If you live in Portland OR., and you read this blog, chances are you know about Beam & Anchor—a vast brick and mortar store in North Portland that champions local artisans and well-crafted goods. The store opened in late 2011 after Jocelyn Rahm and her husband Robert decided life was too short not to pursue their dream. I'm dying to see it with my own eyes, it's definitely on the top of my to-do list for Portland, second to hanging out with Jocelyn Rahm!If not in Portland, I would live in...Big Sur.
My dream vacation would be...India, Nepal, Thailand and Bali in a month.     My current obsessions are...
Food: Going with the seasons, it would be hearty stews with lots of organically-grown veggies and persimmons with everything.
Music: The newest from Phosphorescent and James Vincent McMorrow (with a touch of Chris Brown and Drake for counter-balancing purposes).
Fashion: My favorite outfit to rock right now is my Beatrice Valenzuela moccasins, old Levi's, a vintage Kiriko kimono and Tiro Tiro bling.
Retail Stores: General Store, Joinery, Esqueleto, Imogene + Willie (now in Portland!!).
