I can’t get OVER how much I love this image.
I wish I could say my own version of the lovebird earrings was born out of this scrumdiddilyumpscious lady image…
Don’t you just want to be friends with her??
Happy dappy Monday to all you lovelies! I plan on having a productive (and Olympic) week; this Oregon sunshine has really had a bolstering affect on me!

Last Friday, I spent the evening at one of my faves–Radish Underground, making custom jewelry for folks and having a grand old time. Gina’s husband, Ammon, grabbed my camera for a moment and I took to the stage.
It comes out of that place of being slightly uncomfortable, but once it’s there, it just goes wild…
there it is.
and then it sort of takes off.
and once it’s going…
…it would be MORE awkward to turn it off…
…so we let it play out.
and see where it takes us…
The best is when we figure we can take a stab at those ridiculously unbecoming model poses.
hmmm… it’s the face. if the face is wrong, it throws the whole thing off. The expression is key. Look how I NAIL it in these last few pics.
yes. if you hesitate, you’re in trouble. it’s all about follow through, folks. and then you’re smooth sailing—picking berries at prom.
Boots: Portland Outdoor Store.
Textured Tights: Nordstrom.
Vintage navy blue slip: Folly.
Ocean Dress: Stewart & Brown.
Cowboy Shirt: Vintage shop in NY.
Glasses: Amy Sacks.
Sassy Hoops: betsy & iya.
I hope you all have colorful and productive Wednesdays in your own ridiculously awkwardly awesome model poses! (If you choose to do any, please please take a pic and send it my way.)

I’ve been cooking up some awesome new blog structure for you, so you might want to come back here more often. Expect it to begin NEXT WEEK. I’ll post the schedule sometime this weekend. Yay! I’m really ready to get back into this.
In the mean time, you can catch me here:
Radish Undergound February 12, 2010 event
I’ll be on location, making custom Shameless Love necklaces (amid other great designer company) for customers who come by Radish Underground tonight between 5-9 pm. It will be a BLAST.
Have beautiful weekends if I don’t see you tonight! And, why not…HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY to you all.
