On Etsy I belong to a team of sellers called “Astro&Neutrino” that has a science theme. My galaxy-print scarves fit right in. They had a challenge to create a treasury based on the theme “exploration,” and there were already a couple that went in the space and underwater direction, so I decided to make mine […]
The grass is always greener
I think I found my new default outfit photo spot: this weird little area behind my apartment building, which is all nice and mossy and green right now. I’m just trying not to think about the fact that it’ll be covered in snow and ice soon. P.S. I’m working on a new blog banner, so […]
Imaginary Outfit
Here’s the imaginary outfit I would buy if I got to go on an imaginary shopping spree. Except that I probably wouldn’t actually buy that belt, because even on sale, that’s a ridiculous price for a belt. I’m not about to spend that much even for pretend. Those shoes are another story, though, and the […]
Mixed-Media Bracelet Tutorial
Lately I’ve seen lots of mixed-media bracelets, combining thread or yarn with metal, but this one is inspired by a very specific example. This lovely Marni bracelet was my starting point for this tutorial. It took me a bit of experimenting to figure out how to attach the yarn to the chain. I started out […]
Peek-a-boo
This is one of those dresses I’ve been living in this summer. It looks simple from the front, but the peek-a-boo cutout back adds a little visual interest and ventilation. And it’s denim, so it goes with nearly anything. It’s kind of embarrassing how much I’ve been wearing this dress, actually. Not bad for a […]

Labor Day
Yesterday was my birthday, so to celebrate, I did the following: 1. Talked to family and friends and received many nice birthday wishes. 2. Opened a birthday present, my pretty new headphones. 3. Read the adorable birthday card Steven drew for me. His hand-drawn birthday cards are the best. (My favorite cat is definitely the […]
Little White Dress
I know I haven’t been posting many outfits lately, and this is mostly because I’ve been wearing the same stuff over and over. Living in San Francisco meant that most of my wardrobe was geared for temperatures in the 50s-70s, and it’s been in the 80s or 90s for a lot of this summer. So […]
Links I Like
You may have heard about this little hurricane we’re having on the East Coast? She’s called Irene, and she’s due to hit my neck of the woods tonight and tomorrow. If you’re in her path and still have electricity, here are some links that might help you pass the time while you’re waiting for the […]
