Bridal Show

04.26.2012

sorry for my absence lately! busy busy and everything seems to be moving non-stop. i was part of a bridal show this past weekend at the Hilton in Mystic as a wedding stationery vendor. excited to start working on invites for some new couples. the process is so fun, but i especially love the beginning getting to know the couple and learning the flavor and essence of their dream wedding.

i was torn about the best way to show all my work in a little tiny space besides an album which I did for my first show. i wanted to do something that would draw people in and i always had this vision of displaying everything on a birdcage. the daisy fabric gave it a backyard/garden look. I also had a white mailbox but couldn’t fit it on the table : ( next time. captured a few pics on instagram.

so excited about my new letterpress business cards with zebra print backside.

Styled // In the Studio

04.06.2012

thought this week i would share my current workspace in my home studio apartment and my typical work outfit {skinny jeans, tee with flats}. this desk is where i spend most of my time working and creating. i am outgrowing the space a bit and i am packing up some things and moving into my new studio space in the next few weeks. just a few coats of floor paint and its moving time : ) but i will always remember my first “official” personal workspace.

yellow rewind skinny jeans // striped tee and red flats H&M // snakeskin j.crew belt similar to this one & the best chair EVER!

i love to fill an inspiration board up with things i collect and find. always fun to rearrange & layer.

i change like to switch up my computer wallpaper often. frankie magazine has some good ones.

if you have some office inspiration please comment & share any links. i am grabbing all the ideas i can get for the new space!

hope you have an awesome weekend!

living in chaos

03.27.2012

it has been one thing after another after another and i haven’t really taken any breaks and i am feeling some much needed leisure coming my way. my apartment went from clean to a complete disaster in one week. doesn’t take much when your workspace is your living and kitchen space. hoping my new little studio will help with that. yes—new studio space for me. yay! part of the reason why i have been so busy, getting it cleaned up and such. can’t wait to use and share all the beautiful things i have planned for it! for now i will live and work in chaos and maybe make some time for a leisure activity.

hey, president & creative director of j.crew,  jenna lyons lives and works in a beautiful chaos, i can too right?

been completely obsessed with this little combo i created. if i know i am going to be super busy and will be lacking extra time for cooking & spending time in the kitchen i stock up on these items: wholly guacamole 100 calories packs, amy’s burritos and garden of eatin’ blue chips. super quick and easy & most importantly tasty. right now it is saving my life (besides lara bars.)
