Get Wet: Eco-Conscious Swimwear
It’s too hot in Seattle. No, really: it’s been in the nineties all week, and on Wednesday we hit an all-time record: 103 degrees of sweaty humid heat. Though I’m spending my days in clothing that’s work appropriate and weather resistant (dresses! sandals! cropped pants and sleeveless shirts!) I’m day dreaming about sitting on the shores of Lake Washington, dipping my [...]

Inspired, Organic, On Sale!: Melanie Renee Designs
Score one for the home team: one of my local obsessions, fashion boutique Mapel, is now a triple threat:
They’re US-owned (and local to Washington state);
They’re a woman-owned and -operated small business; and
They now feature organic designers.
Mapel allerted me to Melanie Renee Designs, a California company that offers soft, feminine clothing inspired by the classics. It’s [...]

Rusted Skies: Carnelian and Blue
Sometimes inspiration comes simply: the front page of Etsy lists a user-created, rotating “treasury” and oftentimes I find myself attracted to the pretty things that pop up there. A recent treasury, created by CowlickCutey, inspired me to start looking into a color combination I haven’t seen in a while: deep, dark reds paired with a [...]

Late Spring Cleaning? Add Some Urban Chic to Your Decor
For once, my magazine “research” has done me some good! While perusing Lucky Magazine, I found an awesome handmade deal in the $15 and Under section.
Yes, you heard me right: handmade and fifteen bucks or less.
The loot I found is this: hand-designed pillar candles, named and designed for specific streets New York City, by RE-SURFACE.
I [...]

Reason to Tweet: Giveaways!
Upon arriving home from work today, I noticed a package at my door: it was my spoils from a Twitter giveaway hosted by Caffé Vita: a free bag of their freshly roasted organic Sumatra blend!
One of the many reasons to use Twitter is to connect with like-minded individuals quickly and easily, using a diffused process [...]

An Instant Classic: Black & White
I’ve always loved how clean-looking and classic the combination of pure black and white is. Being that I rent an old (read: dusty) house and own a big (read: furry) dog, I tend to shy away from anything elaborate, but these Etsy finds are just the thing to add a bold statement -with a modern [...]

Everything Is Better With Food
You know what’s going to make my whole week better? The local farmers market, that’s what.

Today is my local farmers market’s opening day, and I’m taking the afternoon to peruse the fruits, veggies, breads, meats…and everything else! When visiting a farmer’s market, you get to meet people who actually [...]

Cupcake Bonanza (In Miniature): Part I
When Kristy, my friend and fellow blogger over at Eats & Interests, asked me to tag along for her Cupcake Bonanza, I did what any sane person would do: I proceeded to taste so many cupcakes that I now have no desire to eat frosting, at least for the next month or so.
We visited five [...]
