6 Fall 2011 Trends to Thrift
When I look at seasonal trend reports, I do so not to search for exact items I want to buy, but for thrifting and styling ideas. So I decided to share six trends I’ve noticed that should be pretty easy to find at thrift stores. Saturated Separates Yigal Azrouel, Karen Walker, Yigal Azrouel, Alberta Ferretti […]
Sunday Street Style
I usually try to avoid any celebrities or even prominent bloggers in my street style roundups, just because I’d rather celebrate what normal people are wearing, rather than ones who have million-dollar clothing budgets or get tons of free clothes. But I had to include Project Runway winner Gretchen Jones because who knew that a […]
My DIY Bucket Bag
What do you do if you want a new purse, but don’t want to spend the money on it? No, theft is not an option, so if you’re me, you get sewing. I’ve been wanting a black drawstring purse for awhile now, but couldn’t justify dropping the cash. I had bought this black faux snakeskin-textured […]
Sunday Street Style

I don’t remember where I first saw the idea, but painting rhinestone jewelry with neon nailpolish is something I’ve been […]
Sunday Street Style
I’ve noticed that in general my street style picks seem to feature mostly neutral colors, despite the fact that I like to wear non-neutrals. Not sure if that means that my taste is changing, or if the photographers just shoot more neutrals than brights. Probably the latter. Top row: Emma from Streetstyle Aesthetic, Mie from […]
The Great Outdoors
I really should take more pictures outdoors, shouldn’t I? They’re always so much better than the indoor shots. The problem is that I have no dedicated photographer, and I’m shy about setting up a tripod outdoors to photograph myself with other people around. If I had a yard it would be perfect, but alas, I […]
