Speaking of jewelry, another thing I've been attracted to lately in the bauble-verse is the combination of metal and leather. It can be a boring combination when designers don't put any thought or bravery behind it, but when you take ...
I am having a horrible time narrowing down my shopping cart on Shopbop to one, widely applicable piece of jewelry to add to my collection. It's excruciating, and I'm turning to you for support and guidance. Jewelry has been a ...
While the rest of the country gets battered with ridiculously low temperatures and mounds upon mounds of snow, Team Pacific Northwest is sustaining a bit of a drizzle with temperatures hovering around 40ºF. I'm not sure I want to be ...
For the last year, I've been hunting down the perfect pair of tortoiseshell wayfarers. None of the pairs I've found have the right shape, or the right color tone, or the right pattern... I'm starting to think that I'm being ...
Recently, I purchased a bag that tops any of its successors in terms of size. The other day, I found myself getting out of my car with too many things to bring inside: coffee, a container of soup, and 5lbs. ...
Gloves seem like they're quickly becoming an antiquated accessory. You don't really see people with driving gloves anymore, and you definitely don't see evening gloves unless there's a homecoming dance nearby or you have a whole lot of money and fancy ...
This year, I was particularly taken by midi rings and stacked rings, so it's about time that I found a way to streamline that affinity by combining them into one single ring, right? This ring from The Limited gives off ...
I feel like I need sunglasses more often in the wintertime than I do in summertime. Everything seems much brighter and migraine-inducing than it does in the summertime. If there's snow? Forget about it, I'm hiding behind the darkest sunglasses ...
Cashmere is something I have only in small quantities. I have a cashmere beanie somewhere, and I think I literally have a patch of cashmere on something else I own... But outside of that, I definitely consider myself to be perpetually ...
Happy Cyber Monday, if you're into that. Today, I came across this modern, versatile cuff bracelet for less than $10 and I couldn't resist posting it as the DD. In both black and white base colors, this is just minimalist ...
There's a lot of bad sparkly stuff in the world at this time of year, and it can really wear on a girl. All of the wreathes and the holiday hullabaloo are covered in a thick later of disorganized, not ...
Today, I have for you a potential addition to your "don't have to put effort into getting dressed" wardrobe. I really can't help myself when it comes to statement necklaces. I love them because they make the rest of getting ...
As a jewelry-phobe, my collection is still pretty small. I used to build my jewelry confidence by having a plethora of tiny, inconsequential necklaces on fine, skinny chains that held on minimalist charm or a tiny pendant. They were "everyday ...
I'm really excited that headphones have been getting more design attention lately, because they will likely be a constant in my life, and developing a wide and varied collection of cool headphones is something I can see myself doing. Seems ...
I probably could have turned this into some kind of "here come the BIg Scary Holidays" pun post, being that there are gold rings involved, but I took the high road and I think that was the right choice. While ...
I have a strange attraction to nude or beige-colored leather things. For the longest time, I dreamed of having a closet full of buttery leather accessories that were the exact same color as my Pac-Northwest-white girl skin. I never got my ...
Walking around H&M yesterday, I fell deeply in love with a scarf. It involved running, and unfolding and a lot of mouth-agape faces at my boyfriend. After carrying the scarf around for 15 minutes, I decided to buy it. Of course, ...
Prior to September 1st, looking at tights was as laughable as wearing pants inside your own home on a 90ºF day. Yeah, ridiculous. But now that it seems Seattle's Weather Technician has been busy at Bumbershoot over the last few ...
What's more fun that blending in with the creepers at the laundromat? I did it, myself, just recently and have to say that it was a disappointingly normal experience. Except for the part where I brought my laundry there in ...
Oh man, these sunglasses are so sweet, but they are definitely not for the visually shy. By that, I of course mean, they may make people look at you. Directly. In the face. People you don't know. Terrifying. Fortunately, these attention-attracting ...
