Portlandia Monkey Bread
A Portlandia twist on my favorite breakfast dessert, made famous (in my family) by my Aunt Lois in Golden, Illinois. Portlanders can head to The Stone Cottage in SE Portland and make this sweet treat with an upgraded Vietnamese cinnamon, ground fresh within just 5-7 days.
This super-super-easy recipe is perfect for putting your holiday house guests to work (have them help with cutting + rolling). There's no "messing up" Monkey Bread-- adjust the sugar/cinnamon/butter amounts to taste.
Pair with a hot cup of Stumptown for a perfect Portland brunch!
JULIE'S PORTLANDIA MONKEY BREAD
1-1.5 cups organic Turbinado sugar
~2-3 Tsp freshly ground Vietnamese cinnamon
1 Pkg Trader Joe's ready-to-bake Buttermilk Biscuits (8 biscuits/16oz)
1/2 cup butter (half stick, salted)
In a bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Beat with a fork until mixed thoroughly.
Melt butter (microwave). Drizzle out all melted butter into the bottom of a 9x12 glass baking dish (coated first with a non-stick spray).
WIth scissors, cut each biscuit into fourths (to yield 32 pieces). Place biscuit pieces into the 9x12 dish.
Now they're coated in butter, remove each piece from 9x12 dish and roll around in your sugar/cinnamon bowl to thoroughly coat each piece. Then place back in the 9x12 dish.
Drizzle any remaining melted butter (or add some extra!) or sugar/cinnamon mix over the top of biscuits.
Bake at 350 degrees for 17-19 mins (just adding a couple minutes to biscuit package instructions).
*Shopping Notes:
Vietnamese Cinnamon (aka "the cadillac of cinnamons") = Buy fresh at Stone Cottage herb shop, SE Gladstone at 39th. May substitute a regular baker's cinnamon.
Organic turbinado sugar = Buy at any New Seasons, Zupans, Trader Joe's. May substitute a standard white sugar.

Make your resume move... Use color!
"But what is of great importance to me is observation of the movement of colors."
-Robert Delaunay
Would your current resume move a hiring manager to pick up the phone and call you in for an interview?
Using color in your resume is not only visually appealing to the recipient, it conveys a sense of motion that static, black and white words parked on a page cannot achieve.
The best resume designs feature an appropriate splash of color that reflects individual personality and style. Colorful, custom resumes and cover letters from Vermillion Design are sure to put your job hunt in motion!

No experience? No problem!
Many job seekers with years of work experience have a problem editing down their resume to a single page.
But what do you do if you're a recent grad with a short work history?
Answer: Utilize white space and add creative elements. A unique, eye-grabbing graphic on your resume tells a hiring manager that you are creative and will go above-and-beyond your competition to stand out.
Don't be afraid to go bold with your design! You will get noticed, and when you score that in-person interview you can elaborate on the wonderful qualifications and experience you do bring to the table.

Four pinteresting things...
1. Hell Yeah $1.50 Paper Flower I Bought at Michael's Today Which Instantly Got Pinned to a Hair Tie to Become My New Favorite Random Paper Hair Accessory!
2. I'm pleased to announce I just added this lovely little hanging birdcage decor to my bathroom tonight, thus fulfilling the stereotype of a professional stylist (aka artist) living in Portland, Oregon who just put a bird on it.
2a. Adorable 40% Off Michael's Birdcage is being hung from a skinny chain belt I found in my closet. Cleverrrr!
2b. I love using wardrobe for household decor. In this case, a piano-print scarf hugs the neck of my guitar in my living room. Vintage ties hold up hanging baskets of fruit and also wreaths in my kitchen.
2c. Eventually, I plan on throwing some candles inside my new birdcage. You know, for the two times a year I take a long, nice, relaxing, candle-lit bath. Funny how those never happen as often as they do inside my head. Well, actually, inside my head I live in every loft condo I see on Pinterest, and I come home every night to bubble baths full of body scrubs I made myself from scratch, with my hair in complicated, braided up-dos. *Sigh*
3. Another shot from my (real) bathroom: A candle holder... repurposed into a jewelry + towel holder!
Why yes that is a whiskey shot glass holding my Q-tips.
4. Soooo..... shopping today at Old Portland Hardware & Architecture (seriously, it's like walking into an entire Pinterest store), I looked up to the ceiling and found this fine piece of work. A chandelier, comprised of... oh, that's right: WOLF JAWS.
You know how hipsters everywhere currently have antler decor, whether in real or cardboard fashion? I feel like this chandelier would tear their cardboard antlers to shreds... and then spit it out on their floor.
Once I got past WOLFDELIER [insert scary "dum dum dummm" noise], I basically walked around this local, lovely, quaint, antique home furnishings store for thirty minutes, making indiscernible groaning noises, necessitating not one but three separate employees to come check on me during my shopping experience. I think at one point I was just sitting on an antique toilet, staring... fantasizing about owning these fabulously vintage stain glass windows and doors.
"Excuse me miss, ummmm, do youuu, need some help?"
"Naahhh I'm fine, really, thanks, I'm okay. Just deciding where I'm going to put this lovely turquoise door inside my loft condo..."
*Sigh*

Giving back in Southern Illinois
In high school, I spent two summers as a Volunteer at Carbondale Memorial Hospital. This experience showed me something important: patients do experience joy, even in their darkest days.
SIH is located in the heart of the Midwest, where there is pride and joy in the sense of community that runs deep there. SIH is reaching out to its employees and the surrounding community for their support in building a new cancer center, bringing state-of-the-art treatment to Southern Illinois.
Needless to say, I was honored to design both the SIH Cancer Institute Annual Report and this SIH Foundation employee outreach flyer. Let's bring this project to life!

Together We Roll (without flat tires)
If you take a reeeeeally close look at this TV commercial, you'll see a random, happy, smiling redhead in an orange, striped sweater. (Don't blink or you'll miss it). Well... that random, happy, smiling redhead happens to be me!
Now, I know what you're thinking: "They were short on extras on this shoot, so they just threw in the stylist to pretend to be a satisfied customer."
Wrong!
(Welllll, okay, maaaybe.... but....) I actually *was* a happy, satisfied customer that day-- no fake enthusiasm from this former-cheerleader-turned-professional-stylist-turned-extra. While I was busy steaming shirts and coordinating talent in the wardrobe tent, this Toyota dealership was busy removing a large nail from my tire [seriously, do mean people just drive down the road and throw nails out their window? Second tire-nail removal this year...what the??], sparing me a flat tire on my drive home in my Corolla later that night.
Satisfied Toyota customer, indeed.

Resort 2012
In describing the Hôtel du Cap-Eden Roc in Antibes, Karl Lagerfeld says, "This hotel is flawlessly kept, and there is a different dress code here. One has to dress to match the yachts. It cannot be sloppy."
Dressing to match the yachts? What a cool thought. What is your outfit saying about your immediate environment?
I couldn't afford to rent a U-Haul when I relocated to Oregon two years ago, and have since been collecting yard sale dishes and Goodwill end tables for our gallery-style kitchen and long, narrow living room [bleccgghh]. As a result, my current wardrobe is saying "thrift store chic"... and I'm experiencing the same feelings of bitterness and disgust towards my closet [bleccgghh].
Perhaps I've always been drawn to Resort collections for this reason; who doesn't fantasize about frolicking along the French Riviera, living the life of top fashion designers in 5-star hotels that act as a playground for the rich? I've always said I was born to live on a cruise ship. Warm weather truly brings me to life.
Or maybe it's the ready-to-wear intention of these collections that allows me to instantly picture myself in them (unlike most of the fall/spring shows)?
Insert scene:
Alice + Olivia, Resort 2012
What I'm trying to say is... the 2012 Resort collections are the most inspiring I've seen yet. So when vermillion design *does* become a billion dollar design/styling empire, this girl is heading straight for the shops of Deauville...
Bon Voyage, Goodwill!
[Editor's note: Please. Do yourself a favor and visit style.com so that you, too, can gush over all Resort 2012 collections.]

**sigh**.... yes, Mom, I *am* wearing my sunscreen....
and yes, I am wearing a hat, too- it's actually yellow and matches this cute phone I'm---
Mom, will you please stop worrying that I'll get skin cancer soaking in all this French coastal sunshine?

Congrats to Ike Catrett for his amazing new album release, Shine Brightly. It's getting such great press that he probably won't need his snazzy vermillion design resume anymore... That's a good thing!
Cheers to landing on your feet in Music City USA!
