I’m incredibly lucky to live mere steps away from a fantastic path along Elliott Bay.  I’ve often found that even on the cloudiest of days it can bring me great peace to stroll or run along its windy pavement.  Yesterday as I reached my turnaround spot I paused as I always do, took a deep […]

Simplicity and Sweetness

One of my simple pleasures is styling and cozying up in my apartment.  I like to create and cultivate a comfy peaceful space for relaxation, entertaining, and creativity.  It’s an ongoing effort filled with spins through Goodwill, Pinterest boards, and random grabs from my travels.  This weekend, I livened the room up a bit with […]

Today we celebrate the longest day of the year.  I’ve always felt a special something for Summer.  I have a summer birthday, love warmth, and I can’t get enough of the outdoors.  This year, I spent Solstice with the terrific company of my lovely baby sister who to my constant surprise, is now all grown up.

Even on your darkest days, keep looking to the light.  Somewhere in its rays you’ll find the inspiration and drive to keep pushing you towards your dreams.

As any PacNWester knows, the summer is where our real magic happens.  We get at least an extra hour of daylight as our Cali friends to the south and don’t even get me started on the glorious clean breezes dripping with warmed up pine needles and hydrated ferns.  It’s truly one of the reasons so […]

I just adore a penthouse view

I have lived in 8 cities, spent summers in 3 others, and moved within the same city countless times.  It would seem that I am a modern nomad.  What that says about me I’ll let my therapist decide.  What I propose is that I’m a seeker and my parents before me.  The NW seems to have […]

Moving day

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 […]
