Samesies

So, I know the lore is that a lot of fashion bloggers rely on their boyfriends/husbands to take photos of them. I found that it doesn’t work in my relationship with my SO. I rely on my friends for this, especially blogger friends. One of my favorite blogging friends, is Kristen, aka, Stylenik, who we meet and snap photos of each other, …

Harem Pants: The Slow-Burn Trend

  I remember way back in 2008, I found this pair of harem pants at a flea market. Excited about them, I posted them on this blog saying that one should be careful to mix your vintage (looks) or you’ll look like you’re in a time warp. Well, the harem pant has indeed had quite a few updates from the …

Summer Staple: The Denim Shirtdress

Since moving to San Francisco, I have become a weather wimp. Like, if it dips below 60° I’m cold. If it goes above 68° I’m hot. So basically, there is an 8° window when I’m just fine. Luckily, that’s most days here, but since moving to Potrero Hill, we get more sunny warm days than any other part of the …

Even though I am a Navy brat, I’ve only been sailing once in my life. One spring break, I visited my friend in Rome, who took me sailing in Tuscany. Sounds amazing doesn’t it?

I’ve had my go at leather shorts over the years, I had this pair of brown leather shorts from Topshop that I just had the hardest time making …

Cozy Autumn Knits

It’s officially sweater season. I keep collecting sweaters that all have a very similar theme, slightly oversized, chunky, and super cozy. There is something very comforting about snuggling up with a chunky sweater, and when the weather starts cooling down it’s time to get the most out of snuggling up. Personally, I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with chunky knits, …

Edgy Preppy

For a long time I’ve been trying to figure out what my “style” was. I’m not a badass, that’s for sure. I’m also not buttoned up and proper. One day while figuring out what I liked, it dawned on me that it lies somewhere between edgy and preppy. While it’s a trend that’s floating around it’s a nice place to …
