my top five faux fur items for fall (say that five times fast!)

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

Normally, when temperatures drop, so does my spirit. As a very warm-blooded Texan by birth who was unwilling transplanted to Ohio, anything below 60 degrees sends chills up my spine. So autumn and I aren’t exactly best friends. However, there is one undeniably awesome thing about fall that all fashionistas can agree on: The fashion. [...]

love list : 10.24.10

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

apparently I’m all about the glitter lately. okay — i’m always about the glitter. Hello my sweet little candy corns (don’t ask — I originally wrote jelly beans, but decided candy corns was far more festive)! How is everyone on this wonderful autumn afternoon? Let me tell you, I’ve been better. I have the hangover [...]

Brain Sex: How Many Lives Will You Live?

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

image: ♥ Right now, I’m 99% sure that whatever I’m going to write will be crap. I’m sitting at my keyboard, listening to my Bassnectar Pandora station, sucking on a butterscotch (seriously! I don’t know how I forgot this simple pleasure from childhood!) and working on The Printed Blog, a project that I’m ecstatic about [...]

The Unhappily Uninspired Writer’s Guide to Kick Starting Creativity (& Gaining Back Creative Confidence!)

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

In this “Information Age,” we can devour all kinds of different creative media.  We can scour the web for new photographers, research the latest in emerging fashion designers, see an artist’s work before it ever hits a gallery and read our favorite writer’s blog in between books just to get a taste of their every [...]

Turning Fear Into Love

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

(via weheartit) Remember the scene in Donnie Darko when the health teacher draws a continuum on the board & tells the students that all emotions fall somewhere along this line between fear & love? (Hint: If you don’t, you can watch it here.)  Although Mr. D didn’t agree (& as a angsty teen, I didn’t [...]

5 Things I’ve Learned at My Corporate Job

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

I never wanted to get a corporate job. I never had dreams of climbing the metaphorical corporate ladder, wearing crisp black pant suits and sharply stomping my way to the corner office.  Not once (but does anybody, really?) For as long as I can remember, I’ve rebelled against anything that encouraged the tiniest ounce of [...]

food for thought: without struggle.

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

remember: there is no battle here. there is no struggle here. there is no problem here. there is no fighting here. there is only peace here. xoxo erica lee P.S. I’ve been working on 3 really juicy posts the past couple days, so expect something of real substance from me soon. In the meantime, I [...]

Where’s The Beauty In Burning Out?

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

I grew up on stories of the tortured artist. As soon as I could make my own reading choices, I found myself gravitating toward writers who lived on the edge. I was attracted to stories about loss & chaos. Stories without happy endings. Often times, the stories I liked were written by authors whose own [...]

Brain Sex: What Gets You High?

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes me really, truly, head-over-heels, breathtakingly high. Here’s my list (& only one item involves alcohol. Yay!) Care to share yours? x Summer nights riding in the car with the windows down & the summer breeze tickling your scalp x Soft forehead kisses from someone you love [...]

Link Lust: Week of June 12-June 19

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

After my super short weekly link roundup last week, I’ve decided to make up for it by being extremely generous with my linkage this week (especially because I’ve been seeing my own links pop up in some pretty cool places–thanks Joanne Faith!) Good karma is all around this week :) ♥ I don’t know whether [...]
