Chatting with: Jennifer Merchant

This blog is an exercise in vanity for sure, but it doesn't have to be about me ALL the time, right?  I miss editing and interviewing and whatnot, so I'll be incorporating some fun, hopefully interesting stuff with OTHER PEOPLE (gasp!) into the site. First up? Jewelry designer Jennifer Merchant! I first came across Jennifer Merchant's bold jewelry designs while browsing One-Offs Yippee! and noticed almost everything I liked was from her collection. Corian jewelry?

A-Line Right

So, between stuffing my face with everything from crab rangoon to cotton candy at Taste of Cincinnati and cleaning like a crazy person last weekend--I mean, I was wiping down baseboards y'all--I picked up the new issue of A-Line magazine and had a read.It includes my lifestyle feature with Leah from High Street, whom I have decided to officially adopt as my light-skinded big sister from another mister.

Tumblr Tuesday: Colorful Crochet and Double Rainbow Rainbows

Hope you had a great long weekend! Looks like playtime is over and it's back to the regular ol' grind. Here's what's inspiring me right now: Mysterious, exciting dusk has always been my favorite time of day; I like the way the world looks in watercolor; How much better would naps be in this colorful crochet contraption?; Crochet dresses can often be folksy, but this dress is just HAWT; A double rainbow rainbow of

Yellow Dip

I've been obsessing over this ultra soft tie-dyed tee from Brush Factory since last month's PopShop. In typical Tamia fashion, I didn't realize how much I liked it until AFTER the event--the same thing happens with guys. First meeting, I'm "Hey, what's up" all nonchalant, then the second time I see the same guy and he's the foinest dude I've ever met.Brush Factory tee; H&M pants; Steven shoes; vintage jewelryI don't know why

The sunlight draws a picture

Thrifted top, vintage skirt & jewelry, Da Me hat, DKNY heels I took some time to do my little DIY trick on a rarely-worn oxford, and paired it with one of my favorite vintage finds: a full black and gold print midi skirt. I saw this skirt peeking through the rack at some thrift store or another, and it immediately reminded me of something an elderly Russian lady in a head scarf would wear

Tumblr Tuesday: Cardboard cameras and cake art

Something about this look at the Miss Unkon show feels perfect right now; A single flower bathed in light has a very calming effect; The idea of a (non-working) cardboard camera is oddly intriguing; This is clearly the most realistic clock EVER; I've always been partial to this Julian Louie x Aldo collection even though I couldn't find it locally; Clearly, I'm not the only one who believes that cake = art.More inspiration at stylesample.tumblr.com!

Photo Diary: Summery Weekend

On Friday, me and FriendBoy headed to Kings Island after work--y'all know how much I love Kings Island--to get our Season's Passes (thanks, Mom!) and, of course, hit the roller coasters. Also, there may have been deep fried foods with zero nutritional value and a towering blue ice cream cone. Maybe.On Saturday, I hit the OTR Summer Celebration to enjoy the warm (hot!) weather and some refreshingly tasty sorbetto. I TRIED to go to the
