call me smitten.








Yes, I am in love with this brand new home tour of photographer Jamie Isaia and clothing designer Anthony Malat. I think it might just be my favorite Selby tour yet, which is saying a lot. Oh, those vintage collections... envy, envy.

Here in Portland, we have been going through some terrible late-May weather, switching constantly from little bits of sunshine to the darkest storm clouds I have ever seen, pouring down huge hunks of hail and crazy amounts of rain.
