Catching Up With Houses At SXSW
While in Austin for SXSW I caught up with the band Houses, whose 2010 album All Night was one of my most-played last year when I discovered it. The band consists of adorable duo Dexter Tortoriello and Megan Messina, who are probably two of the sweetest, most down to earth musicians I’ve met. Read More

Inspiration: Flowers In Your Hair
I love it when spring comes and the trees start to blossom and the streets are full of color and scents that awaken you. I often walk the streets picking the fallen petals.

A Dark Rose Jewelry Display
It used to be that I kept all of my jewelry in one spot in my bedroom. All my necklaces and bracelets were hung on a little white jewelry stand, and my rings were in a silver dish next to them. But in recent months I’ve begun to display my jewelry throughout my house, incorporating it into my décor. I think this breathes new life into the jewelry, and it always makes me feel like I’m living a story every time I take a piece off or put one on. Read More

Travel Lust: Lovelane Caravans Cornwall, UK
My most profound memories of my younger years are the caravan holidays I went on. My parents, my sister, and I used to pack small suitcases and then we would drive 4-6 hours to our destination. The destination was usually the English coast line and there, my imagination used to run wild. Having four of us crammed into a little caravan was kind of magical; small little beds, a tiny kitchen and a sitting area that could barely seat 2 people, but I loved it, it was quirky there were no mod-cons, just quality time with the family. We would wake up in the morning, get inventive with breakfast, and then head out for long coastline walks. Read More
