::when i'm not designing or collecting vintage::

This post is little off my normal topics.

I got chills watching Felix jump off that capsule's ledge. I loved that people from all over the world tuned in to the same live feed to see incredible reality TV, and it's pretty cool to see skydiving get some much publicity. Figured it was a good time to show you guys more of what Jay and I do from time to time.


My company had a talent competition recently, and Jay put together this little video for my entry. The thing I enjoy most about it (and what keeps me jumping) is definitely that I get to fly with him and make memories in the sky. Plus, the view is pretty nice from 13,000 feet.

Have you ever jumped?

::thrilling::

It's true, I've been jumping out of planes on the regular lately. It's almost as addictive as Pinterest...almost. Besides being thrilling, J is up there with me and the view is always incredible.

Have you ever been skydiving?

::Project ReStyle // logbook::

For this ReStyle I decided to spruce up a boring logbook.

I've had this pretty, hardcover journal laying around for a while with hopes to use it as a sketchbook. It's the same size as my skydiving logbook, so...

First, I started by removing the journal pages with an X-acto knife. I wanted to make sure to keep the cranberry-colored paper inside the front and back cover.

I ran a piece of ribbon through the logbook spiral and tied it around the hardcover. I didn't trust just using the ribbon, so hot glue reinforced the hold to the binding.

...that's it!

::monday blues::

I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking Monday came too quickly. J and I got more skydiving in {seriously, I never thought I'd get so hooked} that took of most of Saturday, and again kept to last weekends plans. A relaxing Sunday consisting of boat, BBQ and a bonfire...with some shopping squeezed in there too!

It was so much fun playing with the camera as the leaves burned up in the air. The slow shutter speed made for some really neat photos.

::out & about::

The weather has been beautiful the past few days here {apologies to any of you who aren't experiencing the same}. I've made it a priority to spend as much time outdoors as possible. Perhaps a skydive or two. And hopefully I can get some sun, after being layered up for months, to wear pretty dresses like these.

::jumping out of planes::

I know, completely unrelated to vintage, art, fashion, interior design and other pretty things I post here, but that's what blogs are for. For Christmas I gave J a GoPro Helmet Hero to record our adventures. He jumped out after me-- {he's been chasing me for years ;) }



Crazy, right?! My favorite part is J fixing his bow tie-- keeping it classy in a tuxedo shirt.
