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

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

Mural on Main

My friend Alaina is putting together a series of fundraisers called Mural on Main to raise money for Artworks to paint a mural on the side of the building at the west corner of Main and Liberty. The mural will face high-traffic thoroughfare Liberty Street and serve as a colorful, quirky welcome to Main Street!I volunteered to help by creating the poster for the event, and after gathering the needed information
