Physics Of The Impossible

This Super 8 camera was a gift from my boyfriend, Thomas, and despite the fact that it likely doesn't work I couldn't be more excited about it. Vintage cameras can become my collectibles--taking up...

Manipulerte Historier

Artist Katrine Kalleklev turns old portrait photographs (the sort we all know from parents or grandparents photo albums and dressing tables) into something more intriguing by adding manipulating...

Middle Ground

I quite like being able to shoot through spring blooms (or autumn leaves in fall); I like the sense of depth they add and it takes me back to my Elementary art classes when we started to learn...

Schoolgirl Chic

I never get tired of a school girl inspired look. I mean, you shouldn't be head-to-toe in your old uniform, but a prim blouse with a pleated skirt and oxfords never looks bad. This picture is a bit...

Balanced and Beaming

I don't like to linger too much in the past or blog about past blogs or blogging in general, but just a general thank you for the positive response on Monday's afternoon post. While I wouldn't...

Puloma Jewelry

Puloma is an online shop that features designs from French accessory and jewelry artists. Based in Paris the website brings local work to the global market. The pieces are lovely and each designer...

Neon Monday Remix

Neon Monday sent me their Himalayas landscape dress to remix and it really is a versatile piece. It will layer up nicely in fall and winter as well, but I kept these styles more suited for our...

I Feel Pretty

I've hinted before at my awkward stage(s) before the blog--telling how it took me awhile to wear skirts regularly because I was self-conscious about my legs. I haven't gone into depth over the...

A Splendid Artichoke of Anecdotes

These pictures were quite funny to shoot. Shortly after I had found this quiet spot in a park in town and set up my tripod, a couple shooting engagement photos (or something similar) came trooping...

Sunday Remix

This dress from Fred Flare was definitely one of my favorites last summer and will probably be again. Not much to say about this dress, but well I'm a fan. I'm so excited for long days and...

Dustbowl Dance

One of the greatest documentary photographers was Dorothea Lange who is best known for her photographs of migrant workers during the Great Depression. She began her career shooting portraits in San...

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...
