exciting news!

i have THE most exciting news - ok, it's THE most exciting news to me. 

I did a collaboration with friggin' ANTHROPOLOGIE. Yes, that's right.

I did several paintings, sent them off, crossed my fingers, and voila, a few months later here they are!

Ok, it was a little more involved than that. But I won't bore you with the details.

I also had to write a bio for the website, which was the hardest part! I went with my soon-to-be married name, since I wasn't sure when these soaps would be coming out. Of course, all my friends and family were alarmed, thinking that I got married and didn't tell them!

All I can say is, it was the most incredible feeling to walk into Anthro on 5th Ave and see these little babies sitting on the shelf. You can bet your booty I took pictures and sent them to my mom. 

They also smell really good, something I had nothing to do with.

If you're so inclined, you should buy one!

Thanks for letting me get that out.

OK, byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

beata heuman

i stumbled upon the instagram feed of designer beata heuman - and she is awesome. i love the "undecorated" yet totally pulled together vibe of her apartment, pictured above. from her quirky painted bedroom ceiling to the custom chalkboard she had commissioned, you can tell she has really put a lot of heart and soul into her home. after years of working for nicky halsam, she now has her own company - make sure to check out her portfolio here!
