Lately it’s hard not to notice that ’90s fashion has been undergoing a bit of a revival. This has been especially notable for me, given that my husband and roommates are creating a video game set in the ’90s. We do things like read Sassy and watch My So-Called Life for reference, and naturally the […]
Outfit Post: Trendsetting?
Sometimes I see a new trend and immediately like it, but often I’ll see one that I don’t initially like but which eventually grows on me. Sometimes it’s hard to predict which ones I’ll end up liking, but I’ve been thinking that peplum tops are not one I’ll ever be a fan of. And then […]

My Weekend in Pictures
Had a super busy weekend, which included watching the Perseid meteor shower (it was GORGEOUS!), visiting the Portland Zine Symposium, watching Plan 9 From Outer Space in a park with live music and acting (super funny), brunch, baking, sewing, and visiting the Alberta Street Fair. Row 1: $1 mirrored aviator shades, cat button drawn by […]

I spotted this amazing sign. Great work, Portland vandals! Harvested a little from our garden. Those are lemon cucumbers. They look […]
Berry Lime Yogurt Pops
Today it was officially 102°F in Portland, which is the hottest it’s been here in three years. There is no better excuse for making (and eating) frozen treats than weather this hot. Riding around on the hot asphalt, I checked my scooter dashboard and saw this: That’s 105°F, in case you can’t make it out. […]
Outfit Post: Keeping Cool
A hot day like today called for a simple outfit, and this one just happens to be entirely thrifted. Looking at these pictures, though, I think I need to hem the shirt. The thing is, it’s not actually a skirt at all. It’s a dress made for someone about a foot shorter than me and/or […]
