Now that it’s warm enough here for dresses and sandals, I realize how much I missed real summer living in San Francisco. Save for a few random days a year (usually not actually during the summer), it never gets warmer than the 70s there, and even on warmer days there’s usually plenty of wind and […]
Out of Season
I know this looks like an appropriate outfit for early fall, but it’s from just last week, when it got unseasonably cold here. Like in the 40s. Everyone’s been saying that this winter was especially bad in New England, and that this spring hasn’t been very nice, either, but it finally seems to be warming […]
Discoveries
This weekend Steven and I went wandering around Davis Square, looking for a way to pass the time before his tattoo appointment in the afternoon. We were there because we had decided to check out Cambridge Open Studios in the hopes of seeing cool art, but we had quickly realized that it was nothing like […]
Jeans and a Tee
How often do you wear jeans and a t-shirt, and how do you dress it up? I rarely post outfit photos of myself in jeans and a tee, but there’s something to be said for this timeless look. It’s practically the American uniform, though it’s definitely easy to slip from “chic” to “slob” with the […]

This weekend we worked on some wedding planning. One of the things we still need to do is send out our invitations. Steven and I collaborated on a design, and then he inked and painted it with watercolors. Above is a sneak peak at just the corner of the invitation. We still have to figure […]
Great Lengths
Whenever I wear long skirts or dresses, I get comments from Steven like, “Wow, that’s a long skirt/dress,” and “That dress would be better if it was shorter.” I don’t think he’s a fan of the maxi length. Or are long dresses just man-repellers in general? It’s not going to stop me from wearing the […]
The people have spoken
The voting was 75% in favor of short sleeves on this dress, which was my inclination in the first place, so I chopped them off and hemmed them the other day. I also fixed the fit at the shoulders, and overall it’s quite an improvement. Something tells me I’ll be wearing this one a lot […]
Voting is Open
“More polka-dots?” I hear you saying. I just couldn’t resist this dress at the thrift store, partly because it reminded me so strongly of these from Orla Kiely. Or at least it will hopefully resemble them, by the time I’m done with it. Obviously it needs to be shorter and more fitted in the torso. […]
