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. Shirt: Urban Outfitters Skirt: Nordstrom Rack Boots: […]
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 […]
More Stripes
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 […]
