Obsessions:

1. Leanne Marshall's collection for fashion week: I'm loving how she makes harsh geometric shapes look soft and feminine. Also loving the fact that she's from Portland!

2. Weekend Designer: I realize this blog has been around for a while, but I just found it yesterday, okay? =P Seriously though, this man breaks down the most beautiful designer couture into the easiest steps for the home sewer! I want to make all of these:

3. Snapfish collage prints: We've all seen the collage posters that most online photo services offer, but Snapfish offers the same collage in a mini 4"x6" print (which is the perfect mini-book size). I putting most of my 2007 photo library into these collage prints and making a mini-book for my coffee table (don't worry, I didn't abandon traditional scrapbooking; all the major vacations are still on 12"x12"). All the collages above are examples! Make your own here.


Anticipations:
[Sunday] The Emmys: I'm going. What should I wear?!

(all dresses from shopbop.com)

(also all dresses I can't afford; these are for drooling purposes only)

[Thursday] Oregon State football: I mean Trojan football... whatever, it's my two favorite teams battling on the field. We all remember what happened 2 years ago...

Melancholy:
A favorite professor has passed away. My thoughts are with his family.
