I can’t remember whether I’ve posted this skirt before or not. It’s super cozy and I love the vertical stripes. Plus it’s great for twirling! Shirt: Thrifted, collar added by me. Tutorial here. Skirt: Buffalo Exchange Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell The shoes are a little DIY project I undertook before leaving San Francisco, but I forgot […]
DIY Avocado Hair Mask
Is your hair suffering from winter weather and indoor heating? Especially after I got back from Arizona, mine was noticeably dry and frizzy, but I was shocked how much softer and silkier this homemade deep conditioner made it. Better hair is the perfect way to celebrate the transition to spring, don’t you think? Materials: Plastic […]
Spring is Sprung
Today being the first day of spring and all, it seems perfectly reasonable to wear a pretty spring dress and daydream about Easter egg hunts. Unfortunately, it was snowing here most of the day, and although it didn’t stick, it was awfully cold. Way too cold for any of these lovely Orla Kiely dresses. Until […]
Links I Like
This hairstyle is so cute, and supposedly easy, but I’ve tried to do it twice now and my hair just won’t cooperate. I think maybe it’s just too thick and short. But you should try it if your hair is more suitable. You are allowed to fail. Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded of these […]
More Green
These green tights have been in my closet forever, but I almost never wear them because I can’t figure out what to wear them with. If there’s one day of the year when green tights are appropriate, however, it’s St. Patrick’s Day. Not that I actually DID anything for the holiday, mind you. I just […]

Brown Butter Sugar Cookies
One thing I did while I was in Arizona was knit this little cupcake, from the book One Skein. I’ve had this book for years and have been meaning to make a cupcake the whole time, but just didn’t get around to it. It turned out that my grandma had the same book, so I […]
Shades of Gray
Although this outfit is all gray and black, I actually added a pop of color in the form of a teal cowl after I took these photos. I also put on my new safety pin earrings. And then I proceeded to leave my apartment, walk 20 minutes to the library, and realize I’d left my […]
Ear Candy
When I saw these Urbanears headphones I spent a while trying to figure out what they reminded me of. And then I realized what it was… jellybeans! Sure, candy tastes good, but everybody knows that the sugar will rot your teeth and the calories will expand your waistline. Some candy-colored headphones, however, would be most […]
