zinke.

i know, i know. it is hardly even summer yet and here i am posting about fall items. but i can’t resist the pretty, pretty colors and fabrics utilized by zinke intimates. sisters arin robinson and jessie zinke launched their indie lingerie line in 2009. their approach is all about fun, fresh, mix-and-match pieces that are meant to be layered and even seen {yes, i said seen – i mean, wouldn’t you want to show these off if they were in your wardrobe? }. i have a little outfit of theirs already and love the quality and feel of it. and, oh boy, does the souvenir collection have me swooning {can’t wait for it to come out!}…


pretty, right? it makes me feel a little ashamed of the fact that i have a pair of old sweatpants on right now as i type this. what? it’s cold. alright…i’m grabbing my red lipstick and throwing something cuter on!

brilliant ideas.

my very favorite gal pal is so very inspiring to me. she is a wife, mother, entrepreneur, is currently taking classes…and that’s just a little of what she does and who she is {ps – she’s the bestest friend, too!}. she is so positive even with all that she has going on and still manages to have creative ideas flowing. so when i saw these i instantly thought of her. aren’t these screenprinted notebooks just perfect…

look at that! ready for all her brilliance and inspiration!

bursting with brilliance {teal}; stuffed with inspiration by katie blair designs: $10.00

don’t forget.

recently i haven’t been sleeping so well. you know how it goes when you have a lot of stuff on your mind and you just can’t shut your brain off no matter how hard you try. when this happens it makes me feel a little down and like i am not running at 100%. and then i sometimes have to remind myself to keep positive. been there? well, if you have or if you’re currently going through a little bummer moment like i am, i just want to tell you…

because you are awesome!!!

on a friday. finally.

my loves, i am super duper excited to share this with you. if you’ve been a reader since way back when, you’ll know i used to have a jewelry line called on a friday. when i left home to venture out to san francisco i had temporarily shut down my site. or it was supposed to be temporary. well, three+ years later, i am proud to announce that i have finally, finally relaunched on a friday a little over one week ago. it has been a lot of fun, a lot of work, a lot of restyling of the look of the site {and business cards, packaging, etc. – read about it here}. thanks to lindsay, of course, i am once again able to have a shiny new shop that i am thrilled about. i hope that you’ll enjoy it! here’s a peek…

juliet: $65.00; billie: $35.00; sienna: $50.00; rizzo: $42.00

shondra {blue}: $50.00; mahana: $46.00; trudy: $150.00
