So have I previously mentioned I have the most wonderful big brother in the whole world? No? Well then I have been sorely remiss. Brennan is a super cool New Yorker guy now, but back in the day he was my favorite silly sweet playmate, and it is to his credit I have not gone off the brink into unrelenting [...read more]
Trend spotted… cat print! No, not cheetah print (thank goodness), but lovely stylized kitty cats. A cat lover myself, I find the trend hitting the spot. A little whimsy in ones wardrobe is always nice. But you have to be careful with this one! You don’t want to end up looking eight years old, or like a crazy cat lady (like this [...read more]
While researching for my polka dot post, I was enchanted by all the fruity flavors of summer popping up in accessories. At the height of summer, its not too late to pick one of these ripe clutches. Any of these will serve as a yummy statement maker in your summer wardrobe, all under $35. Really, go for it! I have an [...read more]

Oh man. I have quite the story. It is not often in life that we can pinpoint an exact second where things went wrong. Bad days, bad relationships, bad projects are all so vague and fluid, you can’t think back and see exactly the freeze frame where stuff took a turn. So I guess that makes my “partial finger amputation” special :) [...read more]
So I’ll admit it, I can be pretty negative about Seattle sometimes… the fabric stores… the endless moldy cement.. lack of snow… lack of family blah blah blah. But you know what is great about Seattle? Blossoms. Beautiful bountiful bursting blossoms that, to a midwest girl, seem to be ridiculously magical and spectacularly out of place in our busy world. Its just [...read more]
Wanna know a silly secret? Although all my friends would describe my style as classy and ladylike, I consistently find great inspiration in kids clothes! Ok, well not just any kids clothes, JCrew’s childrens line; CrewCuts. I can’t stand how adorable they are. So much color and fun while somehow remaining sophisticated enough to easily translate into a lovely full-grown lady [...read more]
Its no secret that I swing a little vintage. I just love feeling feminine and flirty as well as simply having fun with my clothing. Circle skirts and tight bodices make me feel all those things and frankly look the best on my body shape. I am always on the lookout for the illusive mix of modern and vintage: modern prints [...read more]
Sometimes you see something magical. Something that transports you into a story. Rich with characters, scenery and mood. I feel that I stumbled across these totems more often when I was a child, where a simple acorn could spark my imagination. Now a days that something has to be really special to get me to travel to a new world. Which is [...read more]
Opps. I recall making the statement that I was back and refueled to blog in the new year. Well, I think I said that too soon. It is 100% true that I am excited to keep blogging and sharing and exploring but I may have over estimated the time I have to do such things. I have been asked to do the [...read more]
