Love this tutorial for how to make a photorealistic pouch. I bet you could use the same technique to make all kinds of fun bags and pouches. I really want to make some of these baked doughnuts, but I need a special occasion as an excuse to have so much delicousness around the house. Even […]
Spring Dresses
A couple of days ago I saw a post from Sally Jane Vintage about Dahlia dresses. They’re exactly what I’d love to wear this spring. Those polkadots and cute little Peter Pan collars are killing me. And the color palette is wonderful, too. These rompers, or “playsuits,” as they call them, are super cute, too.
iPad Case
Recently Steven bought himself an iPad, which I am actually using right now to write this post. He has mostly been using it only at home, but I decided that it needed something to protect it from scratches in case he did decide to take it someplace. And also to protect it from our cats. […]
Ketchup and Mustard
Although this skirt has made plenty of blog appearances, I don’t think I’ve shown off this top. It is my souvenir from Paris, and I bought it in 5 minutes on the way to the airport. I saw it in a shop window, went, “Hey, that shirt is ridiculous and awesome,” ran inside, tried it […]
Advanced Layering
(Photo from NYFW, style.com) I’m intrigued by this wrist-layering so much that I started making myself an embroidery thread friendship bracelet. Despite having made plenty of them as a kid I needed a refresher, and I found these and these instructions helpful. Maybe I’ll make one of these necklaces, too, while I’m at it. Hope […]
Pendleton Portland Collection
Growing up in Oregon, I was used to seeing Pendleton jackets and blazers on very uncool middle-aged parents (when they weren’t wearing Columbia fleece-lined waterproof coats). For the last three seasons Pendleton has done collaborations with Opening Ceremony, putting them on the fashion radar. Now they’re releasing “The Portland Collection” for Fall 2011, presumably for […]
Max Leopard
I really like this H&M dress, but I wish it were about 8 inches longer so it actually grazed my ankles. I’ve been thinking about making a jersey maxi dress out of some printed jersey I bought at a San Francisco fabric shop last year, and with the addition of some length I think that […]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Lately it’s been all over the internet that Anthropologie was launching a bridal site, BHLDN, on Valentine’s Day. Though they’ve been doling out sneak peaks to blogs they deemed worthy, today the shop finally went live and I got to see for myself what all the fuss is about. While I think I would have […]
Driftwood Lamp
As soon as I get my hands on a suitable piece of driftwood, I’m going to be making one of these amazing lamps using these instructions. Anyone know a good beach to hunt for driftwood near Cambridge, MA?
