits of beauty.

Goodness, what is going on here? Every year, while back home in Los Angeles, I have all sorts of trouble posting on here. Not only do I have very limited access to a computer (it's true: I still don't own a laptop), but the chaos of the holidays becomes all too time-consuming and overwhelming. Please believe me when I say this though: come the end of the week, when I am back home in rainy Portland, posting will be constant. For now though, I am going to do what I can. Today? Random bits of beauty from some truly talented photographers. And one more thing: I hope you all had a lovely Christmas!

on to december.

How is it we are already three days into December? The past few months have gone by all to quickly- I suppose this is just a part of getting older. Anyways, I hope you all have a lovely almost-winter weekend!

little winter.

Good afternoon! Let me tell you, I had a lovely weekend. Little Winter was such a beautiful and inspiring event. It was just so wonderful to get to meet artists and bloggers that I deeply admire and see their work in person. Abby and Chelsea did a truly amazing job with putting the entire event together. I felt grateful to be able to attend and help out- good job to everyone involved!

I brought two of my film cameras and couldn't stop snapping photos, some of which can be seen above. You can view other people's photographs, as well as my own (which I plan to keep adding throughout the next couple of days), in the Little Winter Flickr group. Enjoy!
