downton abbey

my latest tv show obsession! not only are the characters and storyline captivating but the costumes and set design is done so beautifully. see it for yourself on pbs.com.

i really do need to start wearing more hats.

etsy

I have finally made the plunge into the etsy world and boy is it intimidating! There are so many beautiful products out there that I feel like whatever I put up will just make a little splash and get lost. That might be the case but here is to crossing off a goal for 2012.

Newly added to my etsy shop is a custom designed and letterpressed Valentine's day card. Please excuse the emptiness...photography is a bloody hard part of this whole process and I am not quite satisfied with my results. My goal is to have new items and updates weekly so please check in often!

RIP Steve

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." —Steve Jobs

What a revolutionary man who left behind an amazing legacy. I want to live my life with as much conviction and passion as he did.

RIP man.

Cecilia and Young's wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty today! GASP!

Not too surprised since their wedding was absolutely gorgeous but it was nice to see a little fish+cake work on a blog not my own :)

Go check it out!

tattoos and such

With the impending big 3-0 coming up in the seemingly near future I've been thinking of doing something really wild to celebrate my youth. I have been raiding image banks for ideas on what I would want PERMANENTLY inked onto my body and it is a tough decision!

Thankfully swissmiss seems to have read my mind and just launched tattly, a line of temporary tattoos by some pretty sweet designers. These are already in my cart for a test run to see if I have the guts to really pull the trigger in the future!
