Style // On the Run

I’ve been doing a lot of running around for the past few weeks due to several back-to-back photo shoots for Cincinnati Magazine’s October issue and our special style-focused SHOPS publication. If it’s 70+ degrees and I’m going to be scouting or doing pickups and returns, I’ve developed sort of a uniform: some variation of cotton tank + pencil skirt + sandals. Zara top, ASOS skirt, Jeffrey Campbell booties (I’d forgotten about the Ugly Shoes!) It’s...

Oh, Hey There!

I should start this off by apologizing for being a bad blogger and not actually, you know, blogging, but here’s the thing: I’ve been blogging nonstop, just not here.

We photographed several Cincinnati Ballet dancers...

Muse-ings: Fancy Shopping Carts and Floral Headgear

1. I tend to vacillate between extreme shapes and go for either skin-tight pencil skirts or super-full circle skirts. Right now, I’m in a circle skirt state of mind. 2. If real shopping carts were this glamorous, picking up groceries in the company of 200 of your closest neighbor-strangers might not be such a tedious chore. 3. I’m in dire need of a vacation and need to go to WHEREVER THIS IS I DON’T CARE...
