If you’re looking for something sweet and a little bit indulgent to bake this weekend, these donuts will do the trick. Technically, since they’re not fried, they’re not really donuts (should we call them fauxnuts? Probably not), but they’re circular, with a hole in the middle, so they come pretty close. I made both a […]
Outfit Post: Wine & Paprika
To me, this color combination seems perfect for autumn. And I realized that this dress color is the shade I prominently featured in this Sunday Street Style round-up. But I was surprised when I went outside and realized that it was nearly 80 degrees–kind of warm for a cardigan. Fall seems rather delayed around here, […]
Mara Hoffman and Inspiration
Last week one of my favorite designers, Mara Hoffman, released her fall campaign images. As with nearly everything she does, I loved them. The imagery is just gorgeous. I could barely keep myself from posting them all, but you can see a few more here. The Mara Hoffman “Fall Campaign” Photography: Olivia Malone Styling: Richard […]

Links I Like

This weekend I’m thinking of making these baked apple cider donut holes to celebrate the arrival of fall. These fox applique slippers are amazing. See the DIY […]
Outfit Post: Black and Blue
It finally felt like fall today, which made me want to wear something cozy to stay warm. So I dug this skirt out of the back of my closet and paired it with an old standby, my chambray shirt, and a new find, a necklace from Buffalo Exchange. The long skirt also covered up the […]
September Window Shopping

A cool wooden carved map of Portland 2. This darling printed dress 3. Earrings that remind me of crescent moons 4. A fancy camera bag […]
