The Anthropologist: Wisdom

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

Anthropologie is the center of all things lovely. It’s the ching. I mean really, they can do no wrong. The world is a flutter with the opening of BHLDN, but my favorite Anthropologie off shoot is The Anthropologist. This site is devoted to the stories of the artists that they carry or that inspire them. I’m absolutely obsessed. One of my favorites was a piece they did on Andrew Zuckerman. Here’s a portion of his video called Wisdom. It’s an amazing project. If it doesn’t inspire you, you may not be alive.

Inspired

Monday, February 7th, 2011

Follow Your Forte isn’t just about spot lighting inspiring people, but a place to share inspiring things as well. You know, that picture that makes your heart flutter, or that song that gives you chills, or that blog that’s so hilarious you just have to share. I like things like that. Let’s start sharing some, shall we?

Mrs. Lilien is a blog slash website slash girl that I am completely obsessed with. I love staging and styling shoots. It’s my goal to do it professionally someday, but until then- I’ll just “ooooo” and “ahhhh” over Mrs. Lilien’s spectacular style.

Enjoy my friends, enjoy.

Nicole Coelho :: Royal Rabbit

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011

I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about Nicole Coelho and Royal Rabbit around town. I finally had the privilege of meeting her at an event over at Dom Blu in Fig Garden. I love this girl. She’s full of sass and spunk and busts her little behind to make her company and her brand the best it can be. We had a lot of fun the day she came over to interview. She’s so driven and inspiring. Watch the video to get a little more up close and personal with Nicole!

Reza Assemi :: Broadway Lofts

Monday, January 24th, 2011

Reza Assemi is the man behind a lot of the cool development happening downtown. I get SO excited going into work everyday because it seems like lofts and businesses are going up all over the place down by our studio. Check out our video interview with this cool cat and let us know what you think about the development happening downtown!

P.S.- Yes I stuttered when I said “development”
No, I’m not pregnant even though my bulging sweatshirt pockets would imply otherwise
And Yes, that constant squeaking is because of the battery-less smoke alarms that could not be turned off…
