Now that my hair is long enough, I’ve been trying out new updos, starting with a topknot. I’m also trying out the new necklace I made, which resulted in a girl accusing me of either trying to repel witches, or being a witch. I think I’d rather be a witch, seeing as they’ve got magical […]
Dress Transformation
Several months before I got married I posted pictures of the $1 flea market dress I was planning to restyle and wear. After I started working on it I actually changed my design several times when I got partway through and realized I didn’t like the direction it was going. Sometimes it’s hard to tell […]
Buttons
Lately I’ve been working on new nebula scarf designs for my shop, and trying to come up with the perfect packaging and swag for my scarves. I ordered some buttons to give out with orders, and they arrived the other day. Personally I usually glance at business cards and then throw them out, but I […]
Outfit Post: Feeling Blue
I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve had this thrifted dress sitting in my closet for well over a year, waiting for the perfect occasion to wear it. But right now everything about it feels so perfect–the cobalt color and the mid-length are both very hot right now–that I decided I don’t need an occasion. Plus […]
Climb Every Mountain
On Etsy I belong to a team of sellers called “Astro&Neutrino” that has a science theme. My galaxy-print scarves fit right in. They had a challenge to create a treasury based on the theme “exploration,” and there were already a couple that went in the space and underwater direction, so I decided to make mine […]
The grass is always greener
I think I found my new default outfit photo spot: this weird little area behind my apartment building, which is all nice and mossy and green right now. I’m just trying not to think about the fact that it’ll be covered in snow and ice soon. P.S. I’m working on a new blog banner, so […]
Imaginary Outfit
Here’s the imaginary outfit I would buy if I got to go on an imaginary shopping spree. Except that I probably wouldn’t actually buy that belt, because even on sale, that’s a ridiculous price for a belt. I’m not about to spend that much even for pretend. Those shoes are another story, though, and the […]
Peek-a-boo
This is one of those dresses I’ve been living in this summer. It looks simple from the front, but the peek-a-boo cutout back adds a little visual interest and ventilation. And it’s denim, so it goes with nearly anything. It’s kind of embarrassing how much I’ve been wearing this dress, actually. Not bad for a […]
6 Fall 2011 Trends to Thrift
When I look at seasonal trend reports, I do so not to search for exact items I want to buy, but for thrifting and styling ideas. So I decided to share six trends I’ve noticed that should be pretty easy to find at thrift stores. Saturated Separates Yigal Azrouel, Karen Walker, Yigal Azrouel, Alberta Ferretti […]
