Last weekend I was lucky enough to shoot a little lookbook for my friend Rhiannon's jewellery line Two Hills . All the pieces are so good but I can't stop thinking about that Semi-Circle+Triangle type ring in the first picture. Dream Ring!

Recently I was contacted by the Simone France skincare company, they offered me some free products in exchange for a review. I was just running out of my usual products, which aren’t cheap and I’m being really careful about money these days, so the timing was right. I definitely get a lot of weird offers for random stuff but this was one I actually wanted to try. I’m not getting paid for this post, for the record (if you’re keeping one?). First they had me fill out a little questionnaire about my skincare routines, issues, etc, and they sent back a reply with some helpful tips and selected products based on that. They sent me Rich Milk , Refreshing Toner , Refining Scrub , Soap , Lovely Glow and Disposable Cleansing Cloths , and a little booklet explaining when and how to use each product.
Because nothing says "I'm married to the lord" like a latex habit, a Balenciaga statement hat, and Celine bitch boots. This photo is from the current issue of W , which is totally worth buying. Photo by Steven Klein, styling by Edward Enninful.

Friday was my 31st birthday. I was lucky enough to be treated to several days of birthday goodness. Thursday night, I celebrated with a lovely dinner at The Atlantic with Andrew. Saturday we had Andrew's family over for a visit (celebrating both my birthday and his brother's). The adorable mini cake above is courtesy of Andrew's parents. On my actual birthday, I had a coffee & cake date with my BFF Alissa and then took myself shopping.
I'm in awe that new years keep on happening and with greater frequency than ever before. Meaningless perhaps, only a date on a calendar, but I put a lot of stock in new beginnings so January first will always mean something here. 2011 was full and beautiful and also so altering that I'm struggling to make sense of it. Bite-sized chunks will have to do. I worshiped Elmwood. I woke up to see the sunrise and fell asleep swatting mosquitoes. I lay in bed and wished I never had to go home.

Hope you’ve all had a great weekend. I’m sitting here at work wondering where my 3 day weekend went and how I ended up with a scratchy throat and a foggy head. Sunday was spent on the couch watching tv under a blanket, and drinking lots of tea. I could have used another day to sleep this off, but at least Friday and Saturday were productive.
I love this time of year after because each passing day is a little bit longer, we get a little bit more daylight and I find myself happily holding onto the sun. That aspect of springtime—the sun lasting just that little bit longer with every passing day—always reminds me of being outside as a kid, getting to play outside a bit later every day because the sun seemed to stretch time. I have two brothers and no sisters, so while I loved playing Barbies and "house," I also spent a lot of time outdoors playing street games and building forts. Building forts was one of my favourite things to do as a kid.

When I was in the 2nd grade, a ballet teacher arranged to hold classes in a room off the library after school. I didn’t know much about ballet as a six year old (in fact, I remember spelling it as “ballay” until I was corrected by a girl in my class), but my father signed me up. I was so excited when we went to Malabar to buy my slippers, black leotard, and pink tights, and wore my little outfit around the house constantly. Once the classes started, though, I was deeply unhappy. The teacher criticized my posture constantly, embarrassingly, harshly; she probably knew instantly that dance was not in my future.

There are tiny caves on the island of Sardinia. They’re known as fairy houses or Domus de Janas and were used as tombs by the Ozieri between 3400 and 2700 BC. They’re empty now, sitting alone on mountains and in fields dotted with acacias. The trees here make it look a little like home but it is nothing like home. We drove to Grotta di Nettuno, a stalactite cave near Alghero.

Steven Pan shot model Sojourner Morrell for this moody editorial in Double Magazine , which was styled by Camille Bidault Waddinton . I think the play of textures and layers works really beautifully. The lighting reminds me of Dutch 17th Century paintings. Here is a little more about the brand: “Filly is a clothing company and living concept based in Portland, Oregon.

We have some bittersweet news today. After over four great years of design and blogging at SeeSaw, we have decided to go our separate ways and explore new opportunities. This is a big change, but we're excited for what's in store.
