Have you heard of the site Letters of Note? It’s basically what it sounds like, interesting letters, some of them to or from people you might have heard of. Some are funny, others are poignant or sad, but they’re a pretty fascinating bunch for the most part. When I saw these literary napkins from Anthropologie, […]
We Are All Made of Stars
After staring at images of stars, galaxies, and nebulae for far too long, I designed this poster. And then I got a fancy new printer to print it out, and it did a really phenomenal job. The colors are all velvety and the lines are super precise, and the paper and inks are archival quality. […]
Outfit Post: In Your Face
This looks pretty daring, with the fluorescent pink bra and all, but even though it was 90 degrees today, when I was out and about I wore the cardigan. While I’m perfectly comfortable with other people wearing cute bras that are meant to be seen, I’m just a little too afraid of attracting undue attention. […]

Lately I’ve been thinking of things I’d like to do this summer, and to help me keep track, I made a list. I figured I’d share because hey, maybe other […]
Retro Summer Pool Party
Recently I came across this gorgeous editorial from the June issue of How to Spend It Magazine. The swimwear styling is divine, though of course you couldn’t actually swim. No, this is for lounging poolside in some glamorous location, drinking cocktails while you work on your tan. The water would just ruin your makeup. June […]

These DIY honeycomb shelves from A Beautiful Mess are amazing, aren’t they? Who knew lace and cement would go together so well? Make your own with this easy tutorial. Lately I’ve had fantasies about having a movie night in our backyard (it’d be perfect for it!), and this fun movie marquee project is just fuel […]
Outfit Post: Secrets
I can’t remember whether I’ve worn this dress in a blog post before, but I don’t think I have. I sewed it a couple of years ago (not sure what pattern, but I could probably figure it out if anyone really wants to know), and recently rediscovered it in my closet. When I put it […]
