Sun of a Gun

Sometimes, I’m extra-super vain. This is one of those times. I don’t like the way any of the full-body shots turned out, so just imagine the top half of the outfit (seen above) attached to the...

I want to ride my bicycle

Technically, it’s Shirley’s bike. But still. I felt really silly when taking this picture because my friend Alex told me to stick my chest out, but it paid off. Arch your backs, everyone. It makes...

Lacy late nights

Sometimes (okay, a lot of times) I wear ridiculous things. The particular evening I wore this outfit was no exception. I wore two black lace dresses (you know, for modesty) over my underwear. And a...

More is more

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I have a bit of a thing for accessories. Especially sparkly ones. I think that brooches are a highly underrated piece of jewelry. They’re like earrings for your...

Charming Bloggers

A couple of Saturdays ago I got together with some of the lovely ladies from the DFW Blogger Network. We went shopping at Charming Charlie’s. It’s a magical land filled with rainbows and sparkles...

Garden party

This photo-shoot playtime moment happened in the Community Garden right outside of my friend Shirley’s apartment in south Boston. It is so pretty. And apparently, very exclusive. It’s not like a...

Dangly earrings and dramatically flared jeans

Are these the best jeans ever or are these the best jeans ever? I mean. Check out my butt. No seriously, do it. It does not look like that when not in these magical, magical jeans. AND they were...

Photodiary of a Playday

My friends are very indulgent. They’ve really gotten on board with the whole personal-style-blogging thing. So when they suggested that I pose in front of this crane on our way to lunch, I obliged....

Rhinestone reptiles

I did some serious colorblocking this past weekend. (I know, I’m late to the trend. Also that word might be used waaaaay too much.) The silk top and pink shorts were thrifted and worn together at...

It costs a lot of money to look this cheap

This past weekend I saw the musical 9 to 5 based on the movie of the same name. Dolly Parton (a woman whose musical talent is even bigger than her breasts or her hair) wrote 17 new songs for the...

Addicted to lipstick

I love lipstick. A lot. It’s a really easy way to change the vibe of an entire outfit. I can swipe some on with jeans and a t-shirt* and suddenly, I’m dressed. (*and by jeans and a t-shirt, I mean...

She’s my strawberry pie

Earlier today I made a strawberry pie using this recipe from Vegan Visitor. It was really easy and turned out super pretty. Observe:

Bloggers at The Body Shop

This Saturday I came out to an event at The Body Shop at Northpark with a gaggle of other DFW bloggers. (I know that gaggle is for geese, but there really should be a collective noun for bloggers....

He will join us or die.

Cookie dough: why even bake it?

Last night I made Cookie Dough Scoops from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar. Isa Chandra Moskowitz is a genius. Check out Post Punk Kitchen if you haven’t for some very good ideas for vegan...

Patriotism and playsuits

When we were in Hawaii we went to Pearl Harbor and toured the USS Bowfin, the USS Missouri, and visited the memorial at the USS Arizona. Here are some pictures I took inside the submarine: And...

Sequins: always appropriate

I wore a sequined miniskirt to drink a very large soy latte because cocktail wear should not be limited to cocktail hour. Also, daytime sequins are seriously happening. The jean jacket is my...

Denim turtleneck: It didn’t exist so I made it.

This weekened my parents and I went to Cottonwood Arts Festival. There were dogs decked out in Derby hats: I wore a turtleneck denim halter that I made out of jeans. I know it sounds crazy. This...

How to wear your hair in summer

Step 1: Divide hair in to two sections and braid. Step 2: Use copious amounts of bobby pins to secure said braids to the back of your head. Step 3: Stand overlooking the beach with the sea breeze...

Lazy cupcakes

Last night I was craving cupcakes but I didn’t feel like making them from scratch. Luckily we live in a magical time when even vegans can be lazy and make baked goods right out of a box! I picked...

How to stuff a wild bikini

This swimsuit makes me feel like an extra in Beach Blanket Bingo, which I love. It’s the one where the Beach Party gang goes sky diving! Buster Keaton is in it! (Don’t tell anyone, but I think his...

Vintage Vacation Wear

Because I am vain and afraid of wrinkles and The American Cancer Society’s informational campaign has been very effective in scaring me about skin cancer, I wear sunscreen and very wide-brimmed...

Bright jeans and sunny days

Shirley and I celebrated Earth Day at a festival in Oak Cliff. I wore bright jeans of an indeterminate color. What is that? Orangey pink-red? Coral-ish? Maybe I shouldn’t try to label them and just...

Aloha Project Runway

Last week I attended Transitopia, which was the end of the year fashion show for the Fashion Technology Students at Honolulu Community College. It was produced by Andy South of Project Runway...

Bachelorette Bash

This past Friday we celebrated the end of Ivonne’s singlehood at a restaurant that was so breathtaking its patrons needed oxygen tanks. Seriously, there was a man on oxygen a few tables over from...

I had my face done at The Body Shop

Last Sunday Ivonne and I had our makeup done at The Body Shop as part of a beauty event at the Dallas Galleria. It was awesome. They have a new makeup line that is seriously gorgeous. Shalini...

Deep Ellum is the Brooklyn of DFW

This weekend I went to the Deep Ellum Arts Festival where there were local artists and bands and jugglers. Yes, jugglers. I attempted to tie a turban a la The Glamourai, but it’s not as easy as she...

Going to Carolina in my mind

A few months ago my cousin and I made a trip to North Carolina. In Charlotte, we visited the Levine Museum of the New South, which I highly recommend. They have a section that looks like an early...

All the hot girls wear glasses

Vanity glasses are a very basic an essential tool in any accessories arsenal. I have 7 pairs. I’m letting myself believe that’s reasonable and not incredibly excessive. I also believe in rocking...

Pretty people at Park Lane

Yesterday I went to a DFW fashion blogger gathering at The Shops at Park Lane. It was awesome. That Whole Foods is off the hook. I kind of want to live there. Not in the apartments near there,...
