What I Wore: Mixing Pinks
When I was a little kid, I had very definite ideas about what I wanted to wear, and they did not include dresses or skirts. On special occasions my parents would force me to wear a dress, and I would always put up a fight. I also thought it was important that things matched perfectly. […]
DIY Pet Teepee
A couple of years ago, this guy I knew used to call me a crazy cat lady. I denied it (they’re single and have waaaay more cats than I do), but these days I’ve embraced my inner cat lady. I mean, when you cover your fingernails in cat decals, it’s kind of obvious that you […]

While helping my mom clean out her […]
DIY Inspiration: Collage Necklaces

What I mean by that is necklaces that appear to have been assembled from disparate vintage (or reproduction vintage) elements. I really like the effect, so I’m thinking about ways to make a DIY version. 1. Roberto Cavalli 2. Anthropologie […]
