Brunch Basics

I love a leisurely weekend brunch as much as the next wino, but the whole occasion becomes slightly less leisurely when someone* is rushing you to get ready because they hate waiting in line at IHOP with the rest of the hangover crowd. When I need to look somewhat presentable in 15 minutes or less, I like to stick to the basics: cotton tank dress, femme high-tops, a denim jacket, and a big ol’ hairbun. No

Tumblr Tuesday: Red Velvet Ice Cream and Hippie Glam Sandals

How am I supposed to cut back on sweets when things like Red Velvet and Salted Caramel Pretzel ice cream exist?; You wouldn’t know it from the current state of my closet, but I like seeing accessories organized neatly; A cleverly altered plastic chair serves as a not-so-subtle reminder that yes, you WILL die; Who knew a rock (cushion) could be so comfy?; I feel like now is a good time to pare down my

  Remember that blue leather skirt? Vintage skirt and bag; Gap shirt; Steven heels; DIY scarf necklace I can never resist wearing my new stuff right away--even when it's not really new. Speaking of vintage, I'll be part of NVISION's fashion show at the Symphonic Stylings fundraising event at The Electric Warehouse this Saturday! Do not even get me started on some of the beautiful vintage dresses I tried on during my fitting--you don't want to miss this show!

Tumblr Tuesday: 8-Bit Monsters and 3-D Type

Is there anything appropriate in 90-degree weather than a tropical print bikini on a beach?; These little 8-bit monsters seem to be lurking everywhere; Creating 3-D art for a 2-D album cover works surprisingly well; Makeup is usually used to hide red eyes, but I kinda dig the idea of smoky red eyeshadow;  Huge 3-D type? Yeah!; This version of red skirt + red tights is much cooler than the version I wore to my

A Fine (Jewelry) Phase

You know how sometimes you go through phases with fashion? I’ve had t-shirt phases, leather phases, lingerie phases, and a pretty serious ongoing vintage phase. While I’ve gone through a few costume jewelry phases, I’ve managed to steer clear of fine jewelry--mostly because I know my bank account would seriously suffer. However, after another visit to Krombholz Fine Jewelry to decorate their featured jewelry case, I think my time has come. Not sure why I was

Tumblr Tuesday: Ombre Tights and Gamma Rays

The colorful water feature at Smale Riverfront Park makes it the perfect spot for a nighttime stroll; Warm weather makes me want to play with watercolors at craft time a la day camp; What if you could pour out the Universe? ; Ombre tights are one of those things I see and wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that?”; Maybe I’ll finally get around to tie-dyeing some shorts this summer; Say what you will about

Tumblr Tuesday: Clever Bookcases and Word-y Clocks

Once again, Ms Stefani wears EXACTLY what I would wear if I had a skillion dollars; I like softgoods that speak for me; The patters and textures on these columns blend together perfectly; I love clever furniture like this bookcase; These pointy black heels somehow remind me of Pebbles Flintstone; Finally, a sleek clock that uses words to tell time instead of those pesky numbers.
