It’s very nearly September, which means back to school, crisp fall weather, and the giant fall fashion issues of magazines. I have to admit that this year, I haven’t been very impressed by the fall fashion I’ve been seeing in print. But it’s easy to forget that the US doesn’t have a monopoly on magazines. […]
Outfit Post: Ikat and Fringe
I can practically feel the days of this summer slipping away, as the heat gives way to breezier weather. So I figured I’d better wear this skirt without tights while I still can. Skirt: Sample sale T-shirt: Don’t remember Boots: Anthropologie Necklace: Made by me Sunglasses: Street fair
Getting in the Mood for Fall: Dear Creatures
Lately I’ve been hearing tons of people say they just “can’t wait for fall,” and that they’re “so ready for summer to be over.” And to be honest, I can’t really see where they’re coming from. I’m not at all ready for the summer to end yet. I’m loving throwing on a sundress and sandals, […]
A Bar Cart of My Own
A couple of months ago I got it in my head that I wanted a vintage bar cart. It was probably a result of seeing too many lovely examples on blogs and Pinterest. Watch out, or I’ll make you want one, too. Left, right Left, right Left, right, center Left, right A fabulous vintage bar […]
Grown-Up Grunge
Lately it’s hard not to notice that ’90s fashion has been undergoing a bit of a revival. This has been especially notable for me, given that my husband and roommates are creating a video game set in the ’90s. We do things like read Sassy and watch My So-Called Life for reference, and naturally the […]
Outfit Post: Trendsetting?
Sometimes I see a new trend and immediately like it, but often I’ll see one that I don’t initially like but which eventually grows on me. Sometimes it’s hard to predict which ones I’ll end up liking, but I’ve been thinking that peplum tops are not one I’ll ever be a fan of. And then […]
Outfit Post: Keeping Cool
A hot day like today called for a simple outfit, and this one just happens to be entirely thrifted. Looking at these pictures, though, I think I need to hem the shirt. The thing is, it’s not actually a skirt at all. It’s a dress made for someone about a foot shorter than me and/or […]
Spaceface!
You know how some designers have a muse, someone who inspires them to come up with new and wonderful ideas? Mine is apparently my cat, Delicious. Last week I joked about making her famous on the internet, but maybe this scarf will make her dreams of internet stardom (…) finally come true. Depending on how […]
Outfit Post: Minty
She doesn’t know it, but I’m determined to make little Delicious here famous on the internet. The only problem is that she doesn’t seem to have any talents other than looking pretty cute. She isn’t obsessed with boxes (though she does like them), and she doesn’t eat any weird foods, but someday we’ll discover her […]
