Mama+baby style: the cat and the fox
These past few days, I have not been feeling great about myself. About my body, about my abilities as a housewife, about my mothering… you know those moments, when there isn’t anything particularly bad about life, but it still just feels off to you? I’m going through one of those moments. And I am not crying out for comments that I don’t need to lose weight or I must be a great mother or whatever… I just want to talk about it. There are a lot of fashion bloggers who happen to be moms, but I don’t think many of them talk about life as a mom, and how it…

A Paleo Story (And an outfit with a cape)
Most of you know that I started eating mostly Paleo around the time that I got pregnant. I did a Whole30 and loved it, and then found out I was pregnant, and then had some mild repercussions from eating dairy and wheat, and basically cut most non-Paleo foods from my diet for the majority of my pregnancy. And I believe that’s why I had such a good pregnancy– as long as I was eating Paleo, I had no heartburn, no trouble sleeping, no grogginess in the morning, no back problems, no constipation, no queasiness, no stomach aches, no headaches, no swelling… none of those pesky issues that I’ve always heard…

Belated
Lo and behold, I remembered I had an outfit I hadn’t posted on the blog yet: this was one of my 30 Days of Dresses outfits that I wasn’t too fond of when I wore it (and it’s still not my favorite. But obviously I like it enough to put it up) so I never did a blog post about it. Actually, I remember hating all of the pictures when I looked through them the first time. But now that it’s been over a month (they’re from April 21st! I can’t believe that’s already a month ago), I found a few that I liked. I also realized that I never…

30 Days of Dresses: A Bit Like Alice.
Follow the new blog with Bloglovin And here it is! The new and permanent site. I am very excited to be hosting my own website, very slightly because I can take on some sponsors, but mostly because I have full control over how the blog looks now. And after lots of searching, lots of playing with header size and theme, copy-pasting color hexes, fiddling with CSS and temporarily killing my site because I really shouldn’t fiddle with CSS (mostly: I have no idea what I’m doing other than changing the colors (that’s easy) and editing the width of the blog), I think I’ve finally gotten it to look nearly how…

My Moon, My Man
I have had this song stuck in my head all day. Actually, make that the last two days. I sang it in the shower last night, at work yesterday, at work this morning, between pictures today… it’s a catchy tune. I realized the other day– when I posted that photoshoot of myself— that I’ve been downplaying my tendencies to edit my pictures because I’ve sort of… unconsciously been trying to “fit in” with all the other fashion bloggers. Who don’t really edit their pictures at all. And it wasn’t until someone commented that the pictures looked more artistic than my normal that I realized I was doing this. I was…
