It’s a time-honored tradition for girls to steal t-shirts from their significant others, though it rarely goes the other way. My husband’s t-shirts are, for the most part, too big and boxy for me to wear. This one, though, is super soft and drapey, and I think I wear it almost as much as he […]
Tutorial: Rope and Wrapped-Thread Necklace
A while ago I made a rope necklace, but this one is quite different and is inspired by a new crop of designer necklaces, which have kind of a techno-tribal feel. Despite the lengthy instructions, these are pretty easy to make yourself, and the best part is that you make them in whatever colors you […]

Outfit Post: Bad Kitty
Recently I’ve come to appreciate the bad-hair-day-hiding capabilities of hats. The top of my hair could be all frizzy and messy, with roots that need some work, but you’d never know thanks to my hat. I knit it a couple of years ago using this pattern, and I’m working on another, this time from this […]

Check out this great tutorial for how to sew your own leggings. To a rhubarb lover like me, this rhubarb milkshake recipe sounds wonderful. I grew up eating raw rhubarb, peeled with salt (only people in my family seem to eat it this way), but it’s just as good sweet as it is savory. Could […]

Philip Lim via Park and Cube 2. Tuula 3. Anthropologie 4. Anthropologie 5. Pinterest The neighbors must have thought I […]

This crystal wallpaper installation by Roger Hiorns is nothing short of amazing. These raspberry truffle brownies look delicious, and bonus, they’re vegan! I love this tree table project from Camille Styles. If park & cube’s pictures are anything to go by, the ASOS Spring 2012 collection looks divine. This hand-stamped Valentine picnic set would be […]
Spring 2012: Minty Fresh
Lately I’ve been taken with the pretty pastel shades popping up everywhere for spring. I made a Pinterest board to catalog the looks I love, and I noticed a lot of mint. Which is not surprising, considering that I love both the flavor and the color of mint (just look at my blog header and […]
Free Space Valentine’s Day Printable Cards
I’m pretty excited to share this little project that I’ve been working on. In honor of Valentine’s Day next week, I made these printable cards for you to give to anyone who appreciates a little silly romantic sentiment. Only two of them actually say anything about Valentine’s Day, though, so there’s no reason the other […]
