Happy Halloween! I keep coming across great Halloween decor ideas that I wish I’d seen earlier. Like these soda bottle bell jars, or these candle-holders made with x-rays. Oh well, I’ll just file them away for next year. Loving this stamped shirt from Whimseybox. It is definitely making me want to learn how to carve […]
DIY: Lacy Skirt Makeover
When I found this skirt in a thrift store, it was nice, but pretty conservative and a bit boring. It had a lovely lace hem, though. Recently I had seen a couple of examples of lacy cutouts on the bottom edge of a skirt, so I decided to accentuate that aspect of my skirt. Left, […]
Sunday Street Style
I was trying to figure out if anything ties this set of street-style picks together, and I realized that they all contain an element of the unexpected. From an unusual hat, to a bright shoe or scarf, or even a shorn head, all of these looks managed to surprise me at least a little. And […]

DIY Halloween Manicure
With some of the leftover decal paper from my cat nails, I decided to do some Halloween nails. I painted eight of my nails black, and then painted the remaining two white and added spooky decals. My friend Karla volunteered to model a whole hand worth of decals, so we put skulls and skeletons and […]
