Who? Jena Coray, 27

Where? I live in beautiful Portland, OR, a transplant from the high desert town of Reno, NV where it doesn't rain much. I love all the wet here, the green, the clovers and moss, the gray skies- it suits me.

What do you do? I'm a full time blogger over at Modish and I am working on getting an online vintage clothing shop set up called Miss Modish. I'm also an obsessive cat lover, dog mom, loving girlfriend, laughing friend, writer, yogini, spaghetti eater, nature reveler, big dreamer, photographer, clothing horse and a lazy bones.

What inspires you? My surroundings here in Portland, fellow bloggers, art, poetry, MUSIC, fashion and most of all laughter. Not a day goes by without me finding something to laugh (too loudly) at.

Why are you fly? I'm fly because I embrace who I am — the good, the bad and the curly ;). I'm fly because I'm finding a way to do what I love each and everyday and make a living from it. I'm fly because I always get what I want, not with ease, but because I've learned that if you work your butt off, are kind to people and stay true to yourself, things happen. I'm fly because I feel lucky to be living this life.

Advice: Whatever it is in this world you want to do, you can do it. You can make it happen with hard work, with confidence and skill. Keep a smile on your face and your head up through the tough times and just know, you can be whatever you want to be. Oh and, for God's sake, be nice to each other!

Cool Styling

The composition, the model and the pops of bright color on faded neutrals come together to make a wonderful series of photographs. All styled by Rowshana Jackson and photographed by Michael William Paul. Discovered via Clutch.

 

Shoe Clips

My homie Rakia first introduced me to shoe clips in this post, and recently I came across these on Etsy. Very cute and girlie.

Design & Me: I Love My Hair

 
I'm excited to share that I will be launching my new shop to sell the artwork I've been posting about over the last few months. The brand is called I Love My Hair, a celebration of naturally coily hair through art and design. For Design & Me I wrote a little something about the project, read it here.
