Every once in a while a song comes along that sort of becomes your anthem.  It’s a perfect fit for you and you never tire of it no matter how many times you hit repeat.  I just met my new anthem while watching the movie Save The Date.  The song flutters in when the protagonist is […]

Here come the Oscars!

It’s almost Oscar Sunday!!  I’ve been hosting shindigs for this fun day for over 15 years!  As a film nerd & student, the Academy Awards represent such a fun day and evening not to mention an excuse to have fun with fashion and get together with pals to talk about movies.  This year, I’m forgoing […]

I don’t always know how I’m going to feel on Valentine’s Day.  Holidays can either sweep you up in their fun or irritate you.  This year, I landed on Michel Gondry’s Mood Indigo.  His imagination is so amazing it’s mind-boggling.  The film touched something in me that I really responded to.  It’s a love story that is […]

Taking a break from the winter

Sometimes when all I see is a wall of January grey Seattle skies it helps to shine a little warmth and color anywhere I can.  This little beauty was captured on a trip to the Amalfi Coast in gorgeous Positano.  Where will you go this year?  Get your vacation on the calendar and have something […]

Warm greetings everyone!  Welcome to 2015!  I’ve been trying to figure out how to kick off the year’s posts and I decided to go with something simple.  Sometimes as we swim through life we get a little muddled and worn.  The refreshment of the word January is our reset.  It’s a chance to look forward, […]

Happy New Year!

Seattle, I love you

As we close out November I’m reflecting on a month of change and transition.  One such moment for me this year was my return to the Pacific Northwest.  I couldn’t be happier with that decision and I’m so grateful that it was possible.  In honor of this great place, here’s a gorgeous time-lapse by F-Stop […]

I’m in the midst of a staycation and one of the first items on the list was to go to Olympic National Park to spend a little time in the rainforest!  It’s the wettest spot in the US (besides Kauai)!  Peak rainfall really hits around this time of year so how utterly surprised and delighted […]
