Way back in February I posted about the Pendleton Portland Collection, and now it’s almost here! I was reminded of it by this LA Times article, which also informed me that it will be available just after Labor Day at select boutiques, websites, and some Anthropologie stores. Lots more photos, vidoes, and interviews are at […]
Pink Patent
The other day I saw these shoes (via Creatures of Comfort) and started thinking about what a perfectly wonderful and reasonable addition to my closet patent pink brogues would be. They’d really be quite versatile, don’t you think? You could wear them with pants and go for a simple, almost preppy look… 1. McQ Cropped […]
Neon Painted Jewelry DIY
Remember my super chipped pink neon nailpolish I posted the other day? Part of my reason for buying that color, other than thinking that it would look cool on my fingers, was for a DIY. I don’t remember where I first saw the idea, but painting rhinestone jewelry with neon nailpolish is something I’ve been […]
The Great Outdoors
I really should take more pictures outdoors, shouldn’t I? They’re always so much better than the indoor shots. The problem is that I have no dedicated photographer, and I’m shy about setting up a tripod outdoors to photograph myself with other people around. If I had a yard it would be perfect, but alas, I […]
Cat, I’m a kitty cat
This weekend we went to NYC, where we did all sorts of fun things. Among them was visiting Artists and Fleas, where I found this lovely dress from Cora. It was really the print that got me, I guess because I’m a cat lady at heart. In case you can’t tell, it’s little cats playing […]
My DIY Heart Shoe Clips
Recently I came across these shoes worn by one of Vanessa Jackman‘s street-style subjects. I think they’re a pair of those plastic shoes by the brand Melissa. They reminded me of these shoe clips by ban.do: Naturally, my mind turned to DIY options, so when I was cleaning up my craft supplies and came across […]
Friends
This weekend Steven and I decided to go sit in a nearby park and read. I wore my newly-studded shoes to make sure I had installed the studs properly so that they didn’t poke my feet (they were fine). I also wore a vintage dress I bought in Portland. It needed some small repairs, including […]
My DIY Studded Converse
This weekend I took the most beat-up of my two pairs of thrifted Converse… added some silver studs… and ended up with a fun new pair of shoes. I won’t tell you this one was quick. Adding all of those studs by hand took quite awhile, and in this heat, I was sweating by the […]
Feathered Wedding Hairpiece
In my last post I mentioned the headpiece I made to go with my veil, and here’s the reveal. I knew I wanted to use a vintage rhinestone brooch, so I searched high and low for one I liked and finally found this one in a shop in Portland (3 Monkeys, which I didn’t even […]
