True story: the second time I wore this top, I wore it inside-out the whole day. This included activities with other people, and stops in front of a mirror, so I guess it wasn’t really noticeable. I was kind of mortified when I realized it at the end of the day, though. Top: Made by […]
Real Summer
Now that it’s warm enough here for dresses and sandals, I realize how much I missed real summer living in San Francisco. Save for a few random days a year (usually not actually during the summer), it never gets warmer than the 70s there, and even on warmer days there’s usually plenty of wind and […]
Links I Like
Everyone knows that soft vintage t-shirts are one of the most comfortable items of clothing you can wear. Plus, with their faded and aged graphics, they look way cooler than a brand-new shirt.

We were there because we had decided to check out Cambridge Open Studios in the hopes of seeing cool art, but we had quickly realized that it was nothing like […]

Me neither! To make: This cute measuring tape headband. To wear: This amazing ring. Or any of the rest of the […]
Jeans and a Tee
How often do you wear jeans and a t-shirt, and how do you dress it up? I rarely post outfit photos of myself in jeans and a tee, but there’s something to be said for this timeless look. It’s practically the American uniform, though it’s definitely easy to slip from “chic” to “slob” with the […]
