If you search Pinterest for “cat sweater,” you get things like this, this, this, or even this. (Ok, I want to link them all, but I’ll stop now.) These make me laugh, but they’re not exactly what I had in mind. Although they used to be an article of clothing only worn by cat ladies, […]
Getting in the Mood for Fall: Bellerose
Bellerose had me as soon as I laid eyes on the owls. Plenty of brands have gorgeous models, great clothes, and clever styling in their lookbooks. But I can’t think of any others with owls and birds of prey in their photos. It helps, of course, that the clothes have such a perfect rich autumn […]
Tutorial: Rhinestone Spike Necklace
I’ve been wanting to make a spike necklace ever since I saw a photo on pinterest of the one this blogger was wearing. This week I finally figured out how to make my sparkly spike necklace dreams come true. Here’s how I did it (and you can, too!) Materials: Chain with large links, at least […]
Fall Trend: Navy Nails
Lately I’ve been craving the darker colors of nail polish I’ve been seeing in magazines and on blogs. I just picked up China Glaze Up All Night, and I love it. It’s actually darker than I was expecting, almost black in some lights, but it’s a great shade. I realized that it almost perfectly matches […]
Sunday Street Style
I just want to stop everything and go find the pieces to recreate the outfit on the girl in the top left. She looks incredibly cool, doesn’t she? If you want to look really stylish (plus warm!), it apparently helps to wear a hat. Going to have to go dig my warm winter hats out […]
Links I Like

They’re all pretty simple, but they have great impact. I can’t wait to try some of them out for myself. These leather studded boot straps look time-consuming, but cool. […]
Spiced Maple Whiskey Cider Cocktail
I’m not really into the pumpkin recipes that I’ve been seeing everywhere now that fall is in full swing. But I’ll take apple pie, apple crisp, or apple cider any day of the week. Apple cider is even better warm, and with whiskey or bourbon. So I whipped up this cocktail using Whippersnapper Whiskey, which […]
DIY: Clip-On Earrings Re-Style
A couple of weeks ago I posted about the colorful, vintage-inspired jewelry I’ve been seeing everywhere. When I found these old clip-on earrings in my jewelry stash, I knew I had the perfect subjects for a makeover. And I turned to my old standby, nail polish, to do the job. I love nail polish for […]
DIY Inspiration: Faux Fur Collars
Now that the temperatures are dropping I’ve been starting to see some very fashionable looks with faux fur collars (and pops of red!). It’s such a cute look, and it would be pretty easy to make yourself a fur collar and stitch it onto a coat. A couple of years ago I made a tutorial […]
