Shopping // Lace is for Lovers

I’m not really the fancy underwear type, at least not any more. I worked at Victoria’s Secret when I was in college and managed to amass an impressive collection of lace and satin and mesh delicates in every color of the rainbow. They were mostly uncomfortable and definitely impractical. A few years ago, I got rid of pretty much everything that wasn’t cotton or lace and didn’t fit into my black, gray, and red color scheme.

Style // Well Coated

As a thank you for being part of the Fall Contemporary Event, Saks offered us hosts a store credit as a sort of choose-your-own-reward. Awesome, yes, but I couldn’t decide whether to splurge on one high-end blowout piece, or get a few less expensive things that I’d wear more often. After cruising the Contemporary section 347 times and not finding exactly what I was looking for, I headed upstairs--surely everything would be too expensive, but

Work // Cincinnati Wedding Winter 2015

Oh, hello there! I took a li’l break to enjoy the holidays and have since been doing a bang-up job at sticking to my resolutions to 1.) work out four times a week and 2.) eat more ice cream. I’ll keep you posted on any further updates. In the meantime, I’m so excited to share the most recent issue of Cincinnati Wedding, which is a collection of some of my favorite shoots since working at the

Shopping // Crafty New Jewels

As predicted, I went overboard with the jewelry at Crafty Supermarket’s holiday show and bought (1) a brass and pyrite bracelet from Off the Beaten Path, (2) a Hannah Hoffman sterling and brass ring, and (3) Elaine B Jewelry silver hex hoops (which was perfectly justified because I just lost my silver hoops). To my credit, I could have done even more damage: this Rock Salt Vintage choker and several pieces from Oceanne were calling me,

Style // Draped Up

I figured I’d take advantage of the random warm-ish weather and enjoy going bare-legged for (presumably) the last time this year. Wearing one of my favorite drapey sweaters from All Saints, an imitation Helmut Lang draped skirt, Kelsi Dagger booties, feathered earrings from Morrison and Me, a combination of jewelry I picked up at thrift stores and Crafty Supermarket, and a fedora I really need to replace.  SHOP IT!

Shopping // Curate Holiday Lookbook

When Courtney from Curate asked me and Annie from Magical Simplicity to hang out and take pictures in some of her favorite seasonal looks, of course we said yes! All these rounds of holiday parties call for an assortment of fancy dresses, fluffy coats, and deceptively comfy pants. If you’re looking for really cute stuff at surprisingly reasonable prices, check out Curate in Hyde Park or join me on the couch and shop for your new

Work // The Cincinnati Magazine Gift Guide is Here!

I put a couple hundred miles on my car over the course of many hours scouring the city for the best, most interesting-est presents for the creative, adventurous, and fashionable people on your gift list  for the December issue of Cincinnati Magazine. We hung erasers from fishing line, stabbed innocent foamcore with knives, and made mini scissors dance for your reading pleasure SO YOU BETTER READ IT AND LIKE IT. You’ll also want to see who,
