Category: what i wore

  • adding gold toes.

    Last Friday morning, I saw this post on A Cup of Jo and dropped everything to make my own version. It's strange, some projects are like that… I see something and then cannot think about anything else until I have completed my own version. (The taped desk and yarn vases are other examples.) I had…

  • west coast vs. east coast / polka dot style.

    Last week, I was excited to get an email from my friend, Kelly Purkey, asking if I'd like to join her in a West Coast vs East Coast style post this month. Kelly usually pairs up with Amy Tan, but since Amy was in Australia (!) she thought it would be fun for me to…

  • what i wore / a week of working out of the house.

    The trouble with working from home is that I never seem to pull outfits together. Jeans and an American Apparel v-neck might as well be my uniform. I didn't think that would fly at Kolo last week, so I had fun packing and planning outfits for my visit. I didn't intend on following a color…

  • summer essentials.

    Just for fun, I thought I would do a round-up of my favorite summer beauty products. Most of them are actually my favorites year round – but summer especially. It's important to note : I have very fair skin. Sun protection is my number one goal. I have very fine hair. Not shedding what little…

  • (first ever) what i wore post. (at least i think it is.)

    I don't think anyone requested "what I wore" posts when I asked for suggestions the other day. But personally, I love style posts when they pop up on other blogs, so I am going to try and work a few in over here. PLUS, I think they are going to encourage me to pull myself…
