"Transcience shows the beauty of the natural oxidizing process of mirrors.

By accelerating and manipulating this process, the Transcience mirrors show various stages of oxidation in three different geometrical patterns." -David Derksen Design

Totally inspired by these mirrors. They remind me of paint swatches and color tests. Heart heart heart.

2011-09-07T07:44:00.000-07:00

Choose two complimentary colors and paint your nails two different shades. Start with just one finger on one hand. Trust me, it makes you feel rebellious in the littlest way. :) Try not to wear 300 rings, but you get the point.

Where I want to be.

Had to put my best buddy Cobi to sleep this week. He was 16 and the most loyal and sweet pup I've ever known. I will miss his snores, begging for treats, our walks, the look in his eyes, and him being around so much. Take care of everyone in heaven Cobi. I love you.

Wow the branding for Cavalier Essentials is on point!

Here is how they describe the project:

Cavalier Essentials is a line of vintage products designed for the rugged, yet sophisticated gentleman. Cavalier was always briefly explained as--"If Steve McQueen carried a beat-up leather duffle bag on the back of his motorcycle; what would be in it and how would the products look?" This simple idea married an appreciation for lifestyle design and vintage accessories. All of the products possess a hand-made quality while responding to the modern influences of today's culture.

HAPPY NEW YEARS A FEW DAYS EARLY

2010-12-12T14:05:00.001-08:00

I have already made my New Years resolution this year. It will be to make more time to do independent personal creative projects. When your career is being creative for a client and "the man", it is hard to fill your own creative hole. I will make it a point to do small things here and there to remind me why I am "creating" in the first place. This bracelet will be a great reminder.

confession #1

2010-11-11T19:33:00.000-08:00

I have a confession: I hate the phone. More specifically texting.

It is just so impersonal. I hate talking online more. I wish that we could throw away all of our gadgets and knick knacks and start living a life more in person.

Live in the present. Look in front of you. If it is this large bright screen maybe you should close it, look to what lies past it. Get up and start living in reality (you know, the kind that is scary and unknown.)

I think I am going to give up on my online presence for a while. It will be good for me. :)

Blogging, of course is not included. Besides, I'm only having a conversation with myself on here anyways. Right?

2010-11-10T21:34:00.000-08:00

Sometimes life has a way of reminding you to just let go. It could be a moment you experience with a stranger in passing, a song someone plays for you, or a giggle you have with a great friend, but that "something" reminds you that there are so many "things" out there and to just let go of all of your own bullshit and start a new chapter.

Change is a good thing. Almost always.

Love the trend of edgy lace for the fall season. I am a huge fan of ultra girly looks, and this detail makes something very traditional feel super sexy.
