It figures that the day after I write about incorporating more frills and colors into my wardrobe that I’d be wearing only black and white, but I couldn’t help but think that my new Ann Demeulemeester deserved to be worn (at least once) with Mlle. Demeulemeester’s signature black and white combination, despite the fact that [...]

2009 wouldn’t be complete without some Rodarte. From store curating to collaborations to post-apocalyptic visions of condors rising from ashes, the Mulleavy sisters have had quite a year. I’ve been constantly awed by them since I first set eyes on their beautiful dresses five years ago, I even had a dog named after their inspiring [...]

I rarely wear jeans, and I rarely wear flats, so it seemed especially amusing to wear both today. But what I was really excited about is my new Gar-de jacket. 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 [...]

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.

It’s gotten so chilly so quickly! All of a [...]

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you’re so busy it seems like you never get a chance to sit down for more than 5 minutes? That’s sort of how my week went. I got a lot of exciting things done though, like finally declaring my major (psychology!), decorating my house’s lounge to [...]

I’ve been obsessed in the past couple months with wearing as many fuzzy, furry things as possible, and in my frenzy to collect warm, furry things, I got this sheepskin vest. I’ve been really attracted to beige and cream right now (don’t ask why). It probably has something to do with my newly found liking [...]
