money pit

I always feel super lame when I find a cool, comfortable t-shirt with some fake concert series, band or bar name. It feels so unauthentic and so cheesy. {Money Pit} is the opposite of cheesy and it's the epitome of authentic. A good friend of mine came up with the idea of the Money Pit that's inspired by the simple notion of a great neighborhood bar and high-quality, custom-designed tees.

Check out the Money Pit (here) and pick up a couple tees. My sisters and I have been living in our shirts all weekend.

style | Going Out

It's a rare occasion nowadays when I pull an outfit together that doesn't have paint on it or isn't from the heap of laundry on my bedroom floor. I've been busy (which is good for business, but bad for my overall appearance).

When I was in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, I had no choice but to class it up a bit. Here are the results

guest post | Midnight Shopping Trip

I'm very lucky to be surrounded with really creative and talented people on a day-to-day basis. {Jeff Snow} is one of them. His photography style is right up my ally - vintage with a modern twist. He took these photographs of his adorable wife, Sara, at a supermarket late one night and they turned out amazing.


I love the look of navy and black together. It looks polished and sophisticated, but not boring. Well done, Sara! And obviously, major props to Jeff!

red and navy

After I bought {this} Iphone case, I started noticing my affinity for the color combination of red and navy. Then when I started packing for an upcoming trip to Florida, I realized I really had an affinity for these colors. I think red and navy blue is a fun and classic combination. Add a pattern into the mix? Be still my heart!

my heart is in new york

Although I love to travel, nothing compares to New York. The culture, the fashion, and the fast pace environment is what the city is known for, but what makes it so special for me is the quiet beautiful places you discover if you take the time to search for them. A waterfall tumbling down a side of a building, rooftop balconies, and amazing art around every corner is what puts New York City deep in the middle of my heart.

This week, I'm looking through old photographs, books I have bought and art I have hung all inspired by my favorite place is the world.

friday favorite | crazy big orange scarf

A friend from work made me this GIANT orange scarf. It's huge and cozy and warm. It tries to kill me sometimes. Like right now, I'm sitting at my desk (and on half of the scarf), and when I reach to pet my cute dog or pick up something off the floor, my airway is suddenly super closed off. BUT IT'S WORTH IT! I'm in love.

Happy Friday, you guys!
