My Daylight: Art Show @ Free People Seattle

Happy Tuesday! I wanted to share some shots from my show earlier this month at Free People Seattle. It was so much fun mixing art with apparel and of course everyone loved having a glass of wine to sip on as they shopped. The store has a perfect little Sale room that we converted into our own mini gallery space for the evening. It was such a great collaboration that we want to do it again with more local artists in September! So calling all Seattle artists! If you love Free People, let us know and submit a few pieces of work that you feel represent your own personal style. We'll choose a handful of artists to show for another wonderful evening of art, wine, shopping and great company!

Hope you're all having an inspiring Summer, Enjoy!!

Love it / Live it: Elephant Love [Margot Bird + Cardboard Safari]

Happy Monday my friends! I've had a special place in my heart for elephants ever since my man and I traveled to Thailand a few years ago and they won my heart with their sweet, playful dispositions and tender eyes. There is just something about them, so large and fearless yet so warm and endearing that sort of takes your breath away. I love this painting by the fearless local artist Margot Bird, the palette is stunning and there is just enough intrigue in the skewed gaze of the elephant to make you do a double take...

I'm so excited to see her studio in a few weeks and a series of collaborative works she's been doing at an upcoming show, you should definitely join me if you're in the Seattle area. This girl is raw talent working in a style that is completely her own and unlike anything I have ever seen. I also happened to stumble upon this cardboard elephant head this weekend at Retrofit Home and have not been able to stop thinking about it since. It needs to live my on my wall. Pronto. Hope you had a wonderfully inspired weekend...Enjoy!

Love it / Live it: Dripping Sunset [Jen Ament]

One of my absolute favorite things about living in Seattle is connecting with other local creatives and lately I have had the utmost pleasure of working with print maker and painter Jennifer Ament. I'm excited to be doing some graphic work for her, giving her blog a little makeover, and her incredible style and stunning work makes my job very easy...

I got to see this gorgeous painting in person and am dreaming of one in blues and greens for my own home. Until I can commission one from her I'll have to get my fix with these silk flame stitch pillows from Furbish Studio, a great way to add a little splash of color to a room don't you think? Enjoy!

Ladybird: Dom-'Living in America'

TGIF, today i felt extremely happy to live here in the northwest and it made me think of this uber nationalistic song by Dom called Living in America. Whenever i hear this song it makes me laugh, but i guess what is more sexy than living in America?.... living in France.


Anyway, have a great weekend and hopefully this song can be on your playlist tonight! I have added some pictures of local people from some of my favorite seattle blogs
