Meanwhile, On the Other Side of the Camera

A few months ago, Dayton-based photographer Tiernae Salley contacted me about doing some lifestyle photography to build her portfolio. I’m not a model by any means, but I’m always happy to help out fellow creatives (and self-photography is so time consuming), so we made plans for an hour-long session at New Riff Distillery. It was so fun! I did my best Vogue imitation and preened and posed in the beautiful bar and patio area while Tiernae...

Current Obsession // Podcast Madness

Ever since Serial blew up, there’s been a lot of talk about the explosion of the podcast. Not to sound all hipster-braggy, but I’ve been listening to podcasts since 2008, and while I still have some oldies-but-goodies (Pop Culture Happy Hour, Marketing Over Coffee, Star Talk Radio) in rotation, lately I’ve been exploring the world of entrepreneurship and lifestyle podcasts. Here are a few I’m currently obsessed with: Being Boss This is my favorite podcast right now,...

Shop It Like It’s Hot Part 3 // Elm & Iron

After wrapping up a fun tour of the Artworks murals in OTR and scarfing down a (delicious) smoked chicken wing or five at Taft’s Ale House with my tour group, I made my way over to Elm & Iron, another Columbus-based retailer specializing in industrial-cool home decor at the corner of 14th and Vine.

Shop It Like It’s Hot Part 2 // Continuum

Even a cursory glance inside new Vine Street boutique Continuum reveals a range of highly Instagram-able vignettes, from the palm-print wallpaper to the meticulously arranged accessories. Don’t just look at it from outside, though--step in and take a look around, if only to find out where that strange pink glow is coming from. [caption id="attachment_5450" align="aligncenter" width="660"] A perfectly Instagram-worthy display[/caption] [caption id="attachment_5448" align="aligncenter" width="660"] They carry a selection of accessories, from fun printed tights to organic-chic...

Shop It Like It’s Hot Part 1 // Idlewild Woman

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of photo shoots, interesting projects, and social fun, but on one recent Saturday I decided to embrace my extreme nosiness (henceforth known as “healthy curiosity”) and check out all the new shops popping up on OTR’s Vine Street. As a stylist, it serves me quite well to have more shops conveniently clustered together just a few blocks from the crib, and I have to say was pretty...

Social Diary // Baby Dolce and Happy Hour Fun

Hey there! Here’s what I’ve been up to lately: 1. Making a floral headband for our adorable model at a Baby Guide photo shoot. That tiny little dress is a $300 Dolce & Gabbana number! The cuteness level in the studio today is through the roof! #babyguide #photoshoot #ovaryexplosion A photo posted by thestylesample (@thestylesample) on Apr 29, 2015 at 12:05pm PDT 2. Trying to power through my afternoon sugar cravings (and, as usual, failing miserably): I've officially reached...
