50 Most Influential People In Seattle Right Now

photo cred | Seattle PI

I feel so fortunate to have been raised in a city that thrives on culture and creativity. When I look back on all of the people that I have met within the Seattle area or the people that I would like to meet, I am amazed at the diversity in personalities and talents. As a young adult, it’s inspiring to have these kind of role models living in your neighborhood. Seattle Met Magazine recently compiled their list of the 50 Most Influential People In Seattle Right Now and among the list are restaurant and bar owner Linda Derschang (pictured above,) Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Chris Hansen, Russell Wilson and many others.

DIY Foldable Paper Animal Lights

photo cred | Colassal

I don’t really need a night light, but I wouldn’t turn this down! So um…who’s gonna fold it up for me. I’m no good at origami. These paper lights were designed by MostLikely.

A Collection Part 33


Veronica told me just the other day that I was overdue for A Collection post. In looking through my archives, I see that it has only been TWO months. This is actually probably a new record for us. Like many “A Collection” posts, there is no theme. I wish I had something to say about how I’m feeling or why I chose the photographs that I did, but I choose them because at the time it is what is most pleasing to me!

Enjoy!

It’s A Valentine’s Day Post!

Valentine’s Day has always been one of my favorite holidays and though none of them have ever been all that memorable, that hasn’t really stopped me from loving love. There are always going to be the people in your life  that you no absolutely despise the holiday. They think it’s incredibly commercialized…and it is, but you know what? You don’t need to spoil any one else’s fun. Let ‘dem couples love their love.

Here are just a few gifts to wow your girls with this year.

1. Name a star – $49 (Cheesy, but if you’re like me and love space, then PERFECT)

2. Recycled Spray Can Bouquets (for the artsy girlfriend)

Tulip Fields By Normann Szkop

all photos by Normann Szkop

The last time I went to a tulip field here in Washington, I was a little girl along for the ride with my dad. I’ve always loved tulips and flowers in general, even floral prints! It’s a beautiful sight attending the Tulip Festival in Washington and it makes me a little sad that I haven’t been there in years. Seeing these photos by Normann Szkop of the fields over in the Netherlands brought me back a bit.

University of California Identity

If only colleges were this cool when I was there…last year or even when I first applied four years ago! The University of California is stepping up their game with their new branding movement entitled “Identity.” I don’t even know anything about this school, but already I want to learn more because of the way this video sucked me in.

It is perfectly modern, youthful, and engaging.

Fireworks In Reverse

For New Year’s Eve this year, we ran as fast as we could to catch the fireworks in San Francisco. Unfortunately, all we got were the sounds and not the visuals! That’s okay though because this video above makes up for it. Filmmaker Julian Tay shot this video of the fireworks in Melbourne, Australia over New Year’s Eve, reversed it and put some pretty music behind it. How can you not love this?

Look At This Pretty Bridge

How magical does this look?!

It totally looks like something you would want to walk on, but guess what? You can’t. Sadly this whimsical bridge is just an art installation and would probably crumble if you took one step onto it. This piece was designed by Olivier Grossetête and can be found in the Japanese Garden at Tatton Park, England.

I’d love to just be able to see this in person.
