a breath of fresh air…literally!
(Fe) Catalytic Clothing from Protein® on Vimeo. How cool is this air purifying dress by Catalytic Clothing? I love projects like this. It does what I endeavor to do everyday: find beauty, inspiration and innovation in unexpected places. Not that air purifying isn’t sexy… More from LCF: Catalytic Clothing is a radical new project that...
Just My Type

Titania Inglis
Real life got in the way of my annual pilgrimage to NYFW… however, I am hopeful I can make it to (capsule) this weekend… so many talented designers in one space!! Included on the list of must-see designers in NY native Titania Inglis. I love her latest collection (pictured above) and can’t wait to check...
Su me + Ethical Fashion
Hello autumn… hello dreary, rainy, chilly, I-haven’t-seen-the-sun-in-four-days autumn…. Thank goodness for memories of warm days, sunny smiles, romps through DC, etc. It’s all about transforming your state of mind… taking something bland and making it exciting, peppering the mundane with memories and imagination. In Su Blackwell’s case she takes something bland, paper, and transforms into...
Looks by Greta Pollman (under $100!)
With Fashion Week(s) right around the corner, my inbox and schedule are buzzing with activity! I know I’ve said it before, but FW is seriously the only thing that gets me through the fall. That quote by Camus at the top of my website? Totally don’t believe it, but the hope is if I look...

I have a B.F.A. from Virginia Commonwealth University’s Department of Craft/Material Studies where I was taught the ins and outs of all things metal and jewelry. The pieces in my shop...

Weekend DIY
Honestly… WTF is one of my favorite blogs… I LOVE this wrap bracelet DIY tutorial. A fun, relaxing weekend project that you can wear to work on Monday!
Rebound, Revisited
Despite a nagging summer cold (I blame airports, no sleep, work and stress), I had an awesome weekend… I had a lovely brunch with the legendary D and reminisced about all sorts of sordid events that occurred on Thayre Street, circa 2001ish (whilst sipping mimosas, of course). After that, we took a leisurely stroll on...
designer of the week: kimberit
By the end of this week I will: Pick contest winners (enter here and here), write more posts, clear the 3 foot pile of stuff off my desk at work, find time to write at BPL, and find my way back to the land of stars and bars… Talk about going from 0 (warm...
Cute Mini-Polaroid’s
I love curbly‘s mini Polaroid magnets… but think they’d be even cooler on a necklace! She used the DIY Pantone chip magnet tutorial from how about orange and tweaked it a bit… If only I had the time…
DIY: Super Easy Pillows
The other day I was noticing how many “eco-friendly” bags I had stuffed under my sink… and then I saw this post (I know it’s from forever ago) on treehugger and thought, “what a cool idea.” Plus its easy. Stuffing + bag + sew = pillow. Personally, I’d cut off the handles. It’ll at the...
