holiday mix-up
handknit poncho, Clu reversible gold skirt, scarf from Nepal, Frye shoes This is my holiday ode to ‘Ugly Betty’ look (remember that poncho she wore in episode 1 that was so fashionably misguided? Hopefully I am pulling this off better…). My mother actually knitted this for me (hmm… I may be digging myself further into…
40s flair
dress, fur coat & clutch: vintage, shoes: Frye, necklaces: c/o Jewelmint, vintage, liptick: Nars Funny Face While rummaging through my closet on Sunday (see previous post) I unearthed this gem of a nod-to-40s style chair print dress that I actually bought at a vintage store about 3 years ago.

fall escape
I did just that (escape… leave behind glamour….) with a bunch of friends at a beautiful farm in Northern California this past weekend. Cozy flannel and fairisle sweaters were worn and tractor rides and campfire singalongs were had. One friend saw these pictures and said we looked like we were at some kind of Pottery…
70s romance
This post is actually a sneak peek of a recent project I was apart of with Sears. Believe it or not, this is me making kute with the Kardashian Kollection for Sears. I chose to bypass the Khloe-style leopard jumpsuits for something a little more Kourtney, an little more 70s romance. A little lace, a…
