Here’s the thing. As a blogger, I have totally failed you. I went to Alt bound and determined to take no fewer than 1037 photos for you. (No clue where that number came from, it just sounded good.) But see, then I got there and, like usual, the abundance of friends with whom to hug …

Friends, I have hearts on the brain big time this week. You’ve heard me say before that I don’t love the super commercialized version of Valentines Day that I think mention of the holiday brings to mind for most of us. However, I totally love sweet, homemade Valentines Day gestures to show a bit of …
Have you guys heard about Vine? If you haven’t, you absolutely need to check it out. Think of it like Instagram but with short 6 second video clips. You can make stop motion videos or just show off little snippets of your day. Yesterday I posted a video showcasing some of my favorite beauty products and …

Today’s DIY is one of the simplest things I’ve ever done, but I’m completely in love with these sweet little pipe cleaner heart toppers! I picked up a package of these glittery pipe cleaners at the dollar store while scrounging up extra stocking stuffers over the holidays. They were too cute to not come home. …
While at Alt last week I got to spend time with some pretty awesome roommates. I’m going to be name dropping them a lot in the coming days and telling you how amazing each of them are, you can count on that. In the meantime, I will say simply that I loved getting to meet …
I have to be honest, guys, and admit that I’m really tired this week. Mentally, I’m all kinds of inspired and fired up following Alt Summit last week, but physically I am running pretty close to empty. Long days of work and excitement combined with too little sleep are definitely catching up with me. With …
As promised last week, I’m kicking things off this morning by sharing a little recap of my panel discussion from Alt Summit last week. Nathan Williams of Kinfolk, Promise Tangeman, Vivian Mansour of ish & chi and I were charged with the exciting (but fairly well daunting) task of sharing our picks for some of the freshest blogs going. These blogs are essentially our picks …
{Photo by Smilebooth sponsored by Method at Alt Summit.} Well, friends, the whirlwind that was Alt Summit has come and gone and this morning I am camped out at the airport in Salt Lake City ready to make the trek back east. I’m always blown away by Alt and this year was certainly no different. …
Guys, I can’t believe it’s already time for Alt Summit, but it’s officially here! I am traveling this morning (currently blogging at you live from the Delta terminal at JFK) and really looking forward to meeting up with everyone in Salt Lake City later today. Which, of course, means much of my last few days …

by Kelly Lanza I’ve been longing for one of those fun and funky pom pom sweaters I’ve been seeing everywhere lately, so of course I went and made the concept party-ready! It’s a pom pom tablecloth! Mine is all Valentine-d out (can you believe it’s just a few weeks away!?) but I think this would …
