Florals? For fall? Groundbreaking. (No, really.) When they’re deep and dark and as moody as these are, they’re awesome in autumn.
Wear: A flowy kimono with your favourite mom jeans (as seen here).
Where: A bit of wow for your walls by Ellie Cashman.

Gilded age. The carousel at Seattle’s Woodland Zoo + shiny mid-century modern decor.
Cool water. The fountain at Seattle City Center during an early fall day + the cool waters of what looks like the Pacific Northwest.
Green machine. I showcased an emerald green baby bump during a recent trend presentation on Global TV + a very friendly dinosaur room.
Bright lights. The lobby of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre during a performance of Rigoletto + a powder puff of a restaurant in London.
Black and white. Above and behind the scenes at a recent Wardrobe Rescue makeover I did on Global TV (thanks for the photo, Zoe!) + an illustration that would make pretty cool wallpaper for a powder room.

Buying art is hard. Not just because it’s often a serious investment, but also because it has to move you (and hopefully whoever you’re living with too).
These Italian beach prints by Gray Malin move me. Like in a take-me-to-Italy way.
I love a rocky cliff-covered coast line. I’d take that over a five mile stretch of unbroken white sand any day.
And it sure makes for some beautiful shots, like these from Malin’s La Dolce Vita series.
Which is a series I’d happily invest in.

While everyone and their grandmother is obsessed with Taylor Swift’s squad these days, I set my #squadgoals on a posse of LA-based designers, bloggers, photographers and creative types: Emily Henderson, Joy Cho, Bri Emery and Max Wanger. Their aesthetics are different (their talents are too) but there’s some serious cross-pollination happening in their bright and colourful, sunshine-infused looks. Which makes for some fun collaborations.
Is it the Southern Californian weather? Is it the LA creative community? Are they friends in real life? I don’t know.
But I do know that when you follow any one of their Pinterest posts to their blog, chances are there’s some sort of shoutout to one and other. All the sunshine and smiles make me want to add colour — and a bit of gold — to everything.

I live for oversized scarves. The bigger, the cozier, the better, as far as I’m concerned. The Sahara Travel Wrap by Vancouver’s own Bare Knitwear certainly fits that bill. Made of melange alpaca and adorned with hand-knit tassels, it’s the kind of thing I’d wear straight through until March and then on every plane ride I take for the rest of my life.

With child. There’s no maternity wear more amazing than a vintage mumu (thanks, Katie, for the photo!) + an embroidered toddler dress that would make for quite the mommy ‘n me look.
Graphic imagery. Wild new wallpaper at Grub on Main + the work of Roos van Dijk.
Workspace. A necklace I’m using in a Global segment I’m working on + a desk I’d be quite happy to work at.
Posted notice. An ad for what might be the most fun dance class ever + a work of art by Jenny Prinn.
Golden child. My kid’s hair matches the decor + a shirt that would camouflage right in.

I can’t remember the last show I went to (I’m pregnant, I have a toddler, I pass out at 9:30 every night).
But I don’t need to actually have attended any of these shows in order to appreciate the gig posters by Milwaukee-based design studio Catharsis.
Medium poster-sized and $25USD a pop, they’re a bright, colourful way to capture a moment in time.
Even if you actually slept right through it.

Mustard yellow doesn’t sound all that glamorous but, boy, does it look it. It’s like a little bit of muted sunshine for your closet and your floor.
Wear: A day dress at Totokaelo (one of my favourite stops in Seattle).
Where: A kitchen (with art in it!) designed by INT2 Architecture.

Lights! Colour! Action! Bright studio lights + bright gallery lights.
Pop of yellow. Sometimes you need a pop of sunshine + sometimes you match your decor.
Workspace. My office is never tidy enough to shoot anything but a patch of floor + a corner of an art studio that looks suspiciously tidy.
Somebunny loves them. Selling breakfast to a toddler + a kitchen that could sell anything to anyone.

Style, my friends, is Natasha Goldenberg.
She rocks Prada like it were vintage. She always looks put together and a little undone, like only a European can.
Is it the hair? The minimal makeup? The attitude?
Or the fact that she’s always shot on a cobblestone street near a 100-year-old doorway, by the water with her daughter, or out at night with her glamourous friends?
I don’t know, but she’s selling the European lifestyle like few can. And boy, am I buying it.
