Mixing patterns + wearing a necklace under my collar? Oh yes, I dared. I think it worked out. I was playing around with some clay the other day and made this teeny tiny pot. I’m thinking I’ll make a tutorial soon. This nailpolish is eye-meltingly neon (photos can’t seem to quite capture it), but it […]
Outfit Post: Denim + Leopard
People tell me that I look totally different when I straighten my hair, and I’m inclined to agree with them. Recently I went to the post office with straight hair and saw a neighbor I’d talked to for about 10 minutes the day before. I said hello, but he didn’t seem to recognize me. One […]

Life in Photos
Today I thought I’d share some photos of what I’ve been up to lately. We stopped by Schoolhouse Electric the other day, mainly because I’d heard so much about it online and just wanted to check it out. As expected, it’s lovely, and full of amazing furniture and styling ideas. Some genius turned this vintage […]
