Lately I’ve been seeing some super cute cutout collars on dresses, and last week I decided to make a t-shirt version. Here’s how to make your own.
Getting in the Mood for Spring: A.P.C.
Known for their simplicity and classic French sensibility, A.P.C. hits that nail on the head with their spring/summer 2013 collection. The accessories are especially great–those bags and sunglasses are just perfect. The combination of clean design with a little bit of retro flare (I’m getting a definite ’70s vibe, especially from that circle skirt and […]
DIY Bracelet Fastener
Last week I made myself this handy little bracelet fastening tool. I vaguely remember seeing commercials for some version of this type of tool on tv, and I recall that they prominently featured old ladies. So I feel a little bit like a grandma for using this, but it’s totally useful. I don’t always have […]
Outfit: Polka Dots and Lace
I think today’s warmer temperatures and sunshine got to me, because I’m covered in lace, polka dots, and pale colors.

Shirt: Target Jacket: H&M (old) Jeans: Thrifted Shoes: Frye […]

Spiced Maple Walnuts, Cranberries, & Blue Cheese Salad
One thing I love is a big green salad. I know, I’m weird. But I love how fresh they are, and how easy to throw together when you don’t fee like cooking. Plus, they’re super good for you (as long as you don’t slather them in bacon and ranch dressing). This is one of my […]

If you need to get organized (story of my life!), you might want to print out some of these cute (and free) labels. If you haven’t had your fill of chocolate lately, how about some Guinness pretzel truffles? The sweet and salty combo sounds amazing. I have a bad habit of letting my sunglasses get […]
