#ColorColourYellow
I've been inspired by the ever-so-amazing hula seventy and xanthe berkeley to play along with their Color//Colour Lovers weekly roundup. I missed last weeks' start with RED but I did manage to go through my camera roll and dig up enough YELLOW for this week. Next week is PINK and since I'll be out and about in the city a lot, I'm planning on keeping my eye out!
And follow/play along on instagram too! #colorcolourlovers

Charlotte in 5 Pictures
February will mark SEVEN years since I moved to Charlotte for the second time! I can't believe how fast that has gone by. This city continues to grow on me. There are certain things I'll probably always have my reservations about, but I'd feel that way about any place I live. It's easy and cheap to live here, we get all four seasons (five if you count snowy February, bleh), the city is big and there is always something to do, I feel connected, and I dig the variety of people and landscapes (I could live in a country setting in Charlotte just miles from Uptown. Yes please).
Honorable mention: We live on the border of SC so we can get unbelievably cheap gas.

Thing I Remember #1: 2008
Chill out bruh, it's just MySpace. 2008
I'm highly nostalgic and I like lists. Let's combine the two. Welcome to the first installment of Things I Remember. I would have used a better picture but I got a new computer and this was literally, LITERALLY the only picture I could find in a pile of old emails I sent myself as record.

5 Favorites from the Hello Urbanist Shop
After YEARS of inactivity, I started adding items to my online shop. I changed the name from the much-beloved Cosmic Ephemera to Hello Urbanist, to go with what I do. I'm trying to get through what I already have packaged from Vintage Charlotte shows, but I have plans to add a lot of curated collections and I'm excited for the future of the shop!
