Did you know that Pi(e) Day is coming up on March 14 (3/14)? If you’re not familiar with that very nerdy holiday, it’s the celebration of the mathematical constant, π, or the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, which comes out to be 3.14 (plus a lot of other numbers). Given the name […]
Sunday Street Style
I think my picks this week are all proof that the right accessories can really take a look to another level. Without their cute hats, scarves, sunglasses, and bags, these ladies wouldn’t be nearly so stylish.

Outfit Post: Stolen
It’s a time-honored tradition for girls to steal t-shirts from their significant others, though it rarely goes the other way. My husband’s t-shirts are, for the most part, too big and boxy for me to wear. This one, though, is super soft and drapey, and I think I wear it almost as much as he […]
Tutorial: Rope and Wrapped-Thread Necklace
A while ago I made a rope necklace, but this one is quite different and is inspired by a new crop of designer necklaces, which have kind of a techno-tribal feel.

Outfit Post: Bad Kitty
Recently I’ve come to appreciate the bad-hair-day-hiding capabilities of hats. The top of my hair could be all frizzy and messy, with roots that need some work, but you’d never know thanks to my hat. I knit it a couple of years ago using this pattern, and I’m working on another, this time from this […]
Links I Like
Check out this great tutorial for how to sew your own leggings. To a rhubarb lover like me, this rhubarb milkshake recipe sounds wonderful. I grew up eating raw rhubarb, peeled with salt (only people in my family seem to eat it this way), but it’s just as good sweet as it is savory. Could […]
