A few months back I saw Geographer at the Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco and ever since then, I've been hooked. Verona is on just about every playlist I create and I love both of these versions. If you're in the Bay Area, they'll be performing at The Independent at the beginning of March. Quick, go snag yourself a pair of tickets!

I went bananas when I read that Emma and Bre were planning on opening up their own paper shop. For one, I just L-O-V-E paper and secondly I adore the style and aesthetic of these two lovely designers. Well folks, the Our Paper Shop is up and running and it's uh-mazing. The design and personalization possibilities will have you at hello, but the lookbook, will make you fall in love with all of the above. I immediately bought the Paris Life Postcards and the Seasons Calendar to brighten up my desk at work. Only question that remains, is what are you going to get?

Oh, and before I forget the girls are creating two desktop calendars every month for you personal viewing pleasure and you can find them on their Our Paper Shop blog, and for free!

Kinfolk / Volume 2

2011-12-27T07:13:00.000-08:00

"Kinfolk is a growing community of artists with a shared interest in small gatherings. We recognize that there is something about a table shared by friends, not just a wedding or once-a-year holiday extravaganza, that anchors our relationships and energizes us. We have come together to create Kinfolk as our collaborative way of advocating the natural approach to entertaining that we love. Every element of Kinfolk—the features, photography, and general aesthetics—are consistent with the way we feel entertaining should be: simple, uncomplicated, and less contrived. Kinfolk is the marriage of our appreciation for art and design and our love for spending time with family and friends. ." -Kinfolk's Manifesto

I have officially fallen in love with this magazine which means that I finally bought my subscription and ordered Volume 1 and Volume 2. Looking forward to this beauty of a magazine showing up in my mailbox every so often.

Vietnam & Cambodia

2011-12-26T11:09:00.000-08:00

As a christmas gift to myself, I purchased a plane ticket to Vietnam and Cambodia yesterday. Earlier in the year I promised myself I would "move" a little bit more and not wait so long to travel to another country outside the US. So with that in mind, me and a few friends decided to bite the bullet and finally pull the trigger on some airline tickets. We'll be jetting off to Vietnam in early April and I could not be more excited about it! Since I have never been, I would LOVE to hear any suggestions and/or tips you may have for traveling in these far off lands!

I took a ton of photos when we were in Europe and after looking back through them a pattern emerged. This is only a sampling of the photos I took of the brightly colored clothes lines and itsy bitsy cars. But apparently I just couldn't get enough of them.

I fully intended on visiting my hair dresser yesterday for a bit of trim. Being 15 minutes early, I started to flip through an Italian magazine, Flair, which is where I came across the top photo. I don't know what came over me but I felt the immediate need to just chop it all off. With this photo, Alexa Chung and Elizabeth Olsen in mind I asked for a choppy bob of some sorts. Kudos to these ladies for the inspiration and cheers to a new do.

Anyways, I caught wind of this article about her in Vogue UK and marched right over to the closest news stand so that I could have my very own copy. Her house/office is eclectic, colorful, and beautifully done. Let's all take a moment to applaud Todd Selby because he did an awesome job of capturing it, as per usual.

Move.

2011-09-15T07:59:00.000-07:00

Move is my new mantra. After returning from Europe with my family over a month ago I realized that it had been far to long since I had bought a plane ticket to anywhere outside the US. Last time I really took a trip was over 5 years ago. So, with this short film in mind and my European vacation still fresh I plan on moving quite a bit more in the years to come. Enjoy.
