only in chaos are we conceivable - RB

I have a deep affection for Roberto Bolano. His anarchist ways and curious yet truthful observations. His rustic and savage looks along side his feverish and crude writing. He says it right. For me at least.

“The truth is we never stop being children, terrible children covered in sores and knotty veins and tumors and age spots, but ultimately children, in other words we never stop clinging to life because we are life.” 

-Roberto Bolano, 2666

Over the past year, I have been restless with the need to create and with no vision of where I should center that energy, much like a child that can't concentrate. I would jump from task to task while taking on another and committing to something else. It wasn't until my friend, Beca, said just do this and let it be your own. And with that came Inks+Thread, granted some of these patterns are collaborations with the talented Beca Lewis and Danielle Tanner. So with pleasure I show you the patterns for the Spring Scarf Collection. They will be available for purchase later in March.

identity crisis

Chattanooga is having an identity crisis. The area in constant struggle amidst this confusion is the weather. A few weeks ago it decided to tease us with threat of snow. Then we were gifted pre-summer weather thus prompting us to take leisure bike rides and break out the shorts. Now we are back in the throws of winter with an omen of snow yet again, it is bound to be another attempt to provoke us with excitement. I prefer the summer heat: not only because I despise being cold but because I can dress myself with ease in warmer weather. I admitted this to Jaime of She Wore It Anyway before we ventured into another outfit post. Naturally, I am dressed for warmer weather so sucking it up for this shoot was necessary.

To see and read about this collaboration visit She Wore It Anyway. More to come as always.
