Work Attire

Friday, February 1, 2013

Most of the time when people hear 'working from home', they think, 'oh! wearing your pajama's all day!' -- and maybe some people do! But I feel really uninspired and almost 'blah' if I work in sweats all day. Then I read Megan Gonzalez of Mae Mae Paperie's interview with The Everygirl yesterday, and she's SO right. Megan was talking about how she was inspired after reading Twyla Tharp's, 'The Creative Habit' (which I also highly recommend reading!), she explained... 

"Yes—you are an artist, but it’s a job. You can’t show up in your PJ’s and expect brilliant ideas and vibrant patterns to be in your client’s inbox by the end of the day."

What do you guys wear while your working? Do you feel that on days when you make yourself presentable you work better? I know I do. When you feel confident in yourself, your creative + work process will follow. Or does working in sweats versus working in jeans not make a difference to you? 

I put together a standard outfit you'll usually catch me wearing - jeans, oversized tee + sweater (because of course you want to at least be comfy) and I can't forget my llama necklace from Madewell that I wear everyday (here's a similar giraffe one!).


Giveaway : InstaThis

Wednesday, January 30, 2013

I'm all about having Instagram photos printed. These little memories shouldn't just live on our phones, we should live with them everyday. Well, get excited, because I've teamed up with InstaThis to giveaway one of their beautiful 12"x12" wood prints! I decided to have one of my Instagrams from our trip to Hawaii this past fall, printed. I thought it would look killer on wood and I was blown away by the end result! 

The print is gorgeous -- you even get a little detail of the wood grain that shows through the image. Plus, InstaThis makes is super easy to hang with a slot in the back, they even send along a screw. I opted to lean my print amongst some other prints in my studio, because I'm always moving things around. This way, I can always have it exactly where I want it.

*Leave a comment below about how a wood print of your favorite Instagram would make a perfect edition to your home / studio. I'll announce a winner a week from today - February 6th (giveaway closes Tuesday at Midnight).

Be sure to check them out -- they even print on Acryllic and in different sizes, so you can create an Instagram gallery in your own home!

+ Thanks InstaThis

Giveaway closed! 
The random winner is --- Laura Coggins! 

Thanks everyone for playing!

With the new site coming, I've decided I'd like to reshoot any print materials I currently have. This way, it feels a bit more cohesive. I began by searching for various inspiration on styling, color, lighting, etc. Here are a few that stood out. Check them all out ( + more ) on Pinterest.

I'm in the process of something really exciting -- redesigning my website & blog! Right now I'm wrapping up design on it and I've really noticed a shift in certain design aspects that I'm really drawn to. Here are a few things I've been pinning recently! Can't wait to show you all. 

Office Chairs

Monday, January 14, 2013

Let's talk office chairs. 

Right now I'm sitting on an antique wooden chair. Granted, it has seat pillow and  back pillow, but let's be honest, 9-12 hours in a chair is not great. So I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade, to a squishy, not the cutest desk chair. To me, some of them look like space ships! Although the white chairs seem more feminine, I worry about it being white. All I can think of is wearing blue jeans, and the seat will turn blue. Those of you who have a white chair, is this an issue??

What kind of chair do you sit on?
