spring blooms in january

 

the strangest thing happened yesterday.

I was on my way to grab a crepe and an orange juice from Vivace in NW Portland

as I crossed the street a strong breeze picked up and my face was filled with debris...

but it wasn't debris, it was cherry blossom petals....

in January. 

later that day, a very sweet new friend of mine came round for dinner and brought be a gorgeous bouquet of pink tulips. 

springs favorite warning sign...but it is January.

As eager as I am for spring, it seems a bit worrisome that we are experiencing spring-like symptoms in the middle of the winter.

how long must I wait...

'Diana, how long must I wait' an ironically titled editorial from the pages of Dujour magazine.

months ago this gorgeous publication blipped off our radar, and I feared we would never hear from them again.

but, today I stumbled across a tweet that banished all my doubts.

Dujour is back and accepting submissions for their next issue!!!

send them to submit@dujourmag.com

if you, like me, are too impatient to wait till it hits newsstands, do reflect back on past successes by visiting them at content

these images are infused with a bit of magic, no?

i absolutely love Siri's coloring, and the makeup perfectly compliments her complexion.

i am actually left feeling pretty good about my washed out oregonian skin.

all we pasty girls need is a really good red lipstick

polaroids

 i have an old Polaroid camera that sits in a drawer and calls to me

its true, every so often I find myself being pulled towards that drawer

i slide it open, move the papers and tissue crowding my camera, and lift it up and out of its dark resting place

that is usually as far as it goes...as I have had endless trouble finding the motivation to track down film

these beautiful images are pushing me towards the drawer this morning, perhaps today is the day....
