If this picture doesn’t make your heart hurt you’re doing something wrong. Via Cute Overload, of course.
Lusting after this necklace. It’s for such a good cause, too.
OMG, does it mean that I’m totally nerdy because I’m psyched to watch the new PBS [...]
Happy Friday!
If I look a little chilly in these photos, it’s because it was freezing up on that roof last week. Okay, not actually freezing, but it was cold for San Francisco. I obviously survived, though.
I don’t think I’ve ever posted pictures with my hair straightened, but now you know what I [...]
As promised, here are my styling recommendations for the bow I demonstrated how to make yesterday. I came up with five different ways to wear it. Come right this way, into my living room, and I’ll show you.
1. Standard bow-tie style.
Get yourself a nice button-down, button it up, and pin your [...]
I’ve been seeing a lot of bows lately in my fashion-site browsing, so I thought I’d jump on that bandwagon and make my own. Digging deep into my scrap pile I came up with this lovely polka-dotted fabric left over from a long-ago reconstructed shirt. So I guess that technically makes this a recycling project. [...]
I got Steven to take these pictures when we were on our way to the San Francisco Film Noir Festival one night this weekend. Since we were already running late I didn’t bother to check the pictures, but later I realized that something was off about the camera settings. All the ones taken [...]
Isn’t this little guy adorable? I found him on a fence in the back patio of a Mission coffee shop we popped into last weekend. We didn’t even get coffee–we were just wandering around the Mission taking photos of the lovely neighborhood. If Steven’s commute wouldn’t be doubled I think I’d like [...]
With all the dreary weather we’ve been having lately, I was feeling the need for some bright, beautiful color. My closet supplied this dress, which I originally bought for a wedding I attended last year. I toned it down and gave it the appearance of a skirt with the cardigan on top. You’d be forgiven [...]
We’ve been having a bit of rain ’round these parts. Nothing an Oregon native like me hasn’t seen before, but I must admit it doesn’t make for very pleasant scootering. Unfortunately I can’t use an umbrella on my Vespa, but for walking around I’d like to get my hands on a
This little outfit demonstrates the power of layering. On top we have a leather jacket over a blazer over a plaid button-down over a blue tank over a wool undershirt (which you can’t see). I think it all comes together nicely, and all those layers helped keep me toasty. The wool tights didn’t hurt, either.

I’ve been wanting to do some fabric stenciling for a while now, but hadn’t gotten around to getting the supplies. While we were in Florida, however, we were staying right near a Micheal’s, so I dragged my boyfriend over there with me to look for some suitable paint. I figured I’d either buy fabric paint [...]
