A mental break

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.

Oranj you glad you came?

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.

Get Your Geek On

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...)!
