Moveable Type: Letterpress truck from Portland, OR
A couple of weeks ago some friends and I went to check out a mobile letterpress truck called Moveable Type (http://type-truck.com) run by Kyle Durrie who funded this new project via Kickstarter:(http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/powerandlightpress/moveable-type-cross-country-adventures-in-printing).
She received funding to go cross-country and demonstrate letterpress printing techniques for...

New Blog Crush: Bless the Weather
I came across Siobhan’s blog (www.hello-flower.com) via Google images, searching for a pair of Urbanears headphones, and out came her cute birthday wishlist (below).
As I scrolled through the archives, I found that I had so much in common with this lovely blogger from London.
She takes fantastic photos of delicious eats, music, outings, knitting, DIY projects, cool links, etc., etc....

My new favorite Lip balm: EOS
I have noticed around town a little egg shaped lip balm that all the ladies have been whippin’ out. I am a little hesitant to go up to a random person, and demand they tell me where they got it, (although my heart really wants to :-/) but I finally came across it today at Walgreens!
Meet: EOS
I was really surprised to find this at a Walgreens. It kind of looked like it would be some...

How To: Pack Like a Dude.
I love traveling. Always have, always will.
When I was younger, I would pack and unpack 3 weeks before I was leaving..at least 75 times.
I would pretend that I was late for my flight and had to pack in a hurry (ala home alone), and try to create as many looks as possible.
I was a crazy little kid and my dad MUST have felt sorry for me because he always let me take a crapload of luggage and...

Movie Picks
I noticed last year that I had accidentally been collecting 3 movies a year (I don’t buy movies unless they are completely awesome), and looking at my movie shelf now, my titles are all quite excellent…
I only like to buy movies when I know I can share them with friends, and to do that it requires you to watch the movies again and again, and possibly again. Make sure the movie is one...

Dog Day Afternoon
This was another weekend dedicated to, surprise BRANDY!
Saturday was the annual South Beach Dachsund Winterfest 12’, where all Dachsund owners are invited to bring their pets and socialize. Clearly this was an opportunity to make Brandy stand out, shine brighter amongst all the other hotdogs…And for this she would need her own custom made coat.
Which clearly she showed no shame...

Yelp Me
Somebody stop me from yelping…I’ve had an account since April 11’ but I hadn’t actually left a review until last week, when I was really bored at a bar.
I kind of started writing reviews because everything I read wasn’t helpful it all. People go on and on about the climate, how many chairs were in the restaurant, the names of their friends, what color their socks...

my first stitch 'n bitch
Yes that is a technical term.
According to Wikipedia the term stitch ‘n bitch has been in use since World War II. It refers specifically to a social knitting group but can also refer to just a group of women getting together and doing crafts (I’ve also heard of crafternoons for this one.)
I found this group via meetup.com, and it is an awesome site to meet other people who share the...

how to make sliders...and not eat them...
SO, I am 2 days into the weirdest diet ever (I’m only doing it for 3 days), where I am basically eating no carbs (a little bit of carbs) and no solids (some solids), and all liquids (not really).
OKAY OKAY, I don’t know how to explain it but basically I can’t have anything delicious but can have just enough food so that I don’t drop dead in the middle of this post.

My Two New Obsessions: Pinterest and Bloglovin'.
I know I may be late in the game, but this week I finally got my Pinterest login and joined Bloglovin’.
Obsessed doesn’t even begin to illustrate the amount of pinning I am doing. It kinda’ definitely looks like this.
It’s essentially a more organized version of tumblr, where I can easily organize my images collected from blogs and tumblr and “pin” on to...

Damn You Alexa Chung!
Not only is she like mind numbingly beautiful (I hate her understated chic beauty) but she is totally channeling my inner style goddess..CORALINE!
Uncanny isn’t it.
I love them both.
