THOUGHT OF THE DAY : SAMMICHES.

"Work Hard and Eat a Lot of Sandwiches," a digital print by local Portland artist Will Bryant (available for purchase here, $18)

INTERIOR INSPIRATION : MINIMALISTIC, WITH PERSONALITY.

I generally find it rather rare to see minimalistic spaces that show any kind of personality- most of the time (being a clutter/vintage/treasure lover myself) I think that a large amount of them resemble office buildings and modern hotels. Sometimes, though, uniqueness and personal style shines through clean & sparse interiors and I love it. (Scandinavians: they are frequently experts at this.)

TEN IMAGES OF INSPIRATION : CHILDHOOD MEMORIES.

When certain aspects of my life seem stressful, sometimes I can't help but reminisce about being a child again. A lack of responsibility and an abundance of imagination and wonder... sometimes it just sounds all too pleasant.

WE LIKE, WE LOVE.

I don't know how this completely got past me, but I just realized that Issue #9 of welikewelove has been out! This especially excites me because they did a feature on me, which makes me quite happy. The issue itself looks so darn lovely- an applause and thank you to Alyssa and Liz!
