This skirt is printed with sketchy little drawings of buildings and trees and pretty pastel washes of color, thus the title of this post. I’m sure it’s lost on most people who see me wearing it, but it makes me smile. T-shirt: Nordstrom Rack Skirt: Thrifted Tights: Sock Dreams Shoes: Chie Mihara Necklace: Thrifted Glasses: […]
Links I Like
I still need to do my taxes. Instead I think I’ll just watch this video of a dolphin and cat snuggling over and over. Via Cute Overload. Love this tutorial for a beribboned feather brooch. It would make a great hairpiece, too. These and these ombre tights are gorgeous. I just wish they didn’t cost […]
Out-of-This-World Shoes
At the moment I’m kind of obsessed with images of stars/galaxies/nebula on clothing, so I kind of desperately need these shoes. I mean, as much as anyone who already has at least one pair of shoes “needs” another pair. To get your own custom, hand-painted nebula shoes, head to Etsy. Link via OutsaPop.
Seventies Style
When I first started to see magazines trumpeting the return of 70s style this spring, I was skeptical. I didn’t think I was a big fan of that era’s style. That is, until I realized that I own and have already been wearing this khaki very 70s wrap skirt. And I love striped tops and […]
DIY Feather Necklace
Lately it seems like I am seeing feather jewelry everywhere. It was at Topshop in New York, and Urban Outfitters has a large selection of earrings and a few necklaces featuring feathers. This is my take on a feather necklace, but you could easily use the same technique to make feather earrings instead. In fact, […]
Wedding Projects Progress
While in New York City this weekend I made it to fewer than half the places I intended, but I did accomplish some of my most important errands. We looked at wedding rings at Catbird, but decided that the ones by St. Kilda were daintier than we wanted, so we didn’t go to their shop. […]
Basics
This was a pretty boring outfit until I added my bright pink boots to spice things up. Good thing, too, since it’s been snowing/raining for the last day and I won’t be able to wear these babies again until it’s dry. And who knows when that will be.

NYC Errands
One of the few advantages of moving to Massachusetts is its proximity to NYC. From San Francisco or Portland the trip is an expensive five or six hour plane ride (not counting layovers), but now we can drive there in about four hours. We’re planning to go to NYC this weekend to see friends and […]
Wayuu Taya
It’s too bad I really don’t need another purse, because I’m loving these handmade Wayuu Taya bags from Bona Drag. Each is one-of-a-kind, so you can pick yours out from their selection and be assured that no one will have the same one. They’d go so well with the bright colors that will be everywhere […]
