Prism {@prismseattle}

I thought I would share a local #instalove <3 this week. Prism is one of my favorite stores in Seattle’s Ballard area. This chic + fabulous boutique store features vintage clothing, lifestyle objects and pieces, art, housewares, and other various goods of a handmade and independent nature. Every time I walk in the store, I at least want to buy 10 things – at least. I’m obsessed with all the jewelry – the pieces are so modern and unique. I started following @prismseattle this summer. I love seeing the posts and seeing the new pieces they carry. Follow and shop! #shoplocal

The Selby {@theselby}

Todd Selby is the creative eye behind {@theselby}. I’ve been a fan of Todd Selby, a photographer, director, author and illustrator for years. His Project, The Selby, offers an insider’s view of creative individuals in their personal spaces with an artist’s eye for detail. His photography is so rich with life, color, and has a voyeuristic quality about them. Todd Selby has said that it is a basic human instinct to be voyeuristic or be nosy or to be curious. He is definitely one to follow on Instagram. #voyeur

Music Monday. The Mamas & the Papas

Hello and Happy Music Monday. Today is the official last day of Summer. For today’s Music Monday, I thought California Dreamin’ by The Mamas and The Papas would definitely be fitting for a day like today. This song was released in 1965 and holds the #89th spot in Rolling Stone’s list of 500 Greatest songs of all time! Good-bye Summer. Hello Autumn!

Hello. We continue the Photo Project for 2014 – the random photos that I take throughout the week will embody a theme. In 2013 it was all about The Polaroid Project. If you haven’t seen The Polaroid Project video, please visit the post. {Matthew} gave me my word for this week {oblique}. For this word, we are going all black and white. Here is a glimpse of my week…

Music Monday. The Flying Lizards

September 15, 2014SADVblogs Leave a Comment

Hello and Happy Music Monday. My friend {M} suggested the band The Flying Lizards for today’s Music Monday. The Flying Lizards was an experimental English rock band formed in 1976. The band was a loose collective of avant-garde and free improvising musicians. They covered the song “Money” which topped UK and US charts in 1979. Press Play and Listen.
