I’m obviously obsessed with Nikes. Well you can go right ahead and add patterns to my list of obsessions. The more patterns in an outfit, the better. Be it on your shirt, your socks, your shoes, heck– even your underwear! This past weekend, I wandered around the beautifully hectic New York City and snapped tons…

My favorite part of Detroit is all of the colors– it’s the home of street art. Each building has a million stories to tell and there are a million different ways to interpret them. I thought I’d wear some art on one of my Carhartt jean jackets much like the buildings wearing art in Detroit.…

sweet, sweet Texas… There’s nothing like sipping on lemonade by a lake. I was just in Fredericksburg for a dear friend’s wedding. A big group of us stayed in a quaint little cottage right off the main street downtown. Picturesque doesn’t even begin to describe it. We went on a day long wine tour, ate…
Read MoreI see London, I see France…I’m so excited about these sneaker wedges I might wet my pants.

Read Morewiki-wiki weekend in Wisconsin woods!
What was intended to be a cross-country ski trip turned into a snowshoeing experience. Turns out, when you’re as clumsy as I am, wearing shoes that make your feet bigger isn’t a good game plan. It was a fun trip full of wine, pie, and snow. When winter feels like it just won’t go away,…

Oregon is beautiful and breathtaking. During my trip to Portland, I made the short trip to Multnomah Falls. Few things are as therapeutic as standing directly in front of a waterfall, soaking wet from waterfall juice. My new Liberty of London Sky Highs fit right into the environment with all of the colors and grungy…

just keeping Portland weird
I’ve been in Portland for 9 days now, and I haven’t even scratched the surface of all that is this great city. As you may well know, Nike headquarters is right outside of Portland in Beaverton. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pass to the employee store…and I went a little…
