I've always had a love for robots, and the idea of biomechanical... things-that-won't-turn-on-us-and-enslave-us. This also played into my need for flesh-colored shoes a long time ago. Every so often, a robot sneaks into my inspiration board and takes over, as ...
Ever since I had to return my lovely yet star-crossed Anvils, I've been waiting for Steve Madden to show me the perfect boot, during a perfect sale, so I could use my perfect 20% discount to procure a perfect replacement ...
Formal attire as casual attire is one of my ultimate favorite styles. It's kind of a combination of an "eff you" to convention and a little bit of class... something different, you know? Coloring outside the lines as far as ...

The fall/winter 2011 season is definitely going to be a time of of exploratory denim for me. I've reclaimed flares, embraced jeggings, and I am quickly moving towards a new GAP creation called the Skinny Bootcut. So pretty, right? Of ...
Bugs get a bad rap. They are sneaky, surprising, and generally very unwelcome when considering something that has lots of hair, occasionally fangs, and/or the need to stay on your body as long as possible once they're on. Sometimes, no ...
If Ke$ha jumped off a bridge, would you follow? If she designed watches for Baby-G, would you wear them? ...
Dear Capes, I know we've never talked much, and to be frank I'm a little afraid you'll read this letter wondering who I am, and why I would write you. But we have a connection, however tenuous, and my hope ...
For I don't know how long, I've been missing out on White House, Black Market. Lindsay and I saw an ad for WHBM while flipping through the latest In Style, and she filled me in on the details: WHBM began ...
While the temperature in the Pacific Northwest has been hovering around the REALLY HOT, that doesn't mean that autumn is stalling. Before long, we'll be reminiscing about the day we thought the heat would never die. We'll be wrapped up ...
When I was in high school, I had a think for long coats. I had a leopard print trench coat that old school friends I run into still remember... But my favorite coat of all was barely a coat at ...
Ohmygodsnakeskinisback. By "snakeskin" I mean python (because everything needs a new name each go-round), by "back" I mean trending for fall, and by "ohmygod" I mean OH MY GOD. Yeah, yeah, I'm an ethical fashion blogger. I know. I'm not ...
Sometimes I get caught up on words. It's part of the job, I think - writing a lot equals thinking about the meaning of words a lot - but sometimes it keeps me from all that visual lovin' and leaves ...
The one item that I will probably continue to have in my closet forever, in constant rotation: jeans. Naturally, they'll be in good company with socks, skivvies and bras... But those are even more variable in style than jeans. ...

As I was whining about poppies - - I was also looking at seafoam. Nature is my bitch. And now I'm nature's. Lindsay and I both firmly believe that this outfit is doing everything right forever. The striped seafoam green ...
If I had to name one thing that almost all of my outfits have in common, it would be layering. I have something like ten cardigans, fifteen year-round camisoles (v-neck, lacy, silky, striped...) and if I have to wear only ...
