ten images of inspiration : red and black.

Good afternoon! I hope you all had a very lovely winter weekend. I am starting the week off with photographs/artwork featuring my favorite color combination: red & black. It's very much a classic duo, one I don't think I will ever get sick of seeing...

ten images of inspiration : the ladies of alt.

I know that it's been a silent week on here. I have been completely consumed with Alt Design Summit, which has proven to be one of the most inspiring events I have attended. All the bloggers, industry folks, and sponsors have been so genuinely kind and knowledgeable. I feel like I have learned quite a lot and have made quite a few new friends. So, to end the week, I'd like to share some original photographs, projects, and creations from ten of this year's speakers. Have a lovely weekend and I'll see you Monday!

ten images of inspiration : femininity.

I am trying to embrace my own femininity right now. Gorgeous styling and photographs like the ones above really bring it out.

ten images of inspiration : random bits of beauty.

Goodness, what is going on here? Every year, while back home in Los Angeles, I have all sorts of trouble posting on here. Not only do I have very limited access to a computer (it's true: I still don't own a laptop), but the chaos of the holidays becomes all too time-consuming and overwhelming. Please believe me when I say this though: come the end of the week, when I am back home in rainy Portland, posting will be constant. For now though, I am going to do what I can. Today? Random bits of beauty from some truly talented photographers. And one more thing: I hope you all had a lovely Christmas!

ten images of inspiration : wintertime fun.

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the couple days of silence. My to-do list is a mile long and I definitely need some training in the art of time management. This time of year brings with it a whole lot of chaos. But, as shown above, it can bring a whole lot of joy and beauty. What are your favorite wintertime activities?
