I almost didn’t address this here. I’m still debating it as I type. But a part of me feels like it’s wrong not to. On July 21st, my mom passed away. ^And that was incredibly hard to type. I won’t go into what I’m feeling or how I’m dealing with it. I’ll handle that privately.…

New Digs.
No, not mine. Over the weekend I realized how many of my favorite bloggers have recently purchased new homes. You know what that means? New projects! The amount of joy this gives me is unreal. So I thought I’d share that joy with y’all. via Manhattan-Nest Daniel from Manhattan-Nest John & Sherry from Young House…

Happy Birthday, America.
Today you turn 237. Looking good, girl. Looking mighty fine. For all your faults, ‘Merica, I still love you. I can’t imagine having been born or raised anywhere but here. I know there’s beauty I’ve yet to discover all over this amazing world but I get to claim you as my home and I wouldn’t…

Acapulco.
It’s the weekend, which means I’m thinking about one thing: rest and relaxation. Okay maybe that’s two things. Here’s a third: these acapulco chairs (with a vague birth story) are said to have been invented after a relaxing visit to Mexico’s coastal town of the same name. Aren’t they gorgeous? I need about ten. Although,…

Home Stretch.
As some of you may or may not know, this blog started off as a shared project between Yong & I. We wanted to document moving in together. The trials and tribulations of combining our living arrangements, styles and attitudes. However, Yong went on to start Romero Brooks and I became the only one who…

date night.
Yong and I live together. Commute to work together. Are usually in some sort of communication throughout the day (AIM, WhatsApp, texting, etc) when we’re not physically together. Its not a hard-set rule, not a trust issue. Just something that came about from how our relationship formed. We like it, it works. The day it…

Bleak.
Got to take my camera out with the boys and do a small “photoshoot” (read: they talked, I shot) for a style article on how to stay relatively warm and maintain your style for Romero Brooks. They need to get more comfortable switching up their poses and I need to get more comfortable with giving…

Resolve to be resolute.
Here we are, brand new year. While being out with a cold isn’t how I’d imagined starting off the year I’m going to stay positive about it. Like most people I’ve always been the type of person that make grand resolutions and can’t even remember what they were by the last week of January. But…

Thou Shall Not Covet: For Home.
I think most people who love (read: obsess) over home decor know one thing: your home should make you happy. I’m not claiming to be an expert here, but think about how amazing it would feel to wake up in a space that truly makes you smile every time you open your eyes. Now think…
