Cleon Update + California Home: Aliyah Davis

It is snowing something beautiful here in Bentonville, Arkansas! I have a photo shoot planned for this weekend and as long as my subjects don't back out (I REALLY hope they don't!), it could be a positively magical & beautiful thing with all this fluffy white (tomorrow is supposed to be partly sunny - perfect photography weather). :) I took test shots last week, but they wont be applicable tomorrow because of the reflective quality of the snow. I grew up in the North, so I just love the snow. I was so obsessed with the snow scenes in Katy Perry's Unconditional music video a few weeks ago, that I took screen shots of all my favorites. You can see them here. We don't get much snow here in Arkansas, so this is a rare occasion.

The storm itself is named Cleon, which sounds to me like an epic sci-fi movie: Storm Cleon Attacks! 

I might just make up a poster, if I can find some time! Or perhaps a t-shirt: 

"I survived Cleon 2013!" Haha!

Look for wintery photos on my blog soon, but in the meantime I have a little gift for those of you who hate snow! My good friend Aliyah Davis (a singer/songwriter/graphic artist/model in LA) took a trip and was kind enough to share some photos of where she was staying. They are just beautiful! You can also check out one of her (several) bands Facebook pages here: They are Inheritor, an LA based symphonic metal band.

Enjoy the  metal  (ba dum chi!) mental vacation via these photos by Aliyah Davis!

Merchandising: Chevron

I took a trip recently to my favorite craft store Hobby Lobby to pick up some Prismacolor markers and check out their wares. Home trends often influence fashion trends and vice versa. So this is another merchandising post - a series of photos from my trip based around specific themes. You can check out some of the Americana images I took here.

Chevron patterns are showing up everywhere from home decor to fashion and Hobby Lobby is right on top of it. Here's what I found:

Home: California Cool

California Cool by deuxs featuring oakwood furniture

One of my closest friends, Cadie, lives in California. She always talks about how amazing it is to watch the sun set over the ocean every night. Well, when I saw this board on Polyvore, I couldn't agree more. But why should Californians have all the fun? Decorate your house in these babies and you basically have the sun over the water 24/7. Notice the light colored wood and curtains, mimicking the soft sand under your feet, the yellow canary sunshine, and the soft blue sky. Thanks, "Deuxs!"

Home: Vintage Country Kitchen

Vintage Country Kitchen by deuxs featuring red napkins

I have to admit, I have a little bit of an obsession with vintage anything. Half of my closet is borderline costumey-retro. Red and white has a tendency to remind me of that, and this vintage country kitchen combo on Polyvore by "Deuxs" is right along that line. Red and white gingham, a retro inspired radio, and old time cafe coffee cups with an old fashion enamel metal chair, checkerboard pitcher, and dreamy retro fridge all add up to one sweet country kitchen with a kick! So cute!

Send me your Polyvore board link to be considered as a featurette!
