HOLDING HANDS

HOUSE INDUSTRIES

This ampersand table by House Industries is AMAZING. I am in love.

SIP LONG, TALK MUCH

I am loving these bourbon bottle designs by Candy Coated Universe! Mmmm, bourbon. I'm so glad it's Friday! Anyone have fun-filled weekend plans?

U CLOTHING

Possibly in love with these pieces by U Clothing. I think I NEED the blue dress. Yes? Ok, it's decided.

FRESH START!

Eeek! I've been MIA for almost a month! I've had lots going on. I just made the move from Indiana to Los Angeles and had my car stolen somewhere in between. WHEW! It's been a long month. I decided I needed a change. A new blog name and a whole new routine. I promise I'm going to be better about posting and I'm hoping to bring some new things into the mix! Oh blogging world, I have missed you!

How have you all been? I hope all is well! Happy September!

PLACES I HAVEN'T BEEN

This image by Cameron Wittig is clever, right? I love it!

THE BASEMENT STACKS

"Books breaking through the wall downstairs, referencing the 'basement stacks' every library has. In this case it's as if those stacks had been sealed up during some remodel, and are anthropomorphically breaking through, referencing the old library, history, roots, poltergeists... Created for the VIA Advertising Agency, which recently renovated and moved their offices into the old Baxter building, which served as Portland's public library from 1888 until the 1960s." (VIA WARY MEYERS)

I move into my new studio in LA on August 25th. I can't stop looking at interior design blogs! I am in love with these! 

THIS WEEK'S SARTORIALIST FAVES

It's so inspiring to see how far Scott Schuman has gotten with his career in fashion. Who would have thought it would come from a little town in Indiana and a graduate from IU (where I went to school)? Crazy/inspirational!

LIGHT WOOD IS DREAMY

EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE

I have to keep telling myself this.

Soon enough, Los Angeles will be my home sweet home. Today was the first day at my new job and I feel really good about it. I'm also signing a lease for an adorable studio this week! Life is good.

BEST FRIENDS, DIFFERENT COASTS

I'm about to make the move from Indiana to Los Angeles and it's definitely made me think a lot about all of the goodbyes (more like see you laters) I'm going to have to say within the coming weeks. It's bittersweet, that's for sure. One of my closest friends has lived in New York for years and although we've been states apart, we've always stayed close. That friendship helps remind me that moving doesn't really mean goodbye, just see you later. The ones that matter, will always be close to my heart. Here's a photo we took one day when he was visiting Indiana. We're about to be even farther apart, but distance has nothing on us!

COUNT FISH, NOT SHEEP

Dream come true? I think yes.

HANDMADE OAK ALPHABET DRAWERS

I am swooning over these oak drawers by Kent and London. They would be perfect for my new place (once I find it) in LA!

STRIPES & DENIM

I am obsessed with stripes. I really cannot get enough of them. I always have to talk myself out of buying more items with stripes (and polka dots too)! I just love them!
