Body chains that go around body parts typically neglected by jewelry-makers have been trendy in the blogosphere for awhile now, though I’ve yet to see anyone wear any in real life. Despite the abundance of shoulder jewelry and body harnesses in various configurations on blogs and Etsy, I never really thought they were for me […]
Great Lengths
Whenever I wear long skirts or dresses, I get comments from Steven like, “Wow, that’s a long skirt/dress,” and “That dress would be better if it was shorter.” I don’t think he’s a fan of the maxi length. Or are long dresses just man-repellers in general? It’s not going to stop me from wearing the […]
The people have spoken
The voting was 75% in favor of short sleeves on this dress, which was my inclination in the first place, so I chopped them off and hemmed them the other day. I also fixed the fit at the shoulders, and overall it’s quite an improvement. Something tells me I’ll be wearing this one a lot […]
Voting is Open
“More polka-dots?” I hear you saying. I just couldn’t resist this dress at the thrift store, partly because it reminded me so strongly of these from Orla Kiely. Or at least it will hopefully resemble them, by the time I’m done with it. Obviously it needs to be shorter and more fitted in the torso. […]
DIY Pompom Shoe Clips
Lately I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect wedding shoes. One of my first stops was BHLDN, and though I didn’t find any contenders for the shoes of my dreams, I did come across this DIY inspiration. Aren’t they cute? They want $25 for a pair of shoe clips, but you can make them […]
Out-of-This-World Shoes
At the moment I’m kind of obsessed with images of stars/galaxies/nebula on clothing, so I kind of desperately need these shoes. I mean, as much as anyone who already has at least one pair of shoes “needs” another pair. To get your own custom, hand-painted nebula shoes, head to Etsy. Link via OutsaPop.
Seventies Style
When I first started to see magazines trumpeting the return of 70s style this spring, I was skeptical. I didn’t think I was a big fan of that era’s style. That is, until I realized that I own and have already been wearing this khaki very 70s wrap skirt. And I love striped tops and […]
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.

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 […]
