When I went outside to take outfit photos the weather looked fine. Two minutes later it started pouring so hard I gave up and went back inside. Then the sun came out and it looked like the rain had stopped, so I tried again, and got this. You might also note that I’m wearing boots […]
DIY Half and Half Chain and Bead Bracelet Tutorial
The other day I got in the mood to make some new jewelry, and I came up with these half bead/half chain bracelets. I like the mix of materials, and they look especially good with several other bracelets. Plus, there are endless variations, as you can see. I made several versions with different types of […]
DIY Mint Rhinestone Necklace Makeover
Yesterday I decided to give one of my necklaces a makeover. Previously I painted this rhinestone necklace with neon nail polish, but I removed the paint with nail polish remover (it came right off!), and gave it a coat of mint. If the color looks familiar, it’s the same one I used to paint these […]
DIY Detachable Collar Spikes Tutorial
This tutorial is for the indecisive types out there. Like me. I bought a shirt to add spikes to the collar, and then I couldn’t decide which spikes to use. I was also worried that I’d eventually get tired of the spikes or that it would look horribly dated once the trend had run its […]
Friday Favorites
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 This week I’m loving black and white with pops of pink. It’s also gotten cold around here, so cozy knits are essential to stay warm. And how could I resist a cat umbrella? Impossible! Happy Friday! Hope you have plans for a great weekend.

When I clicked through to the rest of the lookbook, I found the mix of colors and patterns really intriguing. And the […]
Outfit Post: Gothy
This outfit is a little bit out of character for me, but the truth is that I just felt like wearing a maxi dress, and I only have two (this one and one in leopard print). I threw on my DIY body chain, and I realized I really liked how it played against the wide […]
Getting in the Mood for Fall: Attic and Barn
The more I look at the pretty dresses and cozy layers from Attic and Barn, the more I’m convinced that the end of summer isn’t so bad after all. The looks are definitely ’90s, but in a good way. Now excuse me while I go canvas my local thrift stores for some combat boots and […]
Outfit Post: Leopard-Print and Heavy Metal
When I saw these brand-new leopard-print jeans in my size at my local thrift store, you better believe I snatched them up. But before I got to the register I began to question whether I would actually wear them. It’s one thing to see how cute leopard-print jeans look on Kendi, but another to actually […]
