This weekend we worked on some wedding planning. One of the things we still need to do is send out our invitations. Steven and I collaborated on a design, and then he inked and painted it with watercolors. Above is a sneak peak at just the corner of the invitation. We still [...]

This is my favorite outfit lately. It’s super easy, looks cute, and is a great blank slate for my accessories, like this little owl friend. It’s one of several pieces of owl imagery that I forgot to include in my round-up last year. I guess I love owls even more than I knew. [...]

This skirt is printed with sketchy little drawings of buildings and trees and pretty pastel washes of color, thus the title of this post. I’m sure it’s lost on most people who see me wearing it, but it makes me smile.

When I saw these Urbanears headphones I spent a while trying to figure out what they reminded me of.

And then I realized what it was…

jellybeans!

As soon as I get my hands on a suitable piece of driftwood, I’m going to be making one of these amazing lamps using these instructions. Anyone know a good beach to hunt for driftwood near Cambridge, MA?

One of the most important criteria we had when looking for an apartment in Cambridge was that it not be new construction.

Can I have one of each, please? Came across these today on another blog (can’t remember which one), who found them via Shotgun Season. I have no idea where they’re from, though! Anyone know?

I thought that they looked like something Anthropologie would carry, but they were nowhere to be found [...]

Have you heard about Project ReStyle? According to the creators, Elsie Flannigan and Rachel Denbow, it’s “a just-for-fun creative group focused on ReStyling damaged, unwanted or unusable goods into fresh, beautiful pieces.” It’s not limited to clothing, and there are already examples of restyled furniture and home decor. To participate, just join the [...]

This last year happened to be one full of changes for me. I finished graduate school and earned a PhD, went to Paris, got engaged, and moved across the country, from San Francisco, CA, to Boston, MA. This is my first time living anywhere besides the West Coast, and so far it doesn’t seem too [...]

Phew. I’m still alive, and I made it safely across the country from San Francisco, CA, to Cambridge, MA. Turns out it’s a long, tiring drive, and not especially scenic on the route we took. And moving two people, two cats, and all of your possessions across the entire country is hard work. In seven [...]
