Say what you want about the neon trend (I'm still on board) but I have noticed an internal inkling for some faded hues. Lately, I've noticed a lot of faded fluorescents and I gotta say I am loving them. Just yesterday was the opening of the hotly anticipated OKL Artisanal [...]
I was thrilled when I learned that AltSummit NYC was to be held (again) at Martha Stewart Living offices. For those inspired by her creative lifestyle (and that of her staff), entering the MSLO offices was like the Mother Ship calling me home. Needless to say, the ultimate hostess did [...]
As many of you know, I love a crafts. As a kid, I used to walk over to The Hobby Shop on Magazine Street just to wander the aisles for hours. That place was (and still is) filled with so much stuff - so much potential, and I just loved [...]
Currently in LA, a fancy design conference called The La Cienega Design Quarter Legends of La Cienega is underway. While it's fun to see the showrooms all dolled up for magazine editors and design bloggers and attend an amazing variety of panel discussions and presentations, I miss the day to [...]
Paris Photo LA takes place this weekend at Paramount Studios. I attended the preview on Friday and was quite simply, blown away. Some of the finest fine art photography in the world is on display (and available for purchase). Take a look at some of my favorite discoveries. Two portraits [...]

Over the weekend, I attended the Renegade Craft Fair and the combination of like-minded, crafty folks + gourmet food trucks + gorgeous California weather made for a perfect day. Sure there were several vendors selling crocheted refrigerator magnets [...]

Several months ago I started experimenting with an idea that had been brewing for some time. I am super pleased with the results and so was Harbinger since they featured two of the pillows in their window for the Traditional Home Bunny Williams event on Tuesday night. [...]
I'm a sucker for anything multi-colored. It's part of being a Libra, but it's more a part of the interplay between multiple things.
