This weekend was a super busy one because Steven’s birthday was on Friday (also Earthday!). First I made him dinner and his favorite kind of cake, carrot. Since I don’t like carrot cake, this is a mini cake, only about 3 or 4 inches wide. I halved the recipe and baked the batter in little […]
This is my favorite outfit lately. It’s super easy, looks cute, and is a great blank slate for my accessories, like this little owl friend. It’s one of several pieces of owl imagery that I forgot to include in my round-up last year. I guess I love owls even more than I knew. I also […]
Walking the Tightrope
This romantic blouse would be the perfect item to spruce up your spring wardrobe, wouldn’t it? It looks great on its own, or it would be lovely over a dress. The shop, Alexandra Grecco, has lots of other beautiful items, from bathing suits to dresses to rompers.
Polka-Dotted
The other day I realized it had been a long time since I’d shared any thrift finds. Normally I just incorporate my haul into my wardrobe without any fanfare. Although I haven’t been thrifting much since I moved, recently I found a couple of things that almost made me do a happy dance in the […]
Tiny Town
This skirt is printed with sketchy little drawings of buildings and trees and pretty pastel washes of color, thus the title of this post. I’m sure it’s lost on most people who see me wearing it, but it makes me smile. T-shirt: Nordstrom Rack Skirt: Thrifted Tights: Sock Dreams Shoes: Chie Mihara Necklace: Thrifted Glasses: […]
Out-of-This-World Shoes
At the moment I’m kind of obsessed with images of stars/galaxies/nebula on clothing, so I kind of desperately need these shoes. I mean, as much as anyone who already has at least one pair of shoes “needs” another pair. To get your own custom, hand-painted nebula shoes, head to Etsy. Link via OutsaPop.
Seventies Style
When I first started to see magazines trumpeting the return of 70s style this spring, I was skeptical. I didn’t think I was a big fan of that era’s style. That is, until I realized that I own and have already been wearing this khaki very 70s wrap skirt. And I love striped tops and […]
Wedding Projects Progress
While in New York City this weekend I made it to fewer than half the places I intended, but I did accomplish some of my most important errands. We looked at wedding rings at Catbird, but decided that the ones by St. Kilda were daintier than we wanted, so we didn’t go to their shop. […]
Basics
This was a pretty boring outfit until I added my bright pink boots to spice things up. Good thing, too, since it’s been snowing/raining for the last day and I won’t be able to wear these babies again until it’s dry. And who knows when that will be.
