Had a super busy weekend, which included watching the Perseid meteor shower (it was GORGEOUS!), visiting the Portland Zine Symposium, watching Plan 9 From Outer Space in a park with live music and acting (super funny), brunch, baking, sewing, and visiting the Alberta Street Fair. Row 1: $1 mirrored aviator shades, cat button drawn by […]
Sunday Street Style
Right now it’s way too warm here for some of these looks, but I’m filing them away for later this fall, when tights, boots, and jackets are again required. Top row: Vanessa Jackman, Fashionist Middle row: Stockholm Streetstyle, Urban Weeds Bottom row: Hel Looks, The Sartorialist
Friday Favorites
I’m so excited to share something I worked really hard on. I wrote a post as an Etsy guest curator, called “The Beauty and Mystery of the Night.” It focuses on items related to the upcoming Perseid meteor shower, which peaks tomorrow (Saturday) night. It was great to have an excuse to look at a […]
DIY Polka-Dot Manicure
While perusing the beauty aisle at a local drugstore the other day, I noticed a little polka-dot nail kit. It consisted of two small bottles of polish, and a nail dotting tool. I had no idea such a tool existed, but I immediately wanted to figure out how to make my own. So I went […]

Berry Lime Yogurt Pops
Today it was officially 102°F in Portland, which is the hottest it’s been here in three years. There is no better excuse for making (and eating) frozen treats than weather this hot. Riding around on the hot asphalt, I checked my scooter dashboard and saw this: That’s 105°F, in case you can’t make it out. […]
Outfit Post: Keeping Cool
A hot day like today called for a simple outfit, and this one just happens to be entirely thrifted. Looking at these pictures, though, I think I need to hem the shirt. The thing is, it’s not actually a skirt at all. It’s a dress made for someone about a foot shorter than me and/or […]
DIY Leather Peter Pan Collar
Back in June I linked to this dreamy leather Peter Pan collar tutorial. Soon after I started making one, using the same leather skirt I used for this wristband tutorial. And then partway through I got distracted and put the project aside. Yesterday I found the collar (95% done), and finished it up in about […]
