    Valentine’s Day Lookbook: Casual

    Today’s post is going to be short; my usually complacent baby has been going through some sleeping and eating changes — he eats more and sleeps less — so I’ve had very little time to do much but feed, hold, and change him… and sleep when he’s sleeping. You always know you’ll be tired after you have a baby, but you never realize that means you’ll be staying in bed until 11am because you only catch 2-3 hours of sleep at once, no matter what time of the day it is, which makes for much shorter days when you also have work to do and a house to clean. Plus,…

    Addicted, much?

    I finally feel like I wear enough red to evidence that it’s my favorite color. Adding that red skirt to my wardrobe seemed to open it up to wearing SO much more red, even though I already own a few red items. Have you ever bought a piece of clothing that kind of opened up your eyes to wearing other clothing items in way more different ways? I have this theory running lately that how I want to be perceived has largely to do with what my head looks like. I’ve been doing this curl thing for a few days now, and I think it makes my style lean vastly more…

    Summer Wishes

    Under the light of full disclosure, I only wore these sandal wedges for half the day. See, when we left our house, it was sunny and windless, and while not necessarily warm, at least it wasn’t cold. But then, of course, I had the brilliant idea to take photos downtown by the water where it’s naturally colder and windier, and basically… froze my toes off. After we were done, I immediately changed into a nice warm coat and some comfy flats! Ah, the things we do for outfit pictures! My lovely husband endured the cold with me, thank goodness. I’m getting used to taking pictures on my own, but there’s definitely…

    Valentine’s Day Lookbook: Modern

    For the month of February, I am going to overload you all with Valentine’s-day inspired posts. Hopefully everything from outfits to makeup ideas to some healthier (but still sweet) desserts to a DIY and a giveaway. However, it might be hard because a) I have no internet at home yet, and b) I kind of don’t have a laptop any more either. Right now, I’m at my mom’s house stealing her lappy and her internets. Still, I will try! I’m determined to get back into the blogging game no matter what it takes. I miss blogging. For the first look, merely because it’s the only one I’ve photographed, I’ve got…

    Owls on parade

    This was one of those days where I felt extremely lazy when I woke up, and I wanted to wear my new red pants. So I didn’t shower, I wore the makeup I’d slept in, and put on some red lipstick and a hat in hopes nobody would notice how lazy I had been. I think it worked. And this is one of those outfits that I rarely post, for two reasons: one, it doesn’t quite fit my preferred aesthetic of retro/1940’s at all, and two, it shows off my hips, which I am not fond of. Don’t get me wrong, in person I feel just fine wearing skinny jeans,…
