Neighborhood Yellow



There's been a surplus of this sunshine yellow in my neighborhood lately.
It's the perfect complimentary color to these late summer days.

I was feeling very "California" when I got my picture taken in front of the batman.
Grey tank top, neon shorts, converse, and super bold sunnies make for the ideal August uniform. Complete with a mandatory ponytail.

Magenta Residents


Photographs Taken By Me

Magenta isn't exactly the most natural of colors. It's borderline neon.

Both these flowers and this mouse reside in Lisbon, where they bask in the sun against faded white backgrounds and bold blue skies.

Things That Are Awesome Thursday: Fireworks



photographs by me

Nothing says Summer, or at least American Summer, like fireworks.

They're loud, they're bright, they're festive-- they're everything America wants to be in one explosive bang after another.

I love fireworks. 
They are awesome....clearly.

Non-Commital Walls

I suppose I should preface this by saying that my job involves lots and lots of scarves.
Which, of course, means I have amassed quite a collection....and come up with more uses for them than simply as a wearable accessory.

Lately, I've been exploring using scarves in decorating.

Though both of these inspiration rooms are studio or art spaces which use scarves over windows, it seemed like a really great way to add some personality to interior spaces.



I hung this map scarf by Franco Ferrari in my room today (please forgive my awful photograph and glaring window light). I like using scarves instead of posters, because they're more sturdy. They can survive move after move, without the bulk of a frame, or the possibility of ripping paper. 
They also add texture and warmth to walls, which adds a certain coziness that isn't always easily obtained with traditional wall hangings.

It's the perfect decoration for the frequent mover or non-commital decorator.

It's just an added bonus that this scarf is an old map print, which just happens to be one of my favorite trends of the moment.
