To my American readers, happy (post) Thanksgiving! This week I got caught up in Thanksgiving preparations, since we were hosting a small dinner at our house. Though we made a vegetarian meal, it turns out that even without a turkey, cooking a feast is a lot of work. So we did a lot of relaxing […]
Imaginary Outfit
The more I stare at this outfit, the more I love it. It looks so perfectly cozy, and those black biker boots and rose gold watch are definitely going on my wishlist. As for the sweater, all it would take is a roll of sequin trim and some hand-sewing quality time to make your own […]
Outfit Post: Seasonally Confused
While we were traveling, the seasons decided to change for real, meaning that I definitely didn’t pack enough sweaters. In New York it snowed a few days after we left, and back home in the Pacific Northwest, the winter drizzle started. Because we were on the road and overseas, the change kind of caught me […]

Thrift Scores: Back to School Shopping
No, don’t worry, I’m not actually going back to school. I’ve had quite enough of that, though I wish someone would tell my subconscious, because I still have those terrible dreams where you discover you’re signed up for a class you never attended. The worst. Anyway, anxiety dreams aside, shopping for a new school year […]
