Tumblr Tuesday: Wishlist Edition!

I’ve had my eye on this asymmetric draped blouse for a while; A delicate type pattern makes this sweet little bowtie the perfect blend of masculine and feminine; After several unsuccessful DIY attempts, it’s time to graduate to a real flash diffuser; I tend to be pretty hard on bags–this big leather beauty looks like my next victim; I’m afraid I can no longer deny it: I want an iPad, please; My inner font fiend...

Runway Ripoff: Cynthia Steffe Spring ’12

Since Madre Naturaleza decided a little Summer-in-the-Fall weather was in order (not complaining!), I figured it was a good time to test drive another look from Spring 2012.

DIY crop top; Express romper; Jeffrey Campbell shoes Funny story about the crop top: I was chatting with a friend when I noticed her looking at me quizzically. “Did you get...

Backyard Island

Zara tee, thrifted shorts, DIY scarf necklace, Jeffrey Campbell shoes Spent the weekend running around pulling clothes for an upcoming TV segment (Tuesday morning, Fox19, BE THERE), remembering what it feels like to have an actual backyard, and wondering if Beau would get along with a dog.* I figured a certain level of comfort was in order, so I wore a classic tee-and-shorts combo with my DIY scarf necklace and The Ugly Shoes, and it...
