our terrarium has a new plant. isn't it cute? I hope it flowers soon.

neutral territory

I really try to wear bright colors. really, I do. but my heart belongs with grey, black, white, brown, and lighter shades in between. I really love these neutral looks from J. Crew.

I love...

that he reads my mind and brings me kombucha. I'd been craving it all morning, and what do ya know, dlb shows up at my office with a bottle of Guava Goddess. love that guy. and kombucha. seriously, I'm totally hooked. our kombucha habit is an expensive one and I've tried to cut back, really. but it's so darn good.

::

I've been wanting to try making my own. has anyone made their own kombucha? if so, what were your experiences? I'd love to know.

I just posted some new custom blog headers and logo designs on the Seventy and Sunny blog.

unruly things meets pigeon toe ceramics

I mentioned before that I've been working on a number of really exciting projects and the first one debuted yesterday. the lovely Lisa of Pigeon Toe Ceramics contacted me about a month ago wondering if I'd be interested in collaborating with her on some hand painted ceramics and of course I jumped at the opportunity. if you've seen her work, then you'd probably jump at the chance too. her ceramics are beautiful organic pieces including tuck puts and bud vases.
the first piece from our collaboration is now up for sale in a very small quantity in the Pigeon Toe Ceramics shop. look for more pieces from myself and more Portland artists soon!

I like this journal a lot.

sponsor - dace

I couldn't be more thrilled to introduce the newest sponsor to Unruly Things, dace. I'm pretty sure that they don't need much introduction if you've been following my blog for awhile, but I'm happy to include dace among the other wonderful sponsors here. I've loved the style of designer Dace Moore for quite some time now and I've loved watching them grow. if you are not familiar with dace yet, please check out their shop. I'm sure you'll be in love.

as always, if you are interested in advertising on Unruly Things, please contact me and I'll send you a media kit with our advertising specs! the prices are just right for small business and shops.

make lemonade

I adore this skirt from Lauren Moffat's spring collection, especially how it's paired with a simple white tee and multi-strand necklace.
I love a good basic tee. my favorite combo is with jeans of course, and my hair pulled back with a fancy necklace or dangling earrings. what about you? how do you wear basic tees?

the lovely package

a few weeks ago, The Lovely Package was one of my top recommendations from google reader and I've been obsessed ever since. I'm always a sucker for pretty packaging and this entire blog is dedicated to just that. amazing, right?
