If you write a blog then you have probably been in the situation where you have exciting news but you can’t quite go public with it yet. So you have either two options: Keep your mouth shut until the time is right (difficult!), or trickle out little teasers about how you have really exciting news […]
Surrounded by Space
No, I’m not deathly pale, my camera just really didn’t like my black dress and decided to overexpose these photos. I really wanted to show how I’ve been wearing one of my scarves lately, though. I love how it looks looped around my neck like this. It’s a slightly-flawed sample that didn’t make it to […]
Nice Things
I was excited the other day when I discovered that there was a brand new (6th anniversary!) issue of N.E.E.T magazine out. I was even happier when I started (virtually) flipping through the pages. The “Raspberry Thighs” editorial is a gorgeous combination of food and fashion styling that seems like it could be in Lula. […]
The owls are not what they seem
Even though they surely exist year-round, owls are one of those things that are associated with Halloween. So perhaps wearing this owl skirt now is inappropriate, but I’m not ready to move on to Christmas-themed dressing quite yet (or, actually, ever). Owl skirt: Thrifted Jacket: TJ Maxx Shoes: Urban Outitters Bag: Made by me Everything […]
Leaves of Green
Ever since I got the official photos, I’ve been meaning to share a couple of wedding DIY projects that I did for my wedding. I already posted the boutonnieres, but I thought I’d also share what I did for the table centerpieces. It boggles my mind when people talk about spending hundreds (or thousands!) of […]
Outfit Post: Beribboned
I came across this skirt in my closet this morning and decided that today’s drop in temperatures warranted something tweedy. It’s got really cool buttons that have big velvet ribbons sticking out through the holes. I have no idea what era it’s from, but I think someone made it by hand and I’ve never seen […]
New Nebula Scarves!
It’s been a little quiet around here this week, first because of my missing internet, but also because I’ve been working hard on a new batch of galaxy/nebula print silk scarves. I’m trying out some new designs, which I think turned out quite lovely. Here is a peak: “Celestial Fireworks” “Bright Star” “Blue Haze” You […]
Outfit Post: Joining the Club
Last week I went and joined the club of bloggers who wear red pants. To be fair, mine are more of a washed-out salmon-ish color, but they’re close enough that I think I’d still be allowed in the club. I’d been searching for the perfect pair of reddish pants at thrift stores to no avail, […]
Outfit Post: Like a Brick
It seems perfectly appropriate for Autumn to match your building’s bricks, doesn’t it? Despite this weekend’s wintry weather, the seasons haven’t officially changed yet, so I’m hanging onto Fall for as long as possible. Dress: H&M Cardigan: Target Everything else: Thrifted Also, Happy Halloween from “A Friendly Ghost” that apparently lives in my building. Spooky!
