Quote

As I've been contemplating about some things I would like to accomplish in the upcoming year, I came across this quote from a blog I read called La Dolce Vita. I think it's a great reminder for me to challenge myself and get out of my comfort zone.

Happy New Year

We are wishing you the best in 2010!

Houzz Home Design Website

You have to check out this website for home design and decorating. I love it! I've already added tons of pictures in my ideabook.

The September Issue

I can't wait to see this documentary about Anna Wintour, the Editor-In-Chief of Vogue, and the events surrounding the 2007 fall fashion issue.

Downtown Chic

I love this design book, Downtown Chic, by Robert and Cortney Novogratz. I recently got it from the library and I had to wait forever to get it. I loved looking at all the pictures and seeing the before and afters. The pictures and their style are both amazing and very inspiring. I also love that most of their renovations are in NYC, a city I absolutely adore. I think I'll definitely be purchasing this book in the near future. Robert and Cortney Novogratz's company is called Sixx Design and I recently found out that Bravo is shooting a new television series called Design Sixx featuring Robert and Cortney. It will be airing in January 2010, I can't wait.

Happy Easter!

Photo Shoot

On Monday I had the opportunity to help out my friend Chelsea of Frolic with a photo shoot she was styling. The photo shoot was a collaboration of some of the wedding vendors in the Portland area. I really enjoyed just being there and interacting with the designers. Check out the designers and their websites. I can't wait to see all the pictures in a few weeks, but here are a few now from the Twigs and Honey website.
