making a spectacle

Thanks to Ashlea for posting today.  Read a little more about Ashlea here and be sure to check out her new blog here.

I’m sure it all started with Grace Kelly. Gorgeous Grace Kelly, my mom’s uncanny celebrity look alike (I know, she won the doppelganger lottery) and star of my favorite film of all time, Rear Window. But ever since stumbling upon photos of her on the red carpet, wearing amazing tortoise shell glasses, I’ve wanted a pair for myself. (more…)

Do you have a go to blog/person/magazine that is always about 4 months ahead of what is going to be cool? A friend who is always dressed/styled in the perfect mix of trend/coolness? (Like you sit back and think, “Wow, I wish I would have even thought to wear that, let alone have that outfit in my closet!”) Well, fortunately for all of you, I do. Her name is Ashlea and she is one of my best friends. This girl has her finger on cool in a way that I quite literally have never seen before. Actually, it’s something my husband and I joke about quite frequently. It feels like everyone in the city of Seattle knows her; she’s been to every cool place before the cool place even lands on our radar and she’s super nice (Oh and did I mention she has an INCREDIBLE voice?! Listen to her band here, yeah she’s in a band, how cool is that?!).

Me & Ashlea at my wedding. (Ahh, how much do you love that wallpaper?)

So yeah, she’s pretty much incredible and YOU will get to experience her incredibleness tomorrow, because she’s guest posting! I am hoping to convince her to post semi-regularly…So tune in tomorrow, you are in for a treat!  And be sure to check out her new blog, “Rationed: Ditching Debt in Style!”
