Beneffect

Those who know me well, know that I love to make up words and then casually use them in everyday conversation. One of my all time favorites is 'hometel' which can be defined as a hotel you stay at so frequently and align with the aesthetic enough that it feels like your home... home + hotel.

My newest invention is beneffect! It defines an unplanned side effect of something that has a positive effect. Beneficial side effect = beneffect. :) This little nugget makes itself known in many ways, and recently I felt its relevance when thinking about money and value. If we approach money as a beneffect of creating value in the world our focus and motivation is coming from a deeper and truer place. I'll admit this is a new approach for me, and I'm interested to see what manifests from this mindset. Never underestimate the power of a beneffect.

Eco-Outfit: Modern Jackie O Style

When I think of iconic style, Jackie Onassis always comes to mind. She had such a natural ease in the way she looked chic and pulled together, but never overdone. Her style is classic and timeless, but I thought this look may have transcended time and hints at a more modern and edgy Jackie O. One who lives in Venice, CA and mixes sensibility (the warm cashmere sweater) with a bit of the grit (distressed jeans) from her surrounding environment. Or, maybe she is rolling over in her grave at the thought of this outfit! Either way, this look was perfect for this cool weather we have been having in California.
