Solestruck Pop-Up Shop at Digs in Ballard
Ah, the blending of fun shoes and awesome modern home decor. Priceless. A couple of weeks ago I got an invitation to attend the launch party celebrating two cool things: Digs one-year anniversary in their Ballard location in Seattle and...
Share Your Day On Instagram With #storyofmyday
Sharing moments of my day on Instagram is nothing new for me, but actually thinking of each image as part of my daily story as a whole is something I only thought of yesterday during a morning walk. That seems crazy to me, since I specialize in...
