You are my Support

cyeh March 1, 2016

Got to collaborate with Renee and Rauf to bring you this series. What I love about these photos is that they make you think... How are they doing that? You stare at one part of the image for a long time thinking... whose foot is that? It was pretty cool seeing it all unfold and how easy it came to them to try these different poses, but also how hard it was to balance and support each other. If you like this, you should check out their other work here and here!

Light Up the Loom

cyeh February 25, 2016

Persian and Turkish rugs have been making a huge comeback as of late. I love the way that these ornate and colorful rugs add so much character and hominess to simple and clean designs. In its past, antique rugs seemed to have been constrained as living room décor but why stop there when you can add a splash of color in your bathroom and kitchen?

My mother is a bit of an interior design goddess so I've always grown up around beautiful things. She has a gorgeous, deep red rug in our living room that I would lie on as a kid. Thank goodness she tucked it away in storage rather than throwing it out when she moved into a more modern and minimalist style. You won't event believe how quickly I got my hands on it once I got my own home!

Keepin it Cas(ual)

cyeh February 23, 2016

There's a lot of talk on the interwebs about how to spell the abbreviated version of casual. Is it "Cazj", "Cas'", "Cazh"...? It boggles my mind every time. I even looked it up on google and checked out 3 websites to see what people think just so I could use "Keepin it Cazj" for my title of this post! Buzzfeed did a poll and had their audience vote for which way was the best, and "Cas'" won. All of this debate, reading and wasted time just to tell you that I'm wearing this plaid dress from Madewell to keep it casual on the weekends. yay.

Back to Business

cyeh February 16, 2016

Ever since 2016 rolled along, it's been back to business - which at this time of year means back to back meetings at my 9 to 6, weekend work trips, late night Vibrvncy meetings, recovering from jetlag, less sleep, more junk, and less time to blog. My goal in January was to cook more (that didn't happen). My second goal was to work out more (does doing the elliptical for 20 minutes 3 times a week count?). My third goal was to get my new site design up and running (3 months later, still working on it). In my survival of all these first world problems, comfortable black and white outfits have been my staple set. Comfortable means goodbye to non-stretchy, tight-fitted, high waisted jeans, and hello to everything that feels like pjs but still look put together and professional. Don't worry jeans, I'll be back for you soon.
