You know, its stylings like this that make me want to reconsider my whole anti-hat stance.1 Though, I think this outfit would be perfect for Memorial Day weekend - as well as many other summer w...
The weather turned today. Its been nice for the past couple of weeks, but today was decidedly gray, windy, and occasionally rainy, even. This is not nearly as bad as what reader and owner of the Wish...
Just a quick OOTD to share with you today. Im all out of compelling thoughts today. Too many grant proposals in the last few weeks has left me feeling pretty depleted.I got lots of compliments on thi...
I recently discovered Boy. by Band of Outsiders, and I have to say, while its completely a fantasy label for me (as in, "If I won a Mega Millions Jackpot..." sort of fantasy), I wanted to sha...

Im meant to be on a shopping ban. And as of right now - this very minute - I really and truly am. Honest. Until July, when Nordstroms Anniversary Sale happens, at least. Because when the Anniversary ...
Last week, I was invited by one of our local readers, Clara, who has recently become a Stella & Dot stylist to a "trunk show." I went because 1) I hadnt seen Clara in some time and 2) I w...
This handbag first caught my eye with its vibrant color that still manages to be feel neutral, its elegant, minimalist design that is accented by a close attention to details, and the fact that it lo...
Yesterday was a rough day. My work laptop became severely unhappy (as in the refusing to boot up even in safe-mode sort of "unhappy") and I ended up driving about 3.5 hours round-trip to...
So, a little while ago, Kathryn wrote about her fashion bucket list, and it set me to thinking about what would be on mine.The first thing I thought of was a Helmut Lang blazer.Specifically, the Tux ...

Ive been cultivating a love affair with super simple, really comfy dresses lately. Theyre so unfussy and easy. And with the right accessories, they let you run around all over town, feeling like your...
I snapped this photo yesterday, while Kate was playing in her Tinkerbell costume, which shed insisted on putting on. The pink camo cap is also her accessory choice. I thought it was funny enough to s...
Do I look a little sheepish in this picture? It may have had to do with the fact that my neighbor (whom I dont know!) was standing in his doorway, watching me take these photos.Its pretty diffi...
Hi everyone!This is not an outfit post or a fun shopping adventure post and its not a wishlist post. Its a request for a favor - I have a very lovely friend who has a daughter who has a dog. But...
Sometimes, I find that when Im stuck in the middle of work - meaning, I feel unable to actually produce (and that usually has lots to do with writing) - I need to stop working on it and produce ...
Hi everyone! Hope youre all doing well. Apologies for the uncharacteristically long absence - spring is a pretty crazy time of year for me at work (report season compounded with grant-writing season ...
