Angela's Extraordinary Ordinary

"This is a photo of a friend's pup. But to me, it's a clear reminder of what RELAXED really looks like. It's a plain and simple, unpretentious, unfiltered, unscheduled, no agenda moment. (exhale)"

This is a photo of my friend Sung's family. I love everything about this photo. It is so full of nostalgia and culture.

Jessica's Extraordinary Ordinary

"President Roosevelt was a strict diarist, but that's all he wrote the day his wife died."

Take this as a reminder to value and cherish the light in your life.

Gaelyn's Extraordinary Ordinary

"Romantic, flirty, fun and wild and it just so happens that the photo aged pink which makes it even more magical."

Branch Out Flowers

My dear friend Leighsa Montrose has a wonderfully adorable Floral and Event Design business called Branch Out. She has an impeccable eye for color and texture. I worked with Leighsa for two years while I was in design school. She was always giggly and perky with an amazing edge of cynicism. She is truly an inspirational person and I just wanted to share her lovely designs. Enjoy.

Take a look at the world through my eyes

I started this blog because recently I have found myself obsessed with life's simplest things, an adorable couple in a cafe, a haunting old photo, the bustle of a crowd at a farmer's market, the little things that somehow inspire me. This year has been the hardest year of my life. I have found great solace in absorbing the beautiful things and people around me. I hope you will find inspiration in the ordinary things I find extraordinary. Welcome.

Love,
Izzy Zara
