This outfit is a little bit out of character for me, but the truth is that I just felt like wearing a maxi dress, and I only have two (this one and one in leopard print). I threw on my DIY body chain, and I realized I really liked how it played against the wide […]
Outfit Post: Wine & Paprika
To me, this color combination seems perfect for autumn. And I realized that this dress color is the shade I prominently featured in this Sunday Street Style round-up. But I was surprised when I went outside and realized that it was nearly 80 degrees–kind of warm for a cardigan. Fall seems rather delayed around here, […]
Mara Hoffman and Inspiration
Last week one of my favorite designers, Mara Hoffman, released her fall campaign images. As with nearly everything she does, I loved them. The imagery is just gorgeous. I could barely keep myself from posting them all, but you can see a few more here. The Mara Hoffman “Fall Campaign” Photography: Olivia Malone Styling: Richard […]
Outfit Post: Black and Blue
It finally felt like fall today, which made me want to wear something cozy to stay warm. So I dug this skirt out of the back of my closet and paired it with an old standby, my chambray shirt, and a new find, a necklace from Buffalo Exchange. The long skirt also covered up the […]
September Window Shopping

A cool wooden carved map of Portland 2. This darling printed dress 3. Earrings that remind me of crescent moons 4. A fancy camera bag […]
Getting in the Mood for Fall: Attic and Barn
The more I look at the pretty dresses and cozy layers from Attic and Barn, the more I’m convinced that the end of summer isn’t so bad after all. The looks are definitely ’90s, but in a good way. Now excuse me while I go canvas my local thrift stores for some combat boots and […]
Getting in the Mood for Fall: Sessùn
Today is the birthday of my blog, as well as my own birthday! I’m so glad I’m not in school any more, when classes often started on this date. Not to mention that with the excitement of the first day of school, no one in my new classes ever knew (or cared) that it was […]
Outfit Post: Leopard-Print and Heavy Metal
When I saw these brand-new leopard-print jeans in my size at my local thrift store, you better believe I snatched them up. But before I got to the register I began to question whether I would actually wear them. It’s one thing to see how cute leopard-print jeans look on Kendi, but another to actually […]
The Week in Instagram
Summer in Portland is all about the beautiful outdoor weather (to make up for the rain the rest of the year), so this week I went to two outdoor events in the parks and took several long walks. Here are some photos I took along the way. Clockwise from top left: The Hawthorne bridge, at […]
