Designer Crush: Mara Hoffman

01/31/2013

In my eyes Mara Hoffman can do no wrong. The paterns and colors are always bright and fun. Plus the attention to detail in the embroidery and beading is amazing. I just got my first piece (thank you HauteLook!) and I am excited to collect more. I first fell in love with Mara Hoffman when I saw this beautiful embroidered bathing suit Anthropologie. Sadly this bikini is a few season old 🙁

Music Photography: Sonic Editions

01/30/2013

When I started photography classes in high school one of the first concerts I photographed was Perpetual Groove at Bourbon Street in Auburn, AL. I shot mostly on the AV setting and was so upset/confused when I developed the film and nothing came out right. My teacher very sweetly explained that I should have shot in TV (Shutter Control vs. Apeture Control). However, this huge flop allowed me to go to another show (Moe. at the Tabernacle) and on a school night (!!!) to redo my assignment.

Since then I have seen hundred of shows and taken thousands of photos. So one of my favorite Photography sites is Sonic Editions. Sonic Editions offers limited addition photographs of Musicians and Celebrities from world renown photographers.  Most of the art in my house is concert posters and photography, so I would love to add a few of these to my collection.

enternaGift – The Gift that keeps Giving

01/23/2013

eG_logo_large

Gift giving is hard. While remote control helicopters are still a hit for my 25 and 28 year old brothers… The older we get the harder the it is to come up with a creative gift.  Thats why I love enternaGift. enternaGift’s goal is to provide awesome gifts with premium products on a monthly bases. Sort of like beer of the month but instead of a case of beer, you receive a box with variety of items based on the packages theme. And these aren’t just any gifts, they are things people actually want and use! Packages  themes include The Golfer, The Cook, The Gardner and The Schoolar. My personal favorite is The Cook because I am a terrible cook but love cooking gadgets! Plus each package comes with a organic snack – win, win! Find out more about eternaGift Here

I also love that the company was founded by my good friend Dan Stevenson a fellow SMU Mustang!

Happy Friday with Links

01/18/2013

Happy Friday Everyone! I hope you get outside and enjoy this Holiday Weekend. The temperature in Denver has finally risen about the Teens and the sun is out. I plan on hitting the slopes, watching the Dirty Birds crush the 49er’s and see a few shows (Geographer and Railroad Earth)

  • Lots and lots of tech news from CES this week – my bestie, Ashley from The Yuppie Hustle attended this year and wrote a informative and witty (true YH style) review.
  • Trying to organize your new life in the new year – use plaaan to create a printable calendar
  • Have you seen Free People’s Newest Collection? Love the boho style, like this white lace dress
  • Whitelines Link – I think this technology is pretty revolutionary and we will be seeing more and more of it. I still love handwriting and my desk is covered in sticky notes. A note book like this would be awesome.
  • New Orleans Jazz Fest announced their incredible line up this week. I’d Love to attend the 2nd weekend and see my boys WSP. Plus Fleetwood Mac, Dr. John, Phoenix, DMB, The Black Keys, Hall & Oats, Trumbone shorty and so many more amazing artist.
