Looking at street style shots from San Francisco on The Fashionist reminded me of one of the reasons I’m glad to be back in Portland: Real Summer. Summer weather where you actually sweat and can wear cute little sundresses without freezing, as opposed to the many layers that the lady on the top left is […]
Sunday Street Style
I love all the looks this week, but I have to admit that my favorite is the lady in the pink suit. It’s so unexpected and awesome, especially with the earrings (go see the full-size version). Hooray for pink androgyny! Top row: Dam Style, Elle Street Chic Middle row: Thefashionist, Fashionistable Bottom row: The Locals, […]
DIY Lace Top Tutorial
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Lately I’ve been seeing lovely lace tops around the internet, and it occurred to me that I could make one using this lace I’ve had in my stash. It’s actually lace I bought to use on my wedding dress, but I ended up not liking how it looked, so I’ve […]

DIY Leather Studded Wristband
Last weekend I came across this lavender leather skirt and realized it was perfect for cutting up and using in craft projects. It’s a size XL, so there’s plenty of material; it’s slightly damaged (it has a pen mark), so I don’t feel too guilty about destroying it; and it was only $2. This is […]
