On any given weekday day, I can almost always be found carrying at least two bags: my regular purse; a tote with my lunch, snacks, a pair of comfy shoes (in case that catastrophic Seattle earthquake ever happens and I ...
(The other post title option was "in the navy" and that's just too cheesy, even for me.) I've clearly fallen into some kind of navy haze. I'm not sure what happened, or when, but all of a sudden I went from telling ...
It's candy season!! The season of holidays and overindulgence and really hot ovens is finally upon us, and with it comes approximately two pounds of refined sugar for each of us. Ahhh, America. I don't do too much candy-huffing, to be ...
This post is actually a by-product of my quest for a white lace dress. I had never realized how many navy blue lace garments there were out there, and moreover, I had never realized how much I really liked it. ...
"Oh shit, look at all these shoes at Target." "Oh shit, look at all this everything at Target." ...everything at Target would be too big a post, so I'll just talk about some wedge booties I bought this weekend. These are the ...
Sea-farin' jacks ne'er mind much about yer trimmin's or yer linings... We prefer them wimmenz and shillings, ho-ho! Maybe some-a them fancy corsairs be rummagin' through the costume racks'n'boxes in the ports, but ne'er nay a true buccaneer! I seen the ...
Cleo Ferin Swallow Pattern Collar, $47 The history of the peter pan collar is clearly a rich and... semi-subversive one! I was originally inspired to dig up said history once I realized that I was seeing collars everywhere. Not just on ...
I bought baby blue sequin leggings and I've been wearing them around the house with everything from a neon yellow silk top to my pajama shirt. I wear them just to wear them, basically, and I want to stop these ...
It is a minefield of knock-offs and reproductions out there in Sneaker World right now, and it's all thanks to Isabel Marant and her wedge sneakers. They're adorable, no doubt, but they've definitely rocket-fueled the loud & proud sneaker takeover because all ...
Did you see it? Did you see it go by? That was summer. Yep, it's gone. G-O-N-E. We had it for a week, and now it's back to normal, mediocre temperatures. 65°F in the middle of August? Seattle weather, you're ...
I saw an editorial in some Big Magazine years and years ago... I remember it like it was yesterday! The girl was wearing a red, jersey, column skirt that hit her about 3 inches below the knees, and underneath, she ...
Remember "The Naked Dress" from Sex And The City? (I've decided that I really need to just buckle down and watch the entire series start to finish, as I've never seen it. I'm not sure why The Naked Dress was ...
I just found out that I, at the ripe old age of 27, will be returning to school. (I think it has everything to do with the budget backpacks that aren't ugly post, don't you? Good mojo, there.) So, in the ...

Everyone needs a matching set of undies. They don't have to be fancy and they certainly don't need to be expensive, but they do need to match. Sporting a matching bra and panty, even if it's in boring cotton and ...
Hearing the phrase "body chains" used to call up imagery of Princess Leia and Kate Moss In The 90s, for me... But after seeing this chain cape, I'm starting to wonder if people are starting to appreciate this old-school accessory ...
For something so loud and, let's be real, tacky as floral wedges, they have an impressive amount of staying power. I'm still seeing them being churned out by creative designers and on the feet of stylish people - and they still look ...
This extra-wild version of a neat & tidy pattern is exactly what my closet needs to wake up a little! Once autumn hits, all memories of cut-offs and sandals will be gone, and I'll have to start a daily argument with ...
I'm in the market for a new journal, and this time, I want something rustic. ...Who am I kidding? I'm always in the market for a new journal. I collect them, like trinkets, to sit around until the day I need a ...
Sonia Rykiel likes to get all up in your face with her clothing, and I really, really like that. And while it's completely impossible to find anything about what the intentions behind this design are, I like to think it's ...
