Chloé Wedge Shoe Modification
Sunday, October 12th, 2008In early September, I bought an eccentric pair of Chloé green patent wedges as a gift to myself for my 27th birthday. Though they were amazingly perfect looks-wise, there was one major setback: they didn’t stay on my feet! I have narrow heels and the fact that these had a solid platform that didn’t flex […]
I LUV U GARETH PUGH
Sunday, October 5th, 2008The Gareth Pugh Spring 2009 collection totally blew my mind. Though English, he hit the road this season, showing in Paris for the first time. How can you possibly avoid the charm of his futuristic Victorian vision? Even in this economic slowdown, designers like Pugh keep us inspired with their exotic sensibilities. I am in […]
Marimekko Autum/Winter 2008/09
Sunday, September 7th, 2008
The Marimekko clothing line designed by Samu-Jussi Koski features many prints from the archives but he keeps the collection current with modern, comfortable silhouettes. To me, Marimekko strikes the perfect balance between being fun and timeless.

What I Wore: 8.26.08
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008This is what I’d wear if I was an urban schoolgirl!
Cardigan, Isaac for Target
Blouse, Forever 21
Ancient black jeans, Levi’s
Watch, Swatch
Wedge shoes, Dries Van Noten (they arrived yesterday!)
Purse, Miu Miu
And, some details! I love how these Dries are the same style as my gray ones but look so dramatically different. I’ve never had burgundy shoes before, but […]
Fall 2008 Shoes: The New Wave
Sunday, August 24th, 2008Top: Prada, Marni, Viktor & Rolf. Bottom: YSL, Marni, Alexander McQueen.
The new crop of shoes that many designers paraded down the runways for the Fall 2008 RTW collections were outrageously high, super sculptural or a combination of both. While I love the wackiness (I’d throw on those Pradas to go to the grocery store, even) […]
What I Wore: 8.17.08
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008These are the only shorts that I own! I got my first pair of lederhosen at three years old when my parents returned from Europe in 1984. They were gray buckskin with red straps and heart-shaped pockets!
Lederhosen were always a staple in my family since I’m mostly of German and Austrian decent. We would visit the […]
Dries Van Noten Wedges
Monday, August 18th, 2008Last week I finally tracked down an incredibly hard to find pair of gray patent wedges from the Dries Van Noten Fall 2007 RTW collection. There’s no denying that they’re strange looking and it took me months of contemplation before I finally decided that they were a go.
Now, I feel silly for waiting so long! […]
Corso Como Dodie Wedges
Monday, August 11th, 2008This weekend while in Halo, I tried on the Dodie wedge by Corso Como and it was love at first site! I know that the height of 3.5 inches might suggest otherwise, but these are shockingly comfortable and stable! If you’re outside of Portland, the Dodie can be found on the Zappos website.
Corso Como has […]
Ask Nubby #9: Rocking your Style with Confidence!
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
I was looking through your blog & I noticed how you were always dressed in something cute and you wore it with a certain flare & confidence. I’m just wondering how I can acquire some (any) confidence to wear some bold/cute/notice-me-I’m-not-just-a-piece-of-wallpaper ensemble.
…
As you’ve probably already guessed, feeling confident about your outer appearance comes from not […]

Nemo Design Employee t-Shirts
Friday, July 18th, 2008Lately, I haven’t had a chance to share much of my design work since it’s been mostly freelance for my clients and work for Nemo (and their clients). But this week, I got a really fun assignment. One of my tasks was to come up with a t-shirt design for the Nemo employees that could […]

The Background on Blacktooth
Six years ago, when my brother Carey (nickname: Smokey) was still in high school, he decided to start a clothing label called Blacktooth for his senior project. The line started out with […]

For the Love of Miu Miu!
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
The Miu Miu brand began in 1992 and the collection is titled after fashion designer Miuccia Prada’s nickname. I fist discovered Miu Miu in the late 90s when I began reading fashion magazines. The whimsical, rounded logo was immediately appealing and the prim schoolgirl / lolita looks that sometimes bordered on looking like uniforms were […]
