One My amazing mom and dad came over this morning to help me install a humongous mailbox and post. I don’t know what I’d do without them! Visit my dad’s blog right here for the mailbox installation tutorial and photos of the process (and of me clumsily trying to use a post hole digger). Now I can [...]
Our basement has been overrun with plumbers for the past two days, so I haven’t been able to spend much time in my studio. They’re replacing the hot water heater, and it’s a tricky job since our house is quirky right down to the plumbing. Today I decided to do a wardrobe cleanse while the [...]
Mission accomplished, I painted each of my fingernails a different color! It took my entire nail polish collection to do it. All my polishes are variations of gold and purple, so luckily they ended up looking great together. But what does the fact that I keep buying the same nail polish colors over and over [...]
Yesterday I got to wear boots for the first time this season! I love fall. I love seeing my breath in the cold, crunching through freshly fallen leaves, drinking apple cider, making stew, and I especially love boots. I’m swooning over this pair in particular.

The ombré hair trend has probably just about run its course, but I’m skittish about dying my hair (excluding the pink hair incident), so it took me this long to summon the courage to try it.

You know, most of the time I tell Daniel how easy he has it in regards to fashion. He wears big baggy clothes and comfortable shoes. The most restricting thing he ever has to put on is a tie once or twice a year, but when summer comes around I feel sorry for him. He’ll [...]
I found my perfect shade of red lipstick—NARS’ Cruella. It’s not too bright, and it’s a bluish red so it compliments the cool undertones in my pale pink skin. When I showed Daniel he said, “Whoa, you look like someone out of a fairy tale!” Best lipstick compliment ever. Now I wear it when I [...]
So, what do you think of the floral jeans that are popping up everywhere? I really like the more muted or monotone patterns, and I’m especially loving this light blue pair! 1 floral jeans from Net-A-Porter 2 maritime-stripe blazer from J.Crew 3 tank from Old Navy 4 buttercup earrings from Linkel Designs 5 suede pump [...]
I’m not usually a big coffee drinker, but when Starbucks offers their pumpkin spice lattes each fall I can’t resist. I know I could probably find a great recipe to make my own at home, but it wouldn’t be nearly as special if I knew I could have it anytime. Cute boots and a cozy [...]
I’m sure some, if not all of you, are sick of hearing about Missoni for Target this and Missoni for Target that, so let me apologize in advance. Now, can I tell you a secret? I honestly wasn’t that crazy about most of the Missoni for Target line. I mean, I like chevron stripes, but [...]
