1990s Lumberjack Chic
It’s been a long time since I’ve done a “fashion blog” post. I’ll admit that, since I started working in wardrobe (as opposed to costuming), I’ve really started to dress like crap. I don’t know if it’s that I have to be easily mobile/have pockets/be on my feet all day or if it’s because I now have to care way more about how others look than myself — but it’s taken a toll. However, I had a day...

A Cornucopia of Snapshots!
Being a twenty-something, American female, I sometimes like to partake in a very specific ritual any time I receive an online shopping order. Today, with thanks to Photobooth, you will have to endure this pastime. Why, yes. This is me trying on a beige romper with three different sets of…leg accessories. I’m thinking I may have to invest in some cognac or chocolate colored knee...

Miami Vices
It’s Sunday, and I’ll be the only one in the office. I feel like I should be allowed to mix the casualness of jorts with the dressiness of heels. I take these stupid pictures of my outfit (though not revealing my suspenders, for whatever reason), and it hits me. I look like a frickin’ Kardashian today. Most people would scowl at this realization, but, oh, not me! I find this to...

WatchFive more outfits for those of you playing along! Is that not the most unforgiving black dress you’ve ever seen? It adds to my birthing hips like nobody’s business.

So, I was on the fence about the whole shoddy outfit picture thing, right? Right. Well, you guys were so encouraging that I decided to show you ALL the pictures from 2010 so far (excluding the bathing suit shots…you’re welcome). Please feel free to point and laugh. For extra laughs, only focus on the dog(s) in each picture. There are a few where Kava has a feather...

Work Wear: Feelin' Sassy
May 7, 2010:
Caroline recently posted a few photos of Chloë Sevigny, and it again sparked my love for Chlo and her drool-worthy fashion. She has always been someone whose style I admire, and — because of her — I hereby vow to care just a little bit more about how I look each day. The infamous Cher Horowitz once said, “I don’t rely on mirrors, so I always take...

April 14, 2010: Can we reflect a moment on how brilliant Madonna was? This is, by far, the best MTV VMA performance of all time. Madonna was a perfectionist, and this video is a tribute to her hard work. I vividly remember doing this dance in my bathroom mirror as a kid; it explains way too much.

Rodarte For Target
December 24, 2009:
This tag was the cause of a lot of anticipation for me these past few weeks. Rodarte released their Target line, and I ran over today to peruse the dainty goods. Feminine, delicate, and reminiscent of the 1950s, I was overwhelmed with girly joy when I finally located the racks. Admittedly, the quality was obviously compromised in order for the garments to adhere to the...

Hey, Hey! Gift Day!
December 18, 2009: I did quite a bit of holiday shopping today, and I was refusing to buy anything for myself. Well, I caved and got two little treats. Please take a gander and share in my excitement. Feast thine eyes upon my new Red Mega Shoes! They’re almost four inches tall, making me of average height. They’re delicious red leather platform pumps that will go perfectly with...

Bangs, Anyone?
November 12, 2009 I’m having one of those days (okay, months) where I just want to cut bangs so I have something to hide my face behind. Anyone else ever consider mutilating their locks for a bit of privacy? No?

A Spot O' Tea, M'Lady

I finally got my adorable teapot and teacup necklace from the beautiful and talented Kaleigh. Kaleigh is the artist/owner behind Unexpected Expectancy, which is a company I have supported and featured here several times. She has the most...

Alice in Etsyland

I am so excited about a recent Etsy purchase! Kaleigh has quite a knack for creating delicate, beautiful treasures…and I get to have my very own. If it weren’t for a hideous allergy to nickel, I would buy everything in her shop. This is the piece I will own soon: She is so kind, she even checked the nickel content for me! She really goes the extra mile for her...

The Winner!
May 2, 2009: Drum roll, please… Ta-Da! Above is the winning dress to showcase my new accessories (seen in the post below) from all the suggestions emailed to me. Jada of HipIncognito fame suggested quite a few lovely options for my future jersey knit summer dress, but I had to agree with her top choice. This dress is flowy, simple, chic, and has the plunging neckline to house the doilie...

What I Wore: An Easter Homage
April 13, 2009 (in a chubby state of being:
When I first started this website, I mentioned a blog I truly admire: What I Wore. To summarize, a Manhattan Fashion Design Director posts her daily outfits for all to see — PLUS she tells you where she got every item! Like me, she is quite thrifty in her purchases. Well, I may not be as stylish or as statuesque as Jessica Schroeder, but...

NIGEL BARKER IN FAIRHOPE, ALABAMA!
March 18, 2009:
Beautiful Nigel Barker, I heard from a viable source that you are perusing local coffee shops in Fairhope, Alabama this afternoon. Despite the fact that Fairhope is your wife’s hometown, I’m pretty sure you’re in my neck of the woods so that you can whisk me away to America’s Next Top Model: Foxy Ladies Under 5’7, which I cannot believe is a...

March 16, 2009: Bathing Suit Season is sneaking up on us all. With all this beautiful weather on the coast of Alabama, I have to start purchasing quickly! I need your help, though. I am extremely indecisive, especially when it comes to my degree of looking repulsive pool-side. So, with the help of some photos and a poll, you get to aid me in choosing my summer look. In fact, I have even altered...

America's Next Top...Person
February 17, 2009: Dear Tyra Banks, I have no remorse for the fact that I watch “America’s Next Top Model” marathons as often as possible. I can’t wait until March 4th, which is when the new season starts. As I was doing my ANTM homework the other day…you know, practicing making my eyes smile in the mirror…I thought to myself, my signature walk is being...

Not only do you get to view the outfit she wore that day, but she goes the extra mile to explain her...

Best Halloween Misery-Causing Costume
October 23, 2008:
Maybe she hates the Neomexicanismo movement. Maybe she hates Diego Rivera’s cheating ways. Maybe the wig is just itchy. Whatever the reason, this baby does notwant to be dressed as Frida Kahlo for Halloween. Her exquisite pain can be overlooked — by her parents and by us, the viewers — due to its adorability.
