There are times when I worry that I dress too weird for my workplace. Today I selected a wool blend jumpsuit that calls to mind Rosie the Riveter gone lux. I paired the charcoal piece with sky high heels (so I'm a creature of habit, sue me) and a layered... Continue reading

As a fan of fashion, I try to keep up with what's happening during Fashion Week / Month. If I wait until the end of Fashion Month to comb through the shows on style.com, I feel something near dread because the sheer volume of looks is overwhelming. About a week... Continue reading

It happened quite suddenly, this death of my feet. Maybe it's the years adding up on me - first, pointe shoes; then, heels every day. Yes, that's right - every day. I lived in heels for years, preferring them over no heels, or egad, low heels. I have hiked in... Continue reading

Google the phrase "flapper girl" and you'll pull up a bevy of looks from trashy polyester costumes on spray tan frames, to heavily styled (and heavy lidded) dames from the 20s. I have the divine pleasure of dressing a la Roaring Twenties for a themed costume party in late October.... Continue reading

Art, fashion, design, and music are all subject to copycats. Your very own thoughts, when shared, are likely to be copycatted (bet you didn't know the term copycat is a noun, a verb, AND an adjective). I don't mind so much, especially when it's more of a play on the... Continue reading

sucker for steven

Too good to be true, this sale at Steven Alan. I check out their wares from time to time, and yowza, now I'm pining for these treasures to make their way into my (fit to bust) closet. Because I'm a sucker for stripes: Because I'm a sucker for summer dresses... Continue reading

Лучшие друзья навсегда

If I could, I'd like to become BFFs with fashion designer Vika Gazinskaya, and fashion consultant Miroslava Duma. They're so sweetly, effortlessly stylish and likable. Vika has a penchant for headscarves and sharp lines (including her hair), while Miroslava tends toward feminine twists on menswear. They both love juxtaposition in... Continue reading

The debris from last night's fireworks hasn't yet been cleared by the street sweepers, but I'm already contemplating Autumn. Pre-Fall 2012 was presented at the beginning of the year, a mystery of the fashion world I'll never understand. Consider this a revisit of looks I'm fawning over before the leaves...

I've said it here before, and I'll say it again: I love to cut my hair. For the last *gulp* year, I've been committed to growing it out. I decided to reminisce the good, the great, and the courageous with these photos commemorating my hair-volution. Don't worry, I'm staying strong.... Continue reading

I can smell it. Can you? It's Fall creeping its damp, brown toes into the corners of our mornings. I spent the better part of my summer living in my old man Levi cut-offs, loose tanks, and ugly heeled shoes. Now I have to consider adding tights and a cardigan,... Continue reading

It just feels so right to love something so wrong. Right, ladies? Right? Always a fan of weirdo shoes. Sneakers with heels? Yes, please. Fake neon combat boots with a wedge? Oh yah. These shoes would have made me dry heave a few years ago, but suddenly I feel like... Continue reading

Summer Sales. So sexy the way those two words roll off my tongue. Totokaelo is giving up some merch at reduced, though still ridiculous, prices. I can almost entertain owning a Yohji Yamamoto jacket, or a Rick Owens dress. There are tons of sale accessories, which I find soothing to... Continue reading

anthropomorphism II

I received quite a bit of positive feedback about the first anthropomorphism post, so I thought I'd make it a regular thang. I think this means all my readers are a-holes. Enjoy! I...can't...keep...my eyes...open...too sexy... OR (yes, two choices - I'm that witty) MAC has just debuted their new line... Continue reading

No More Mr. Nice Guy Dear Doctor Love, When I first started dating my boyfriend he was so considerate. He took me out to fancy dinners, bought me flowers, and gave me little gifts. We’ve been together for six months now, but he isn’t as considerate and doesn’t do all... Continue reading
