I love the juxtaposition of these two images: birth and death.

My Ode to the Polaroid

I'll be spending my first weekend off in a long time recovering from The Sickness, so I'm pretty excited about that {please read the sarcasm}! I hope your plans are more exciting and involved than mine -- have a great weekend!

My Name is Jessie, and I'm an Addict

In honor of this confession, I'm admitting mine too:
Alexa Chung rocks my socks.
And I get a little too giddy when a new great picture/outfit pops up.So there. Addicts, unite!

Orange {Crush might be too strong a word}

Yesterday Alek posted about orange walls, which I've yet to be convinced is the right choice for me. The color is definitely growing on me: I've moved from having an immediate visceral reaction to allowing the color to sink in before I judge it. In all honesty my orange aversion all started because growing up in Tennessee meant I was surrounded by by fanatic UT football fans who insisted on wearing, driving, and decorating everything in orange. My friends insisted their favorite color was orange to show their loyalty. Orange was no longer this warm, bright summer hue, but rather "UT Orange" that is harsh and blinding. Even writing about UT orange makes my lip curl... ugh, I just can't stand it. But thanks to Color Splash's David Bromstad, I've come to enjoy the combination of blue and orange!

I came across these photos this morning and I really love them, plus it reminded me of Alek's orange walls.
And believe me, it hasn't eluded me that I chose to create my blog with blue and orange... I'm a complicated person, what can I say?

Spotted...

My train of blog 'thought':
Post Comment >> Blogger Profile >>
NYCRun Fashion >> John Lamparski Photography

So here I am looking around Mr. Lamparski's site, doing the usual research on a new-found photographer, when {BAM} I see this:





It's quite surreal when you see an old friend in an editorial shoot! That 'old friend' being Joshua Day, whom I knew was now modeling and building momentum, especially after winning this year's Mr. Universe. It really makes his success tangible for me, seeing him unexpectedly on a blog stroll!! He's currently with Ford Models and is working his way up the ladder. I think it's great that he's really making it in the modeling world and am very excited for him!





Here's a little blast from Josh's pre-model past in college...

{middle, dressed to go to our first 'country' bar in Canada - haha! Sorry Josh :)}

And here he is now...

Looking good!!

A little tulle can go a long way
To make you feel whimsical
Or brighten your day!

What does it do for you?

Where the Bright Things Are

If you're going to have a summer wedding, I can't think any better way to celebrate than with bright colors, green countryside, and Spanish architecture. Michelle and Rich got married at the Maderas Golf Club in San Diego where the beautiful greenery and club house served as the perfect backdrop. It looks like the weather was gorgeous, but that's no surprise in San Diego!

Grey+Yellow: UPDATE!

Ahhh, so I found a couple of grey and yellow inspiration images from the lovely photographer Anna Wolf.


I'm a huge believer of fashion as inspiration for architecture and interior design. I have a ton of pictures in an folder just to serve as room inspirations. One of these days I'm going to take the time to do the Domino "Outfit to Room" features because they're my favorite!

For now, just enjoy these pretty images from Anna! She's a favorite of mine, so I'm always on the look out for a little inspiration coming from her direction. She even has a blog, so check it out!
