Sometimes I like to take a little break, sit back with my coffee and browse photos that inspire me. Whether they remind me of fashion, home, or my own wonderful life it's nice to take a sip and think.
A few weeks ago I was invited to attend the grand opening party of Oranj studio, a new concept salon/art studio in Portland's hip Alberta district. The studio, which officially opened in January, was the brain child of Portland stylist Tamara Dayton, who brought her love of the color orange to a whole new level. Upon entering, I was immediately impressed by the bright decor and clean, minimalist use of the space. (Side note: I have never sat in a more comfortable salon chair.)
Oranj also displays Tamera's husband Eric's art pieces, creating a unique environment that fits perfectly in the heart of Alberta's arts district. Starting soon the salon will be showcasing new exhibits every last Thursday.
Salon services start at $55. For a complete list of services please check out the Oranj website.
WOW! The recent Target gift card giveaway was a great success! Between Facebook, Bloglovin and Twitter we had 1946 entries! Our winner was selected at random, using random.org.
Drumroll please.
The winner, a twitter entry, is @Leannegip from California! Congratulations Leanne.
Thank you to everyone who entered! I will be holding another blog giveaway very soon so stay tuned.
I won't lie, I'm a nerd at heart. I geek out to superhero movies and Joss Whedon shows with my husband (Once More with Feeling, anyone?). I heart techie blogs, polaroid cameras and Jolt cola and I am currently reading Jim Butcher's Dresden Files books. Between my husband (who writes a web comic) and I we are a bona fide nerd household.
Because of my love of fashion and my love of all things nerd, I am thrilled that geek chic is creeping into the fashion community. I thought it would be fun to put together some cute, nerdy must haves. Enjoy my friends (and live long and prosper, or whatever...)!
I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has entered the Target GC giveaway. The amount of entries have been overwhelming. You are all so great! Only one week left to enter!
