No, it’s not a jungle, but our backyard garden. It’s actually a lot more accessible than the last time I was home, when it used to look like this: The mosquito level though, is still the ...
Around this time last year I started my own 30×30 challenge (it’s actually 33×33), in which I picked 33 random pieces of unworn clothes and remixed them. It took me about two months t...
I used to think (or like to think anyway) that I have a pretty diverse taste in music. As I got older, though, the range of diversity got narrower and narrower, and now I mostly only listen to altern...
I feel like since I got home, all the progresses I’ve made in my personal style are gone. I barely accessorize anymore, and I’ve only worn a dress and a skirt once each – both times...
First, a quick word on the “feather” portion of the post: this is my attempt to bring some interest to a simple shirt-and-shorts outfit, by adding a colorful pair of sneakers and a statem...
An announcement before we start: I’m rethinking the Weekend Round-Up feature a bit. This week I’m simplifying it down to just random pretty things I found around the web, and this might b...
Not much to say about this outfit, except that I’m wearing this V-neck tee backwards. It was my sister’s idea, and it turns out to be a good decision, because the shirt, which fitted well...
If there’s an aspect of personal style that I’m still struggling with after all this time, it’s accessorizing. I don’t like wearing a lot of jewelries; the only kind of jewelr...
This week’s inspiration for Style Imitating Art is Frida Kahlo’s Time Flies: Remember how I said I was excited to raid my mom’s and my sister’s closets once I got home? As it ...
I took Loren’s tips on how to turn “clothes” into an “outfit” to turn these pieces in which I’ve been schlubbing around the house into an outfit appropriate for ha...
Last night, I was waken up by lightning and thunder (oh how I missed that), so I got out of bed to open my window… and stepped into a puddle. My bed was in an inch of water, and it had dripped ...
My first outfit post at home! I have to be honest: I only wore this for the photos. It was so crazy hot and humid that even this dress was too much, so I changed into shorts and an old cotton shirt. ...
I’m home! First of all, a big thank you to all of my wonderful guest posters last week. I’m still slowly getting used to life back at home and figuring out the new posting schedule. So in...
Sorry for the late post. I’ve arrived in Vietnam in one piece, but there was a problem with our internet (typical, it chose the day I came home to break down.) So last but not least in our seri...
Greetings from Taipei! I survived the first (longer) half of the trip! As I’m whiling away my 10-hour layover with The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (perfect book to read while traveli...
Today’s guest post is courtesy of the lovely Megan from Feathers and Freckles. She’s a thrifting queen, and as a fellow thrifter, I’m constantly in awe of the amazing items she̵...
So for the first guest post, I have my friend and Style Imitating Art co-creator Jess of Animated Cardigan. I’ve always admired her senses of style and humor, both of which she’s brought ...
My last outfit post in the US! It’s for this week’s Style Imitating Art, which is inspired by David Hockney’s Bigger Trees near Warter: The painting is super cool, but really diffic...
Well, it’s time for the officially “moving” post, since I’m leaving soon next week. I specifically waited until after The Avengers comes out to leave (the movie is awesome, by...
It’s proof of how obsessed I am with Game of Thrones that when I first tried this maxi dress on, I immediately thought of Melisandre instead of, say, the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderlan...
This is my second venture into the printed pants trend – polka dot pants! I made this pair myself by stamping the dots in fabric paint with an eraser at the end of a pencil (like so.) I had too...
This outfit was the first time I tried the whole “folding down the top of a dress” thing to wear it as a skirt. It might have worked better if my dress was sleeveless, here it was a littl...
I know it’s kind of silly to say that you’re feeling French/Parisian just because you’re wearing a striped top, dark skirt, and ballet flats. But I can’t help it. I do feel ki...
One of my laments about living in LA is that everything is so artificial; you can’t feel nature around you. So I was delighted to come across this vacant lot with grass and weeds growing freely...
I’ll make this quick, because I have a date with Doctor Who on my computer. LINKS OF THE WEEK: It’s wedding season (it is, isn’t it? I’m not so sure about it here, since in Vi...
I’m trying to be clever with the title, because 1) I’m standing against a wall in the photos and 2) I think I’m going to give up on the 30 Days of Dresses challenge. Not that itR...
The 30 Days of Dresses challenge has made me realize several reasons why I don’t wear dresses enough. One is that most of my dresses are kinda short. The other, more obvious reason, is that I a...
Usually when looking for a location to take pictures for the blog, I pay more attention to the lighting than to how my outfit would look against the background. Though there are several instances whe...
Last Saturday I went to the Southern California Renaissance Fair (or “Faire”, if you want to be all old-timey about it) with a couple of friends. We’ve talked about going every year...
I took a break from the 30 Days of Dresses for this week’s Style Imitating Art. This is an easy one, since the inspiration, Homage to the Square: Blue, White, Grey by Josef Albers (who, inciden...
