Outfit Remix: Mad About Plaid
After pairing my plaid shirt with my new short-alls in the previous post, I remembered two remixes I created based around said shirt, but completely forgot about the layout I created for them. So, I dug around in my files for a bit, and finally found it! I think it’s ust a fun way to [...]
My Outfit: Farm Chick
The day I left for Seattle, I quickly swung into Beacon’s Closet and managed to walked out with these fun, sort of eclectic looking short-alls. My first inkling was to play up the traditional country girl look, so I went with it and slipped on my plaid shirt and straw hat for effect. I think [...]
Outfit Remix: Top to Bottom
I first posted about this outfit a few weeks ago and loved the skirt/top so much that I decided to wear it to happy hour drinks with friends. It was a muggy evening and I wanted to make sure I stayed cool, so I slipped the skirt up over my waist—leaving my shoulders bare— and [...]
“Good Day, Sunshine!”
A little eye candy for you while I finish unpacking my embarrassingly large suitcase(s). This is a photo I found on Garance Dore, and I can’t seem to get enough of it. It’s already in my “inspiration” folder on my desktop, but I love it so much that I wanted to make sure you all [...]
Sunny Seattle!
Sorry for the lack of a of post this morning. I was traveling for most of the evening yesterday and slept in pretty late this morning, due to my late arrival time and jetlag. But, now I am up and adam and enjoying the extremely warm weather Seattle is currently experiencing! I will be back [...]
Reader Mail: Meet Linda
Meet Linda. She is a reader and recently wrote in asking me about style advice regarding this little black dress:
“Hello! My name is Linda and I was wondering if you could help me with a bit of a problem. I have this jumper I recently bought and now, I don’t know what to do [...]
Remix: Dreaming of September
Happy Friday, lovelies! First and foremost, I just want to say thanks so much for reading the blog and for all your support and kind words. And, now I give you, the final ensemble! A little background on this outfit: Don’t get me wrong, I love summer, and warm, sunny days. But, when the humidity [...]
Remix: I Heart NY
Here is ensemble #2! Let me tell you, working with acid wash jeans is a challenge within itself. I wanted to give the jeans a completely different look the second time around, but trying to neutralize them and make them look casual was definitely a tricky task. So, in order to do this, I decided [...]
Remix: Stripes and Acid Wash
And, I give you…ensemble #1. This was a fun look to style…so 80s. LOVING IT. Plus, there is something I love about the contrast between the dark, bold-striped top and the sort-of-frenetic, blown-out color of the acid wash jeans. It feels unexpected and fresh. I would wear this to a fun downtown dinner spot or [...]
Remix: Personal Challenge
I have taken on a personal challenge to try and pair these two items—a vintage, leather woven top on loan from Pamela, and acid wash jeans, on loan from Jessica (see how she wore them on her blog!)—together as well as integrate them into outfits I create out of items I already own in my [...]
