Getting in the Mood for Fall: Sessùn
Yesterday we booked plane tickets for a trip later this month that includes a couple of days in Paris and Lyon, so I was excited to take a look at the fall offerings from French brand Sessùn. Their A/W 2013 collection is filled with covetable outfits in rich, jewel-toned shades that look perfect for this […]

Lately I’ve developed the bad habit of stealing from my husband’s closet. It started with his super-soft t-shirts, which he must not mind too much, since today he gave me a pile that he didn’t want anymore. Then I spotted this hat of his, and swiped it to cover up my messy hair. Technically I’ll […]

Although many of the patterns are unisex, it definitely has more projects geared towards men than many […]
Hat Makeover
Remember this hat I found at Goodwill recently? I gave it a makeover! As you can see, I added a piece of black velvet ribbon and a tortoiseshell buckle. The ribbon is secured in several places with a couple of stitches, so I can easily switch it up later if I decide I want to […]

DIY Lightbulb Aquarium Tutorial
Earlier this year I came across marimo (literally “ball seaweed”), which look like cute little balls of moss. They’re actually a type of algae ball from Japan that are popular as no maintenance “pets.” I bought mine in a local plant shop (Pistils), but you can also find them on Etsy. This week I decided […]
