Happy July 4th! Here in the US, that means fireworks and barbeques, and in the Pacific Northwest, it means that maybe summer is finally starting. Lately I’ve been thinking of things I’d like to do this summer, and to help me keep track, I made a list. I figured I’d share because hey, maybe other […]
Retro Summer Pool Party
Recently I came across this gorgeous editorial from the June issue of How to Spend It Magazine. The swimwear styling is divine, though of course you couldn’t actually swim.

Getting Handy
Lately I’ve been living a super glamorous existence. I’ve been doing things like driving around in industrial areas, hoping to score. I spent much of this weekend in the garage, and I visited my local hardware store not once, but twice. Not surprisingly, none of this has done wonders for my manicure. Now before you […]

Really loving Hel Looks this week. Why can’t it always be summer in Helsinki? And judging by my picks this week, I’d better get my hands on some light-colored denim layers to pair with black or white.

Outfit Post: Pastel + Black
I debated naming this post “Big Hair,” because my hair is a bit out of control today. I forgot how big and curly it gets when I shower before bed and let it dry while I sleep. But I decided to focus on the colors instead, since I really like how the black and blush […]
