Her blog is full of art, inspiration, hairstyles, tutorials and fashion.
It's my recent favorite on Pinterest, too.

Amateur Gourmet - "The Best Broccoli of Your Life"

We had this with dinner two nights in a row. It was that good.

Just a little lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and parmesan cheese.

It's almost worth walking to the grocery store for more broccoli right now. 

ASOS overalls

Cute girls in overalls. When I lose 1,000 lbs, I'm rewarding myself with a pair.

I'm halfway through and The Night Circus is surprisingly entertaining! I don't read much by way of modern literature (I'm a confessed classic literature s-n-o-b).

If you want a little romance with a decent dose of adventure and a lot of mystery - give this read a go.

This teeny canvas print from tushtush is lovely.

I'm crazy about the colors and love that it would feel like a "real" piece of art,

rather than just another 8x10 print on the wall.

Flutter in NW Portland.
It's all paint drippings on the floor, vintage rugs and antique furniture.
There's a shop cat, low lighting, vintage clothing, jewelry, knick knacks and tchotchkes.
It's well worth a visit.

Back Roads.

We're finding a reason to head out to the coast as often as possible. This weekend was no exception. The weather was perfect and I dusted off the trusty old dslr. Poor thing hasn't gotten much use since I got my new phone.
We haven't gotten much sun in Portland lately (surprise!) so I take product shots in the big bay window at my Grandma's house. It gets magical afternoon sunlight.

The best part of the trip was driving home to Portland on the back roads. The lack of leaves on the trees makes the beauty of this drive quite haunting.

Take the back road whenever possible.

Illustrated

We don't have children of our own yet, but one of my favorite things in life are 

illustrated children's books.

It's such a great example of art in modern, everyday life. 

Every now and then I'm going to feature a new book that I'm crazy about.

This time it's Forever Young by Bob Dylan, Illustrated by Paul Rogers.

It's the familiar song set to these fantastic illustrations.

So fantastic, in fact, that Tony gave me a copy of it for my birthday.

The perfect gift for any Bob Dylan lover in your life!

To get a better feel for the animation, watch this video below. 

This is an animated promo for the book from the publisher.

Why doesn't every book come with an animated promo?

Oh right, because of books like 50 Shades of Grey...
