It’s approaching the end of the year (and the end of the decade, at that), which generally means year-end lists and reflections on the past year/decade, but I’m not sure I’d be able to really make any sort of good year-end list. I do have a couple resolutions, but none are really clothing related (save [...]

I mentioned a little while back that I was working on a scarf, my first knitting project. I used my amazing new circular needles, which I’m rabidly in love with. I’ve never been a big DIY person for some reason, more because of my laziness and high expectations than because of any fear of making [...]

Brought out one of my old feather headdresses. I haven’t worn this in months, but I love it too dearly to actually stop wearing it. I’ve never quite known why I love feathers so much (in my house I literally am ‘the feather girl’). I remember as a kid being so drawn to feathers, I’d [...]

Quick outfit post before I head over to my grandmother’s house for our traditional Christmas Eve festivities. I pulled out my Chanel boots, which I’ve always loved because, from the front, they seem like simple black cap-toed Chanel boots, but turning around reveals that the back of the boots are made of patent leather!

Gar-de, a fashion collective based out of NYC, had a particularly great fall 2009 collection, full of utilitarian shapes and fabrics, androgynous cuts, and generally [...]

I have to admit, I never got over over-the-knee socks. I still remember the first time I saw Prada’s grey, silky over-the-knee socks (Spring 2006!); it was love at first sight. I looked EVERYWHERE I could for a pair of the super tall socks (at 15, I wasn’t quite ready to spend 100 dollars on [...]

If I muster up the courage, I might actually cut and sew some old flannel shirts together to make a pieced-together looking plaid skirt, but until then, I’m making do by simply buttoning and tying them together haphazardly. There’s something especially gleeful about reappropriating old, unworn clothes into something new, whether by cutting and sewing [...]

I’ve learned that when you say you “hate” or “would never wear” some sort of clothing (sweatpants, brown, gold jewelry, etc. etc.), you should always be prepared to eat your words. Not that you will always change your mind about what you like and would wear,but sometimes, the right piece just hasn’t manifested itself yet. [...]
