Weekend Proper

Another bonus weekend outfit for you--something I wore when visiting my parents (they always compliment this dress as if it is the first time they've seen it). Their neighborhood is a lovely riot...

Roman Holiday

I try not to feature Audrey Hepburn in all my movie picks (she's not even my favorite actress), but for all the sub-par movies she made the ones that persist and we watch again and again fit...

Realm Of Static Fixity

It is Friday and I'm glad it's Friday because my mind has hit that point where everything sounds like static on the radio and trying to listen more closely just brings on a headache when all you...

Something In A Summer's Noon

"A something in a summer’s Day As slow her flambeaux burn away Which solemnizes me. A something in a summer’s noon — A depth — an Azure — a perfume — Transcending ecstasy. And still within a...

You Say You Love The Rain

We've had a string of rainy days back to back, but I can't complain when it turns everything so rich and green. I wasn't living here last spring, so it's rather fun to see my "usual haunts"...

Spectacle of Miniatures

Endlessly enamored with these hand painted lockets by Khara Ledonne. Each globe contains a tiny, secret world hidden from prying eyes until the locket is opened and its contents revealed. I think...

The Earth Laughs In Flowers

It was calling for rain this day so I set out prepared with my wellies and an umbrella, but the sun broke through the clouds and ended up being rather blinding when I was taking pictures. Still,...

JewelMint Giveaway

This week I'm excited to bring you a giveaway from JewelMint. The winner of this giveaway will receive 3 credits on JewelMint giving them the power to choose up to three of their favorite pieces....

Ritual Dances

I love the ritual of getting dressed up. It usually begins the night before--going through my closet and setting aside what I'd like to wear the next day down to shoes and accessories. Then in the...

Miserable and Worthless

I recently bought the Miserable & Worthless zine and it's so good. It's the sort of thing you have to enjoy with your candy cigarettes, a slash of red lipstick, and cateye sunglasses (indoors)....

All The Old Romantic Legends

Somehow Harrisburg got voted one of America's most romantic cities. Since I went to college a stone's throw away I find that hard to believe. I mostly think of the city by crowded clubs on first...

Sunday Remix

Someone recently asked me for a remix on colored tights focusing on how to wear them...May might not be the best month considering usually it's the time for bare legs--also I don't really believe...

Scotch & Soda S/S 2013

Scotch & Soda's spring collection is as perfectly cool as every season they've shown in the past. Easy tops, stylish jackets with interesting details, and quirky pants or classic shorts all come...

Youth In Revolt

Summer always spells freedom to me. When you're younger a release from the purgatory of the school system. When you're older at least the longer days offer more leniency in your schedule. Perhaps...

Phosphoresce

"The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed;­ The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed. And days may pass in gay...

Wicked Wiles

This shade of blue and this shade of yellow always makes me think of Snow White...which is sort of funny since I haven't seen that movie since I was a child. It's not necessarily a bad...

Sky Art

Artist Thomas Lamadieu turns the spaces between buildings in urban landscapes into works of art by combining photography and illustration. The result is incredibly charming and should encourage...

Call Me Maybe

It's back to the season of climbing trees and skinning knees. Every spring I'm reminded of Robert Frost's poem Birches which goes, "So was I once myself a swinger of birches; And so I dream of...

Minx Asheville

My lovely sponsor Minx is offering 20% off your order with code "Rebecca". They have a lovely selection of sweet dresses and colorful accessories perfect for spring--they even carry some of my...

With Honeysuckle Covered

Sometimes I forget it's not summer...and then the weather gently reminds me with rain showers or cooler temperatures. But it's easy to get confused when I walk in the woods and it smells strongly...

Tata-Naka Fall 2013

The Tata-Naka girl didn't actually like high school. Reality could never live up to her over-active imaginings based off of teen movies set in the 1950s. Is it so wrong for a girl to dream of...

The Feast Of The Dedication

My collection of red dresses and nautical-inspired ones is beginning to border on ridiculous. But when you know what you like, you know what you like, no? There's something I admire about the...

What you'll need: -scissors -fine crepe paper cut into 5"x7" rectangles -thread/fishing wire Take five sheets of crepe paper and fold them into accordion folds. Tie the bundle off around the...

Pomp and Circumstance

I'm not usually one for a bright pink dress, but who can resist such a cool trompleoil print? Besides the jeweled collar reminded me of something Megan from Mad Men would wear for an evening...

Sunday Remix

Previous outfit posts: one, two, three, and four. I love the details on this Lauren Moffatt dress--it even has pockets! I've worn it a number of times this fall and winter and since it's quite...

Life Aquatic

In the 1940s Bruce Mozert pioneered underwater photography mostly out of Silver Springs, Florida where his images anchored a national publicity campaign for the springs from the 1940s through the...

Easy Like Saturday Morning

A little bonus outfit post for you all this week--I don't normally post new looks on Saturdays or Sundays because I don't like to take pictures every day of my life and I didn't get many pictures...
