I think I’ve had a minor feather obsession for as long as I can remember. When I was a little kid I would pick up feathers that I found outside, but my mom told me that they were “dirty” and that I could catch diseases from them. This was before the days of bird flu, […]
Spotty
No doubt due to the influence of the J.Crew catalog that landed in my mailbox recently, I’ve had polka-dots on the brain lately. Naturally I’ve got some DIY projects in mind, but I thought first I’d round up some inspiration. 1. J.Crew 2. Nasty Gal 3. Anthropologie 4. Keds for Madewell 5. Loeffler Randall 6. […]
Sunday Street Style
Sometimes there are themes that tie my picks together, sometimes there aren’t. This week the only one I could find is putting your hand on your head. Apparently it makes you look more stylish. Dogs and motorcycle helmets have the same effect. Top row: Streetstyle Aesthetic, The Sartorialist Middle row: The Locals, Stockholm Streetstyle Bottom […]
Ginger Lime Pomegranate Cocktail
Happy Friday! Friday evening seems like the perfect time to share a cocktail recipe that I came up with. Recently I tried a recipe for Jamaican ginger beer from the book Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It. It’s super delicious but also super spicy, so much so that if I’m drinking it straight up I […]
Spaceface!
You know how some designers have a muse, someone who inspires them to come up with new and wonderful ideas? Mine is apparently my cat, Delicious. Last week I joked about making her famous on the internet, but maybe this scarf will make her dreams of internet stardom (…) finally come true. Depending on how […]
Links I Like
Today I was modeling some new products for my shop (more on that in a day or two), and I was trying to come up with a way to wear my hair that would look good with a scarf. I remembered that every time I see Keiko Lynn in a scarf she looks adorable, and […]
Sunday Street Style
Lots of muted colors caught my eye this week. I’m especially loving the mix of black and blue. It’s a perfect backdrop for an unexpected dollop of color in the form of red lips, bright sunglasses, or a neon bag.

Lemon Vodka Raspberry Cream Pop
In a recent post about things I want to do this summer, I mentioned making popsicles and other frozen desserts. So far I’ve tried a couple of recipes, and this one is by far the winner. These are creamy and lemony and, with the hint of vodka, they feel like a grown-up version of a […]
DIY Denim Cut-Offs
Recently I decided that I needed a pair of simple denim cut-off shorts to help me enjoy the summer weather. But finding a pair I liked wasn’t so easy. I scoured thrift stores for the perfect pair before I finally realized I’d need to DIY (of course!). These are the shorts I started with: First […]
