On My Radar No. 9

Looking at the color palette of my closet has made it clear that I need more brights and color in my wardrobe.  Spring is the perfect time to add those much needed pops of color.

I've been thinking more and more about this combination since seeing Emma Stone’s outfit for the Friends With Benefits premiere.  I think it's lovely for spring.

Recipe Overload

I've been looking at tons of recipes for dinner ideas.  As a vegetarian, it can be easy to get stuck in a rut and it's nice to find inspiration.  I can't wait for fresh tomatoes, peaches, and beets.

warm beet & romaine salad with feta - caramelized tofu

eggs poached in tomato sauce - roasted eggplant and hummus sandwich

ginger peach bread - avocado & apple sandwich

Interior of the Week

I love when spaces feel pulled together over time: mismatched furniture, crazy knickknacks, and eclectic artwork.  It all combines to make a room with personality.

P.S.  I also love the gray grasscloth wallpaper.  Divine.

Snapshot to Style No. 6

The photos from Sivan Askayo's project Intimacy Under the Wires are phenomenal.  I love the intimate nature of capturing someone's laundry drying on the line.

Interior of the Week

Cozy and feminine. . . the perfect room for the transition from winter to spring.

Lunar Globes

I've been on the lookout for a globe of the moon.  It's such a quirky object from the 1960's.  

I also just watched this fascinating video from NASA about how the moon evolved.  I had no idea it was so intense.

There is an element of drama in a good editorial photo.  I love the contrasts, movement, and quirks of these outfits.  A little edge to an outfit is never a bad thing. . .

Interior of the Week

I have been catching up on Emily Henderson's show Secrets of a Stylist and loved this room.  The guy was all futuristic, the girl was all granny-chic, and I was totally on board with the resulting look - Eclectic Artsy Odyssey.  

I love the wallpaper, the art pieces, the pops of red, and especially that grey linen chair.  I am now officially on the hunt for anything similar: retro lines, tufting, matching ottoman. . .

Lookbook: Slushy Winter

It has been a pitiful winter so far here in Utah: rain, slush, and very little snow.  I would love to have a cozy anorak and some fancy rain boots. . .
