After staring at images of stars, galaxies, and nebulae for far too long, I designed this poster. And then I got a fancy new printer to print it out, and it did a really phenomenal job. The colors are all velvety and the lines are super precise, and the paper and inks are archival quality. […]
Outfit Post: In Your Face
This looks pretty daring, with the fluorescent pink bra and all, but even though it was 90 degrees today, when I was out and about I wore the cardigan. While I’m perfectly comfortable with other people wearing cute bras that are meant to be seen, I’m just a little too afraid of attracting undue attention. […]
Retro Summer Pool Party
Recently I came across this gorgeous editorial from the June issue of How to Spend It Magazine. The swimwear styling is divine, though of course you couldn’t actually swim. No, this is for lounging poolside in some glamorous location, drinking cocktails while you work on your tan. The water would just ruin your makeup. June […]
Outfit Post: Secrets
I can’t remember whether I’ve worn this dress in a blog post before, but I don’t think I have. I sewed it a couple of years ago (not sure what pattern, but I could probably figure it out if anyone really wants to know), and recently rediscovered it in my closet. When I put it […]
A Costume Drama
If you’re a Downton Abbey fan (and who isn’t?), you might be excited to find out that Jessica Brown Findlay will be on the cover of next month’s Love magazine. If you don’t recognize the name of the actress, you’ll recognize her by her photo: She plays Lady Sybil, of course. She looks a bit […]
Outfit Post: Pastel + Black
I debated naming this post “Big Hair,” because my hair is a bit out of control today. I forgot how big and curly it gets when I shower before bed and let it dry while I sleep. But I decided to focus on the colors instead, since I really like how the black and blush […]
Pastel
The gorgeous pastel shades in this Marie Claire Australia editorial, A Study in Pastel, have given me a longing to add more pale colors to my wardrobe. And also maybe some little white dogs (just kidding, my cats would hate me). I might settle for a petal pink pair of glasses, or perhaps some pastel […]

I’m off to visit friends and family in Seattle and Vancouver, BC for a long weekend. I’ve been to Seattle several times, but this will be my first time visiting Vancouver, so I’m excited. Any must-see sights in either city? Hope you have a great weekend! *I found this image on Pinterest, but I couldn’t […]
