There are few things in life more girly and self-indulgent than fun manicures. Nail art seems to be enjoying a resurgence these days, so here are ten nail looks I love, all of which you can do yourself with supplies from the drugstore. Perfect for a rainy weekend, like the one we seem to be […]
Climb Every Mountain
On Etsy I belong to a team of sellers called “Astro&Neutrino” that has a science theme. My galaxy-print scarves fit right in. They had a challenge to create a treasury based on the theme “exploration,” and there were already a couple that went in the space and underwater direction, so I decided to make mine […]
The grass is always greener
I think I found my new default outfit photo spot: this weird little area behind my apartment building, which is all nice and mossy and green right now. I’m just trying not to think about the fact that it’ll be covered in snow and ice soon. P.S. I’m working on a new blog banner, so […]

Peek-a-boo
This is one of those dresses I’ve been living in this summer. It looks simple from the front, but the peek-a-boo cutout back adds a little visual interest and ventilation. And it’s denim, so it goes with nearly anything. It’s kind of embarrassing how much I’ve been wearing this dress, actually. Not bad for a […]

So I decided to share six trends I’ve noticed that should be pretty easy to find at thrift stores. Saturated Separates Yigal Azrouel, Karen Walker, Yigal Azrouel, Alberta Ferretti […]
