It seems perfectly appropriate for Autumn to match your building’s bricks, doesn’t it? Despite this weekend’s wintry weather, the seasons haven’t officially changed yet, so I’m hanging onto Fall for as long as possible. Dress: H&M Cardigan: Target Everything else: Thrifted Also, Happy Halloween from “A Friendly Ghost” that apparently lives in my building. Spooky!
DIY Foldover Leather Clutch Purse
If you want a foldover leather clutch, you could buy a designer one for a pretty penny. Or you could easily make your own. Mine is made with leather from a mini-skirt I bought at one of my favorite San Francisco thrift stores for $1. It was perfect for this restyling project. Combing the skirt and […]
Outfit post: Magical Powers
Now that my hair is long enough, I’ve been trying out new updos, starting with a topknot. I’m also trying out the new necklace I made, which resulted in a girl accusing me of either trying to repel witches, or being a witch. I think I’d rather be a witch, seeing as they’ve got magical […]
DIY Tiny Terrarium Necklace
This necklace has been in the back of my mind for a long time now, but when I was going through my craft supplies to find the crystals for the crystal boutonniere tutorial I came across these tiny glass bottles. Sometimes I think I’m a craft supply hoarder, but the fact that I was able […]
Dress Transformation

If you’ve been following my blog for more than a couple of months, you might remember that I got married in July. Ever since then I’ve been waiting to share the professional shots from the wedding. We still don’t have the high-res images (not really sure why…the photographer is not communicating), but I snagged some […]
Buttons
Lately I’ve been working on new nebula scarf designs for my shop, and trying to come up with the perfect packaging and swag for my scarves. I ordered some buttons to give out with orders, and they arrived the other day. Personally I usually glance at business cards and then throw them out, but I […]
Outfit Post: Feeling Blue
I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve had this thrifted dress sitting in my closet for well over a year, waiting for the perfect occasion to wear it. But right now everything about it feels so perfect–the cobalt color and the mid-length are both very hot right now–that I decided I don’t need an occasion. Plus […]
DIY Sequin Collar
The month leading up to Halloween is both the best and the worst of times when it comes to thrifting. The best, because thrift stores put out vintage stuff that they’ve been holding back for the rest of the year, but the worst because they tend to jack up the prices and the thrift stores […]
