    October 1st

    I really, really wanted to do a first of October post, and it looks like I am just barely making it! I tried today, really I did, haha! But Asa is teething, and has been unusually clingy today. Which I don’t mind at all; that just meant I didn’t shower until he took his very short nap this morning, and then I spent most of the day between watching him and photographing more vintage items to go up in the shop, so I didn’t have time to snap actual outfit pictures until my husband got home. Isn’t this sweater just perfect for fall? I saw it and I HAD to…

    A New Way to Wear a Scarf

    I just got five beautiful new silk scarves from a recent garage-sale-ing trip, and I have been wracking my brain for new ways to wear them, so that I can showcase the gorgeous prints on the scarves. I mean, wearing them as headscarves only goes so far, and only coordinates with so many outfits. Plus, as a headscarf, you can’t see the full prettiness of the scarf. So when I was playing with my outfit this morning, I felt pretty smart for realizing I could wear the scarf like this. I love the way it looks! Especially with this skirt, which is my new favorite. It’s from Oasap, and it…

    6 Tips for Taking Good Outfit Photos On Your Own

    A few days ago, one of my lovely long-time readers asked what my secrets are for taking good outfit pictures on my own. Most of you probably know that half the time I take my own photos, and the other half, my husband takes them. Secretly, I prefer taking my own outfit pictures — I have more artistic control, I know the shots I want, and to me it’s just fun. Plus then I’m not rushed.  However, taking outfit photos by yourself can be tricky, and I am still learning things after 10 years of taking my own photos. Here are my top 6 tips. 1. Buy a tripod!

    May Day

    I am writing this post from outside. I mean. I cannot believe the weather this week! It’s been absolutely gorgeous, and very summery even though I feel like we just started spring! And can you believe it’s May already? I feel like this year is just flying by; I think having a baby really makes life speed up. So much has already happened– baby, birthday, moving — I can’t wait to see what else comes this year! I had another set of photos I was going to share today, but then I realized what day it was and decided that May 1st should definitely be welcomed in with a flowery…

    Penguins and Diamonds

    We are almost finished moving! I’m so happy to be pretty much over with the hardest part; now all we have left is to transfer those last little bits and pieces, clean up the house a little, and be done! And then I have to organize everything to fit into the room we’ve moved into (in my parents’ house) so that we’re not tripping over each other! It’s a bit weird going from a whole house to one room, but at least we don’t have a ton of stuff yet. Our house was pretty small, and most of it is going into storage. I’m super excited to be living with…
