Have you ever felt that gut feeling or little voice in your head telling you that you need to take a certain way home from work, or maybe you're on a roll while playing cards--you keep taking chance after chance based on some inner feeling that you're gonna win that round, or maybe you met a friend and immediately felt an energy connection and sparks ignite in your brain--you know, those feelings that you don't even have to think twice about, the ones that just get you where you need to be. The voice in your head that you trust.</div>

This, my friends, is your intuition. I may or may not have done a terrible job explaining what intuition actually is, so I'll leave you with webster's version: "the ability to understand something <b>immediately</b>, without the need for conscious reasoning." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I listened to the GOOP podcast yesterday on 'cultivating your intuition' and was so inspired that I felt I needed to write this post and alert the masses. I highly recommend it if this is something you're interesting in learning more about. I didn't even realize this was something I was interested in until I heard the episode and now I'm so fascinated. I definitely recognize intuition playing a part in my own life/work, and I'm ready to delve deeper into this study.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Speaking of delving deeper, so far this year has been a deep dive of health and wellness for me. I've never been one to work out regularly but somehow this year I've been able to keep it up along with taking vitamins (thank you targeted instagram ad), eating better, and even regularly reading books?! (my book club could have something to do with that) I guess what I'm trying to say is, its not that scary!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Taking care of yourself is not as scary and daunting as it seems when you're starting from the bottom. Don't think just do. Don't give yourself the option of saying no to taking care of your body through food, movement, and soulful intentions. And that is all friends! </div>

Now, here are some lovely photos that we snapped while playing in the poppy fields. I'm wearing a favorite vintage dress I found at the Hammersmith vintage show in London. I wish the neckline were slightly more modern, maybe one day I'll get around to altering it, but the print and sleeves are so magical I can't even be bothered to care. Worn with some Jeffrey Campbell suede boots I scored on sale. I will forever love an old school boots and dresses combo. I think if I could wear one outfit forever it would be boots and a dress.</div>

Here we are at the beginning of 2019, we've all been trying to drink copious amounts of celery juice in the morning, take those vitamins an instagram ad convinced us to buy, and finally trying classes at that bar place across the street. But is it really worth it?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Absolutely. I haven't been this health concious in a while and it feels good. In a weird self disciplined kinda way. So as far as my health is concerned I'm gonna keep drinking that celery juice and trying those bar classes.<br />
<br />
My work life this year started off extremely busy, but has since slowed down. We left on our bi-annual development trip to Bali on January 2nd and got back about a week ago. Every time I'm there it feels more and more like home. I can't shake the feeling, even when I think something is so normal that it can't surprise me anymore, Bali does again and again. It's calm rains, kind people, and tropical greenery draw me in over and over. I find a certain rhythm to life there that I can't find anywhere else. And that rhythm is a slow one. Morgan and I truly want to live there one day, for at least 6 months. I can't get it out of my head, it's something that I definitely want to do soon.<br />
<br />
Over the Christmas holiday's Morgan and I got engaged! So, for now our days will be spent trying to figure out how the heck we're supposed to plan a wedding. As someone who hasn't really been to a ton of weddings so far I'm not quite sure where to start. Luckily there are so many good sources of inspiration online, but its easy to get sucked down a rabbit hole of blogs and instagram. I'm definitely one of those people that gets overwhelmed with big projects like this and then suddenly finds themselves in avoidance mode, so I'm trying to just keep it light and stay present in the moment. Instead of it being a chore to plan I want to just have fun with it. I mean when else are we going to get to throw an over the top aesthetically pleasing party and document the whole thing while looking magical?<br />
<br />
Circling back to our Bali trip, we really enjoyed being there and working with our manufacturers, they are like friends and family at this point and we wouldn't have it any other way. It made me so happy to be able to wear our Bali made styles while we were in Bali. The Luna jumpsuit worn by me and the Sweet Songs dress worn by Carolyn are part of our new capsule that is currently online, but they were only ordered in small quantities so get 'em while their hot! If you're able to get your hands on them, I really hope you enjoy them and you feel all the love that was put into making them.<br />
cheers!<br />

October, the month where we cozy up and settle down. I personally like to moisturize a little bit more during this month, especially in LA. Things are finally starting to cool and off and with that comes dry weather that my hair, hands, and skin hate!</div>

My bathroom cabinet just got an upgrade. My (very smelly) boyfriend also uses this and loves!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://playabeauty.com/products/ritual-hair-oil" target="_blank">Playa Ritual Hair Oil</a> - love the smell of this, definitely a lighter weight oil than I've used on my hair in the past, but I love popping this on the ends of my hair for a little bit of love. Also use the excess on my skin for a little glow. Made with Kukui, Apricot, and Sunflower oil.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.freepeople.com/shop/lanolips-rose-hand-cream-intense/" target="_blank">Lanolips Rose Handcream Intense</a> - one of the best hand creams I've ever tried. Smells like roses and moisturizes without feeling greasy or filmy. Great, heavy cream for drier months.</div>

Sometimes felt tip pens can get weird and either flatten out or dry up in some areas, but so far so good with these! They come in a ton of colors and are fairly cheap. Also love the thin, simple packaging.</div>

So much hard work and love went into this project. I could say a lot of things on Morgan's behalf, but I'll keep it simple and sum up all the crazy emotions into one: it just feels good to finish something. Sometimes you set all these crazy expectations for yourself and your vision, especially with social media comparison creeping into your brain (get it outta there people!). But, at the end of the day finishing something and sharing it with the world, despite all the annoying little voices in your head telling you it needs more work, is a pretty big accomplishment in my book. So I'll leave you with that thought: It feels good to finish something.</div>

This week I've been on a digital detox kick, which includes scrolling through my camera roll and deleting any unused, uneeded photos or videos try to clear my head and digital space of clutter. Well one thing led to another and pretty soon I found myself salivating over all the food I had eaten (and photographed) this summer and it made me so happy that I figured I needed to dedicate an entire post to it! Fall, I'm not quite ready to hunker down with a big bowl of soup but I know its coming, don't get me wrong I love stews, soups, and warm roasted vegetables that go so well with the current time of year but I'm not ready to put on my winter layer just yet. I decided in true Marie Kondo style I should 'thank' my food this summer for being the bold, beautiful, and delicious food that it was, it served my body and soul (most important) well. bon appetit!</div>

non-dairy yogurt, berries, and homemade muesli. I use <a href="https://www.pickuplimes.com/single-post/2016/11/27/Crunchy-Pecan-Cranberry-Muesli" target="_blank">this</a> recipe for my muesli and <a href="http://www.kite-hill.com/our-food/yogurts/" target="_blank">this</a> brand of yogurt, its so addicting! Sometimes I make the muesli more summery and add more cocount, switch out the pecans for almonds, and add macadamia nuts for a more tropical vibe (like below)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've all been there, stuck at the end of a deadline, maybe stumped from the very beginning, or just maybe you're in the middle the worst self diagnosed creative drought that never seems to end...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Whatever the specifics of your situation are, you've come to the internet to heal your wounds and that's where I come in to tell you the cold hard truth. Sometimes you just can't. Sometimes the creative fountain shuts off and it always seems to happen when we need it the most. There's been many a sketching deadline for work when I'm in the middle of designing and everything is just pure crap, I can't seem to get into a flow, and completing even one sketch is like pulling teeth. When I'm in those situations the easiest and first thing I do is stop and try to take a walk. Ok, I take that back usually I'm not the one who has the bright idea to go for a walk. Its usually Morgan who forces me to because he knows its exactly what I need. Then I argue for about 20 minutes thinking of all the reasons I don't have time for a walk or how I'm too lazy, or how its really not going to help. Thennnn only then, if he's won the argument, do I decide to take said walk and let me tell you it is always just what I need. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BUT, sometimes the walk doesn't help (it usually helps with a bit of anxiety though) and that's ok, I'll then just tell myself, "hey, you know what? You're not having the best sketching day, it's all good. You know that you're still a good designer you're just having an off day, let's push through, its not the end of the world, you can make those designs better later, there's still time even after this initial deadline." which brings me to step 2--seeing the forest for the trees. Look at the big picture and know that nothing is set it stone, reflecting on this always helps me free up my mind and all the pressures that a deadline can add.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last thing I'm going to suggest, that doesn't really help if you're on a deadline or time crunch, is get <b>curious</b>. Watch that old classic movie that's been on your list for 5 years. Read that weird book, research your family ancestry, learn about another culture, take an off the wall, interesting class. Use your brain in ways that you normally don't. Are you a chef? Design a barbie dream house! Are you a designer? Learn how to play the harmonica. The possibilities are endless and your creativity is like a muscle, use it in unexpected ways. Speaking of muscles, try interesting work outs like swimming, ballet, or even kick boxing. Or something you never thought you would do. Creativity is a verb, we can't sit back and watch youtube videos about it, read a million blog posts, or even try to disect it. We just have to do it. So for every blog post you read or video you watch make sure you're doing something creative too, because we the only way to keep the juices flowin' is to keep flowin' yourself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Side note: Why is it that I'm always too afraid to do the things that will help me reverse my situation?! For example when I'm procrastinating on deadlines or having a particularly uncreative day, I get on instagram to distract myself when I know FOR A FACT it's going to injure my feeble inner artist and throw off my productivity, and I still do it? It's as if I have no self control. I might as well be looking in the mirror telling myself nope you're not going to finally start your own business, you're going to be stuck in the same spot for the next 10 years because of your habits. Maybe I'm being too hard on myself and I need to stop the guilt trip, but does anyone feel the same?? How do you deal?!)</div>

P.S. I designed Morgan's album cover for his new single that is releasing. I haven't painted like this in so long and it was definitely a challenge, but a good one! Keep your peepers peeled for when his song drops, it's gonna be a good one! (check out his instagram for details: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lonesomelacowboy/">https://www.instagram.com/lonesomelacowboy/</a>)</div>

Dare I say it? Is summer really almost over? I for one, especially living in southern California, like to think that summer spans far beyond labor day. Even with all of the emails, instagram posts, and catalogues forced upon us showing every fall jacket imaginable, my mind is firmly rooted in living in the present...</div>

It's still hot, there are still extra beautiful golden hours in the evening to enjoy, and we're still dreaming of vacations in Italy or Greece with an apperol spritz in hand. So, with that being said I think I'll prolong summer dressing just a little longer. Don't get me wrong I love fall and all the fashion it brings, but Summer and it's dreamy feelings need to hang around a little bit longer.</div>

It's been a while since I've written some words on this here blog, but up until this past weekend, I had forgotten how fun it is to document my outfits and adventures. It's definitely one creative outlet for me and I think when I start taking myself to seriously and stop treating it like a place where I come to let off some creative steam, then and only then do I neglect this journal of mine.</div>

Speaking of journal, I'm pretty much that person that always has a planner, what can I say, it gets me through life! But recently I've been playing around with the bullet journal system and I have to say I'm kind of digging it! I definitely don't do all the crazy things you see on pinterest, I try to keep in minimal and useful, to me, taking too much time out of my day to write down what I need to accomplish kind of defeats the purpose of the journal? It took a minute to get the hang of it, but its actually super simple and I love the freedom that comes with it. I've also been trying to keep a journal just for writing my thoughts down. I've kind of always done this but never really kept up with it the way that I've wanted to. Its such a good way to destress and just get all the junk in your head out into a notebook so you can stay focused and present during the day. I definitely recommend the practice.</div>

Wearing a red dress from Free People that I barely ever take off, my favorite vans (perfect for desert wandering), and a vintage turquoise ring that I still can't believe I ever scored.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something about a pretty, vintage inspired dress will never get old, at least right now anyway. I keep adding things like this to my collection, dresses that will be loved for years and worn to pieces on adventures, trips, and to work. I love pieces like that. They make you feel so beautiful and put together, even on a crazy day. When all else seems to be unraveling by the second you can at least put on a beautiful well loved dress and feel at peace by feeling great in it. Maybe that's why I've been gravitating towards this kind of look so much? It's been nothing but deadlines and stress lately, trying to get everything done before the holiday, so the only thing keeping me seemingly sane are my pretty, fail safe dresses. Isn't it funny how clothing can affect our mood in an instant?</div>

P.S. Morgan came along and we took some pictures for his solo project, I think they turned out amazing! especially for such a last minute shoot idea. Check out his bands first single <a href="https://soundcloud.com/fizzyliftingdrinksmusic/kaleidoscope-eyes" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

Wow, just wow. In today's image saturated world, pictures rarely stop me in my tracks, but somehow this W Magazine December shoot shot by Ryan McKinley just did. I think its partially because I've been to a few of the places in India where they shot this, but also maybe for the following reasons:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. there's a quirky, retro, free spirit thing happening that I'm really into</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Jean campbell looks like natural and naive sun babe here</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. they shot it in India and I really love how there are no locals used as props, just beautiful buildings and beautiful clothes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. its so refreshing! maybe in this time full of slightly pissed of cool girl and in your face sexiness, this whimsical rainbow of a shoot is just what I needed this December.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, if you're constantly scanning editorials for inspiration (like your girl here) what publications or shoots have stopped you in your tracks lately? I would love to know! I'm finding it happens less and less for me, which makes me so sad. I hate that I'm constantly looking at images all day because I feel desensitized sometimes, but I guess it comes with the job. </div>

Oh hey there, its been a minute hasn't it? Fall has arrived, as I'm sure you've started to notice ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The autumn season is slightly more subtle here in California, but I've come to love it all the same. Morgan and I drove up into the mountains in Santa Barbara last weekend, while looking for photoshoot locations for his band. We came across this patch of tall pine trees that overlooked the ocean. I'm not going to pretend that these photos bring to life any of the magic that we experienced on top of that mountain because it was all about the stillness, the chill in the air, and the view. I never thought stillness could be so powerful. I immediately noticed it when we stepped out of the car. There wasn't a sound or a car for miles and the mountain sat way above all the chaotic energy below it. If you can do one thing this fall, maybe take a day to seek out that spot. A spot in the fields, the woods, or the mountains and try to take in the stillness.</div>

Taken a few weeks ago during one of the hottest weeks of the year somewhere in a canyon near Malibu. I was wearing one of my very favorite dresses and I couldn't help but explore this open patch of field. Give me a golden dry patch of California grass and I'll be happy forever. I'm not sure why but I find it so beautiful and romantic. I could sit for hours and just reflect and think.</div>

Last week I was sewing at my table surrounded by piles of fabric and trims, when I suddenly got the urge to reorganize my space. Maybe its the change of season, but lately I've been in the mood to just cook, clean, and hustle. Summer is officially over and there's dreams that need to be realized and work that needs to be done y'all.<br />

My workspace has been a work in progress ever since moving in to this apartment. The only area in the apartment for my 'studio' was a little nook off of the kitchen, so its taken me a while to figure out the best way to organize everything in such a small space. I've gone from making it very pretty and hardly functional, to very functional and not enough pretty, but I really like where it is right now because it's somewhere in the middle of all that. It's really important to me to have a workspace that is inspiring, magical, and user friendly.<br />

It all started with this shelf. I knew our kitchen table was going to serve as my desk/sewing table, so there wouldn't really be any desk storage. I also knew that I wanted everything out in the open so that I could easily find and see all my supplies. I wasn't able to find anything that I liked, so Morgan and I set out to make our own (I had a very specific shelf in my head). We wrote down some measurements, did some simple math, and bought some copper pipe, wood, and epoxy from Home Depot. It honestly wasn't that hard! The hardest part was probably when the copper pipe started to tarnish after a while so I had to clean it and then coat it with a clear protectant to help seal it. It still tarnished a little bit even after that but I actually like the look of it because it looks a little antiqued.</div>

The shelf was a game changer, but up until recently I still hadn't found away to organize all the little stuff, everything was in boxes and nothing was easy to find or grab quickly. Flash back to when I was sewing in a pile of fabric and trims, I immediately thought of Muji and all of their clear acrylic storage they have. TOTAL. GAME CHANGER. I picked up a few things and now I can see all my paints, thread, scissors, pins--evvvverrryyyyything.</div>

Now this little nook is totally functional and I never wanna leave.<br />

Crazy to think its been that long but about a month or so ago I went to Philly for work. I'm a designer for Free People but I work remotely in our (teeny tiny) LA production office, so my job requires its fair bit of <a href="http://www.paigesofnothing.com/2017/02/bali-design-travel-journal.html" target="_blank">travel</a>. We were headed to Philadelphia that week to present our finished collection for next spring, and it just so happened that my sister was finishing up her furniture design internship at Urban Outfitters. I arrived a few days earlier so we could adventure to New York together for some much needed sister time and visit friends. Below are all the moments I captured of the weekend + some pretty magical places to eat and hang. I love looking back on all the photos now and remembering all the makeup, brunch, and laughs that shared. Sometimes it feels good to just hang with your girls, ya know?</div>

The view at <a href="http://www.thebrooklynbarge.com/" target="_blank">Brooklyn Barge</a>. Ok, it wasn't a west coast sunset but ding dang, I was into it. I don't think I've ever seen New York this gorgeous. This place is great to hang with a group of friends and enjoy the sunset on a saturday evening over a glass of rose. If you're wondering, that's exactly what we did ;)</div>

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/christinamaria106/" target="_blank">Christina</a> and her coffee at the very millennial pink, very delicious, very pretentious, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carthagedestroyed/?hl=en" target="_blank">Carthage Must Be Destroyed</a>. I don't think I've ever had a dining experience land this close to a gallery experience but I can say with out a doubt if such a thing exists this is it. The way the tables are curated like a small museum of curiousities is enough, but as you look around you slowly notice all the random kitschy ceramics placed throughout. Then your eyes land on the pink espresso machine and the rest is history. Just be sure read the photography rules upon arrival, they're pretty strict!</div>

And finally a stop at one of my favorite vintage stops in New York, artists and fleas. I get a lot of magical vintage pieces here for work, specifically from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gypsynationvintage/?hl=en" target="_blank">Gypsy Nation Vintage</a>. Martha, who owns the shop, has been in the business for a seriously long time and really knows her stuff. I've even gone to her apartment and sifted through her stash, it was amazing! She has the best eye for finding those true bohemian gem pieces. Her only location is in Brooklyn, so make sure you check her out at Artists and Fleas if your'e every in Williamsburg!</div>

I walked into the grocery store the other day and my eyes immediately fell on an end cap filled with halloween themed cheddar bunnies and some sort of pumpkin flavored item. Yes, folks, it really is that time of year. I like to let the grocery store tell me what season it is, especially living in Los Angeles, where seasons are a rare thing to discern. So, while the rest of the world is pulling out their sweaters, we'll still be here enduring 104 degree heat waves, but I've grown to like it. Those lingering sunsets, uncrowded evenings on the beach, and glasses of wine on the balcony after work. These are all part of my dog days of summer and I'll enjoy them as long as they're here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On another note I read somewhere that all that fog in our lives from the eclipse has been lifted and mercury is out of retrograde. It is said that we should be cleaning, getting organized, and focusing, which is seriously all I've been wanting to do lately. For some reason I've been craving a fresh start. Feeling somewhat inspired, but not over the top. Just wanting to get things DONE. Wanting to make progress--visible, solid, progress. On everything from my surroundings/home, to my work, to my personal creative endeavors. Anyone else right there with me? How are you feeling lately?</div>

Oh hey there, its been a minute. But hasn't it always? Sometime I dream of an alternate reality where I can just travel to inspirational places, wear magical clothes, and create inspirational stories and content via this little online diary. But, <i>this</i> is my reality instead, posting when I can, editing out all the nonsense, and only sharing what I love. You know what? maybe it's better that I only post when I can, it forces me to filter out all the fluff. Sometimes life and time are funny that way, giving you only what you need, to do what you can.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways, back to the real reason for these photos, this magical dress from <a href="https://shop.spelldesigns.com/" target="_blank">Spell</a>. I've always been obsessed with them, but lately I've been finding myself wanting every single one of their dresses as each new collection releases. Is it just me or have they have been killing' it lately? It doesn't help that I'm a sucker for a beautiful, bohemian frock. This is one of my favorites, there are beautiful silver threads that run throughout the fabric and it shimmers in the light. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Morgan and I road tripped up to San Francisco to see one of the last weekends of the Summer of Love exhibition at the DeYoung museum. Let me just say, mind blown and inspiration overload. If you weren't able to attend it, I highly recommend getting the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Summer-Love-Fashion-Rock-Roll/dp/0520294823" target="_blank">book</a> that goes along with the exhibit, it will transport you to another time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We snapped these pictures on an evening hike through the hills of Palo Alto. By the way, I think in that alternate reality I live in the bay area, because man oh man.--the beauty and the nature!</div>

I've been craving images lately. Images with color, images that make my brain happy. These are just a few of the ones that made the cut. Especially those tiki drinks up there. I could probably design an entire mood/vibe/collection around that one image. It giving me 60s-mad men on vacation-hawaiin-old school better homes and gardens magazine vibes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What images have you been into lately? Do you have any good sources or places on the inter webs that inspire you? Lately pinterest hasn't quite been doing it for me (I say that as every image above is from pinterest) but hear me out. Does anyone else miss the days of old school tumblr and blogs? I feel like we all see the same thing over and over now. I miss seeing random things that aren't selected for me by some pinterest or instagram algorithym. Here's to 2010.</div>

I can't believe the first week of our trip is almost over. It feels like we just arrived. Villa Bella in Canggu has been the dreamiest. We've been sketching, traveling back and forth to the factories, shopping, and squeezing in as many balinese massages as we can.</div>

I didn't come to Bali with the right mindset, I wasn't mentally prepared. I had just come from a family vacation and two days later I was on a plane to the other side of the world. It didn't give me much time to prepare for the trip. So even when we landed, I wasn't in my usual groove. But I can say that tonight, on the way home from dinner, I looked out of the window and remembered why I love it here so much. The warm, thick air, the smokey incense wafting around, and the kind gentle souls that can be found all over the island. It truly is a dreamland, and I'm so lucky to be here making magical clothes with magical people!</div>

Last week's day dreams, while traveling to through Austin and Seattle, had me reminiscing and thinking about how one day I would look back on this time in my life and I would title it, "the LA years." I guess I've realized the day will come when I no longer live here and this time in my life will be but a chapter in my story. As much as I love and appreciate the city right now, in my heart I've always known I'm a country kinda gal and one day I'm gonna make my way back to those Texas fields. But, for now, its just a distant dream and LA is still a magical, sun-soaked reality and I wouldn't have it any other way. But, these 'LA years' had me thinking about all the other places I've called home and I came to the conclusion they are also a part of my story. It can all be so conflicting sometimes, it feels like I leave behind memories, friends, and little bits of life each time I move. Sometimes I wish I could just pick up all the geographical pieces and mesh them into one giant place that combines everything and everyone that I love.<br />

Let's start with Philly, oh sweet Philly. Where I first learned to truly live on my own. First time in a big city. First job. First solo apartment. There were a lot of firsts and a lot of tears if I'm remembering correctly?? I'm not totally sure because I think I've mentally blocked those parts out. But even so, Philly taught me how to be tough, it gave me guts. There were times when I was put through the ringer but I came out stronger for it and learned not to take things so personally or get emotional about things that didn't deserve my time or attention (any fellow Pisces out there know that the struggle is real). I learned to have the guts to speak up. I also figured out that east coasters say exactly how they feel, even though it may not always be what you want to hear. I learned to love and appreciate that quality, and I think that might be the thing I miss most about Philly.<br />

Next up is Texas, my home--where I got my grit. First and foremost I developed an obsession with all things antique, over loved, worn-out, and vintage. Scouring antique fairs with my mom, growing up in farm houses, riding to school in old pick up trucks, climbing on top of the hay bales. Texas shaped me as a designer and an artist and I realize it now more than ever. It made me tough but sweet, and instilled an appreciation for anything with a history.<br />

Lastly, I like to think Los Angeles, and the golden state it resides in, gave me my glow. When I say glow I mean more in the figurative sense that for the first time I felt like all the puzzle pieces were falling together, not to say new puzzles didn't arise but I was finally able to live in the same zip code as Morgan, I was all about my #dreamjob, and at last I was amongst all the beautiful nature I had craved so much the year before. I was happy--so, happy in fact that I guess you could say I was glowing (and like to think that I still am).<br />
So after those very lengthy, somewhat biographical few paragraphs, I guess what I'm getting at is--for all you people out there with friends/family/memories spread all across the US and possibly the world--don't feel conflicted. You can love the places and the people in them equally and all at once. I think we take a piece of each place with us everywhere we go and that's what make us all so unique. We're truly a product of where we're from and all the places we've hung our hat along the way.<br />

Currently watching the 'Girl Boss' on netflix and thinking about the parking ticket that I have to pay in 45 minutes before they try to charge me late fee. But still dreaming about my sanctuary space from yesterday. Sometimes you just have to bring the inside outside and create an area worthy of your chill time. I brought my favorite pillows, cushion, and glass of wine and was totally in my happy zone for a while after work yesterday. Actually, come to think of it, yesterday was a pretty great day in general because work was abnormally creatively fulfilling and made my heart so happy. Today, however, has been a strange one. The wind has been insanely strong here in LA and with it came a weird anxious energy. you know those days when everything just seems off? And you try really hard to move past it but as soon as you do something else goes wrong? That was me today. I would say I'll be spending all weekend in this very spot trying to recover from the week, <i>but</i> I'm actually going home to Texas. We're traveling to Austin for vintage shopping next week and I couldn't help but visit my hometown the weekend before to get some family time in. I'm missing those wide open spaces. Can't wait to be inspired and find some amazing vintage next week #soooostoked.</div>

Wherever you are at this very moment, I hope you are feeling the renewed energy of spring. I hope the season is inspiring you to get out and soak all that beautiful sunshine in. Sometimes I think we forget how healing the sun can be. I mean, I live in LA the supposed land of eternal sunshine, and even I can forget just how healing some time outdoors can be (that's not to say you don't need to protect your skin, I'm all about that SPF!) Something close to therapy occurs while I'm out in nature just letting my mind wander, soaking up the suns rays. <a href="http://www.paigesofnothing.com/2016/08/golden-fields-few-things.html" target="_blank">(I try to get there as often as I can)</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last weekend's wandering thoughts were especially beautiful because they happened in this windy field of poppies. California has been killin' it with the wildflowers lately. I think I've officially made it my goal to seek out every noteworthy patch in southern California before they die off, who's with me!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
P.S. maybe it's just spring, but I've been feeling every sort of femme, white, poplin, cotton, blouse thing in my closet paired with washed/destructed denim. It just feels so right! One of my favorites is this vintage long shirt dress I got at the rose bowl. I cut it off to make a mini dress/tunic sort of situation and I can't stop wearing it.</div>

Lately I've been thinking a lot about this blog, photos, content (lol at that word) and the current river of media that never seems to dry up in our daily lives. It can be so overwhelming, all. the. time. I've even found myself becoming slightly depressed over this constant stream of media because I'm wondering where I fit in to all of this? Where do any of us fit in? Usually I'm fine with creating just for the sake of my own happiness and sanity, but feeling that way all the time is easier said than done. It's easier sometimes, when my photos or my dress didn't turn out quite as planned, to ask myself, "whats the point!?"</div>

As the world becomes more homogenized everyday through the constant spread of information, I think now more than ever it's so important to stay true to ourselves. It's not always easy, but its important. Keep writing, keep creating, keep singing, keep painting. Turn our phones off, disconnect, and do life in real time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Try to weed out all the 'noise' of everyday telling you what to wear, what to listen to, what to eat, and stick to what truly makes you feel good inside and out. It's so hard sometimes to listen to what my inner self is telling me, sometimes I have trouble hearing, but the more and more I try the louder that voice gets and the easier it becomes to listen.</div>

Thursday evening after work I heard that voice. I felt a little jolt of inspiration and Morgan and I took our camera around the corner in our neighborhood. The light was beautiful, I was wearing my favorite vintage jumpsuit/jacket combo, and we even found a secret staircase covered in beautiful palms and bougainvilla blooms. It was pretty much the perfect end to our day. I was also reminded of why this is my favorite time of year. I think if I could I would want the sun to stay out for about 99 percent of the day. I can never get enough of that beautiful light.</div>

I'm currently in the process of painting the walls in my small bungalow apartment white. I started with my kitchen nook/studio space because it felt like the right way to go. You can see my previous wall color <a href="http://www.paigesofnothing.com/2016/09/studio-magic.html" target="_blank">here</a>, although it was a light neutral, it just felt a little dingy and old school. Since there's not much we can do to a rented apartment we figured a little paint could have a big impact, and pretty much every image that lives on my pinterest board features white walls. Soooo, we naturally decided to give the whole white wall, clean, bright thing a shot.</div>

1. <b>White walls are kind of scary</b>. Scary because I didn't realize how bold of a statement it would be. White is an eye catching color, which is probably why I have so many images of white walls. If you're thinking about going for it, go ahead and take the plunge. I started to doubt myself after one wall, but when the entire space was done I was in love! </div>

2. <b>White walls force you to be colorful</b>. I'm a girl with many sides, I like soft neutrals, I like color, I like it all! So when I was finished painting I realized I drastically needed some color on my walls to help warm it up and bring back the eclectic feel. I ditched my old soft, natural mood wall images and refreshed them with some bright new ones that I'd been collecting. I'm really feeling this mexican/canyon/hot pink with red vibe. I also realized a lot of the objects I'd been collecting over time had been white or neutral, next rose bowl or flea market trip I'm going right to any object with color to help make the shelf pop. Which then brings me to the table. We had painted white to also help brighten the space. Now we're thinking about sanding this down, beating it up a little bit and staining it something slightly darker than a natural wood finish. The new table would add warmth and texture to the space.</div>

<b>3. White walls are cozier than you think. </b>After seeing the first wall one of my fears was nighttime. I love my apartment at this time, especially with small lights everywhere, candles, and music playing. It feels so cozy and feared the white walls would make it feel cold and more like a gallery than a home, but I was completely wrong. I still have my cozy feeling, and the white actually makes the existing lighting in my house feel a lot fresher and less yellow than it actually is. And in the day time, well this place is complete MAGIC.</div>

Basically if you're thinking about going for it, do it. I opted for a warmer, slightly off white instead of optic white, which made me feel better about the whole thing. We don't see ourselves moving out of this apartment anytime soon, plus it's the best $15 I think I've ever spent. What do you think about white walls? Have you already hopped on the band wagon??</div>

P.S. I love the article linked below, from design sponge, that talks about the white wall craze. It also makes me curious to research more global design (i.e.: tokyo, scandinavian, greek...etc)</div>
