Although this skirt has made plenty of blog appearances, I don’t think I’ve shown off this top. It is my souvenir from Paris, and I bought it in 5 minutes on the way to the airport. I saw it in a shop window, went, “Hey, that shirt is ridiculous and awesome,” ran inside, tried it […]
Pendleton Portland Collection
Growing up in Oregon, I was used to seeing Pendleton jackets and blazers on very uncool middle-aged parents (when they weren’t wearing Columbia fleece-lined waterproof coats). For the last three seasons Pendleton has done collaborations with Opening Ceremony, putting them on the fashion radar. Now they’re releasing “The Portland Collection” for Fall 2011, presumably for […]
Max Leopard
I really like this H&M dress, but I wish it were about 8 inches longer so it actually grazed my ankles. I’ve been thinking about making a jersey maxi dress out of some printed jersey I bought at a San Francisco fabric shop last year, and with the addition of some length I think that […]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Lately it’s been all over the internet that Anthropologie was launching a bridal site, BHLDN, on Valentine’s Day. Though they’ve been doling out sneak peaks to blogs they deemed worthy, today the shop finally went live and I got to see for myself what all the fuss is about. While I think I would have […]
Driftwood Lamp
As soon as I get my hands on a suitable piece of driftwood, I’m going to be making one of these amazing lamps using these instructions. Anyone know a good beach to hunt for driftwood near Cambridge, MA?
Bland
Usually shopping is fun. I poke around, try stuff on, and if I’m lucky end up with something I love (and if I’m extra lucky it’s on sale). But yesterday I had to go shopping for the most boring thing in the world: a black suit. Now maybe if I was going for a Marlene […]
Mara Hoffman
I know I’ve posted about Mara Hoffman before, but I just love her designs, and last week I got an email from Bona Drag about her new items in their shop. Of course I had to look, and I became enamored all over again. Her prints are just so amazing. This fantastic bikini makes me […]
Black and Blue
This isn’t actually my hat, it’s Steven’s that he bought for his half of our Bonnie and Clyde Halloween costumes. So it’s a little big on me, but it does the job of covering up my less-than-stellar hair day. I think I was also in a hat mood because we started watching Deadwood the other […]
Color Therapy
With the skies gray and the ground covered with snow, I decided I needed some color in my life via my outfit. I think the hat lends it kind of a Russian folkloric vibe. Plus it helps me stay warm in this sub-10-degree weather we’ve been having. Seriously, it’s not supposed to be that cold […]
