These photos were taken right after I made a much needed stop at Saint Cupcake. What’s your favorite flavor? Mine is vanilla with vanilla frosting. And, it pretty much goes without saying that if I could incorporate something type-related into my outfit every single day, I most definitely would. This Sonia Rykiel sweater is no [...]

During a few day stopover in New York back in February, I found this Sweetweart shirt on an impromptu raid of Forever 21 with Gala. Since then, I’ve been wearing it every chance I get, including an ill-conceived adventure to the annual brewfest along Portland’s waterfront a few weeks back where drunk patrons yelled “sweetheart” [...]

When it comes to vintage clothing, I am firmly in the 60s mod camp. I like my dresses streamlined, angular and above the knee. Whenever we’re together, I tend to leave the 50s glamour girl looks to Gala. With her platinum blond hair and a few inches of extra height, the 50s silhouettes suit her [...]

I’ve been on such a huge neon kick lately! Not head-to-toe neon, mind you, but just in tiny doses. Most notably, neon nails and shoes are taking center stage in my wardrobe. There’s something decidedly modern about taking a streamlined, slightly mod silhouette and adding the equivalent of an exclamation point at the end. This [...]

Monochrome looks are my default choice. After all, when getting dressed in the morning, half of the time I’m too tired to put any look together that contains multiple colors of the rainbow. But, it might come as a surprise that about half of my closet is comprised of color. Though I usually try to [...]

I hope you had a great weekend! I spent the entirety of mine in my office driving myself crazy while everyone else was outside having fun. But that’s life sometimes! A few weeks back, Motel sent me the Jordan Jean in black and white stripes. I’d been wanting these for quite awhile (hello, stripes!) but [...]

To my American readers, I hope you had a great 4th! I wasn’t exactly in the mood to wear red, white and blue this year. Instead, I decided to sport a vintage Girl Scout uniform and what’s more all-American than that?! I’ve always loved the vintage Girl Scout uniforms and actually had this exact one [...]

I was at Shareen Vintage in LA with Gala and Jazzi a few weeks back when I spotted this dress. Sure, beige isn’t normally my power color but what grabbed by attention was the lederhosen-esque pocket detailing. I’ve been wearing lederhosen since the ripe old age of four and, well, I’m a bit obsessed (buckskin [...]

I’ve mentioned this before but I’ll say it again: I love uniforms. Maybe it’s because I always went to public school and had the chance to wear the craziest outfits any time I wanted (and trust me, to my parent’s embarrassment, I took full advantage of that freedom). When I think back, I never had [...]

Good morning, I hope your week is off to a great start! A good friend recently sent me this jacket and I can’t get enough of it! Over the weekend, I couldn’t decide which way to wear it so I did two looks — one featuring jeans and another featuring a dress. I Wore: Zipper [...]
