Invest In: Massage

Not looking forward to this long and arduous work week, I set out to really pamper myself this last weekend. The debilitating knots in my shoulders told me the best thing to do was head down to Clear Awakening and see if lovely Carissa couldn’t alleviate months worth of computer work.

Invest In: A Good Detox

So there was a little downtime this week while I was on vacation! I went to Vegas (a yearly ordeal) and on coming back I feel the need to invest in a little detoxification. In Vegas, we eat crappy food (McDonalds chicken nuggets, fried foods, no veggies), and some very rich meals (dinner at Mon Related posts:

Outfit: Deco Modiste

So when Kimberlee of Deco Modiste came out with her school thesis line, I had the privilege of being present for (actually, I was in) her thesis fashion show.  Her thesis was full of elegant lines, tailored silhouettes and vintage couture. These pants  will always remind me of walking the runway to an old track that Related posts:

Invest in: A Little Pampering

Sometimes you just need a little break – an extra day off, a long soak in a hot tub, and a good read. We’re not yet out of the throes of winter – spring hasn’t come knocking and the weather is still dreary, cold, damp and miserable. This time of the year can seem disparaging, Related posts:

Outfit: Presented by M641

Hi guys!  How’ve you been?  After a week of thoughtful posts I decided to lighten up a little with my little jumper from M641. I love the black and tan pairing – I think that’s what the girl has on in the product photos and it just stuck.  Black and tan are such an underrated combo…  Related posts:

The I in Relationship

Relationship-land is an amazing place. We discover so much about a person in such a short amount of time – the result of which can be intrinsically fascinating. We fall into a pattern of close connection; the other person becomes our world and a measure by which we view our good traits and Related posts:

I Want to Share with You

Jaka of Jaka’s Tea Party sent me this today as we were talking about life-changing decisions regarding picking up or putting down projects. It made me warm and fuzzy, so I thought I’d share with you, too. (Thanks Jaka!!)  I know it’s been extra quiet around here while I’m working overtime and getting ready for Related posts:

Where’s Birdie!?

Last week, you  may have noticed that posting was slow – I was in Los Angeles to vacation, visit family and to see a show (that was sadly rescheduled). We spent a good amount of time hanging out in the sun and cruising around in the convertible (!!!) we rented. Here are the photos! We spent time with Related posts:

Life à la mode

I was having a conversation last night with Mister about how the human condition is a struggle to come to terms with our own mortality.  In that, it seems like we’re trying to accomplish so much that sometimes we miss out on the finer points in life – the time spent to yourself on the Related posts:

Wholeness

I am whole. Every part of me is a part of the package deal that you get when you sign up. I am “fairy hair” and tattoos. I am a love for books and a strong hate for raisins. I am a little burlesque, a little rocker, a little My Little Pony with Related posts:

Wholestyle Manifesto

Your personal style is made up of so many more factors than what you wear, how you dress, or what color your hair is that day.  While talking about this, Jaka – from Jaka’s Tea Party – and I drafted up an idea of wholestyle.  Jaka wrote it out and it ended up like this: ========= The Related posts:

There IS Life…

… outside the internet.  I swear to you, it’s true.  I know for a lot of people this seems hard to imagine, but trust me: it’s there. I’m sort of half joking, but sort of being very serious.  I had this realization a bit ago, when I realized just how much of my life I was Related posts:

Tattoo

For the longest time I’ve been debating my second tattoo.  I love my first, especially because I have an artist-friend who did it for me.  It was an epic moment where I felt my life shift into a completely new gear and so the event was significant in my personal growth.

Street Fair Style

This last weekend the University District dolled itself up and set up shop all the way down the Ave – it was the 40th University District Street Fair, and such a gorgeous weekend. I admit, I love buying trinkets, scarves and fun things at street fairs – and that’s exactly what I did this time.  I Related posts:

I have this friend who’s been sort of down for the past little while since a sort of rocky breakup.  I was talking to this person about the little personal speedbump they’ve hit and I started to think about what it’s like to be in that situation.  I know that feeling of needing someone there, Related posts:
