makeunder my march: under the bed/wardrobe

15. March 2010

Good afternoon! In honor of Makeunder My March, I’m doing my first of several makeunders in my apartment. Today I tackled my wardrobe and storage under my bed. These were the two biggest areas for improvement in my space and I feel more peaceful knowing they now match my intention for this spring and summer. [...]

Good morning! First, I want to mention that last week’s end of the week exfoliation will go up later today along with the February “Giveaway Giveaway” winner. After the insanely fun and exhausting photoshoot last Friday, I did a lot of relaxing and walking outside this weekend. It was a much needed break to re-energize. That [...]

chicago city print

3. March 2010

First, let me say this post is looong overdue. I actually got these awesome Chicago city prints by Karen at Studio K months ago. If there is one thing I’m good at, it’s procrastinating about buying frames for artwork. So please be assured that there are three other prints still sitting in my closet patiently [...]

introducing: makeunder my march!

2. March 2010

Today I’m excited to introduce a new series I’d like to create this month in honor of spring cleaning, making under, and authenticity. It’s called MakeunderMyMarch. I’ve been thinking a lot about the re-posts I made last week and I realized that it might be time to revisit the nuts and bolts of making under. [...]

my bedroom photos

1. March 2010

And last but not least, here are the photos Becki Shleis took of my bedroom and bathroom. These rooms are the most unfinished of the whole apartment. I’m trying to be patient and take my time collecting the pieces for these spaces. Ideally, I’d like to get more artwork hung in the bathroom and get two [...]

intentional obsession: new desk chair

11. January 2010

Last Friday my friend Kristin and I went to Ikea and I came home with a new desk chair. I’ve been debating on what style to choose ever since my old wooden black one started to get rickety. I settled on the white faux-leather egg style chair. Other options at West Elm and CB2 were [...]

pve giveaway winner and favorite lovely cluster

7. December 2009

Good afternoon! I have been busy this morning catching up on this weekend’s holiday orders. I have to say, finding out how many women have put Jess LC on their holiday wish list is pretty exciting. I think that could possibly be one of the greatest honors as a designer. This weekend was good – we [...]

mystery package and over-the-top gratitude

2. December 2009

So I have a story to share and a lesson learned. Yesterday my package guy, Andres, called and said there was a big delivery that just came in. Normally, this isn’t strange at all. Except I didn’t order this box. I had no idea what was in it, or who sent it. But this is what I [...]
