You know that moment when you’re a kid, and you realize your first movie hero? Or Heroine, as it were… This was definitely my movie. I wanted to be a rollerskating muse so bad as a kid. And strangely, I haven’t grown out of it; probably because as far as goofy fun goes, this is [...]
I’ve been taken, recently, with delicate, beautiful charm bracelets. Let’s face it – cuffs have been a huge thing for ages, and I’m ready to turn them all in, in exchange for something prettier, something lighter, and something a little less flashy. Of course, I’m looking for uniqueness and substance, and I feel like there [...]
My 10 year reunion just happened and though I did not attend (I was working. OH! and it’s a 9 hour drive each way), I spent some time contemplating the reunion and thinking about what I’d wear if I went. Reunions are complicated things. On the one hand, you fear that you’ll need to impress [...]

At a recent party, I was talking to a francophone friend of mine who mentioned my Style and the Sartorialist article. She pointed out how inspiring French ladies are with their limited means, even on [...]
While flipping through June’s Elle last night, (I go through it a couple times, once for the pretty pictures, once for the articles and once to tear all my favorite images out of) I stumbled across a quote that seemed incredibly relevant: “It just reminds us how different “real” women and celebrities are when it [...]
UPDATE: FERISHIA – You won! I emailed you, darling, and can’t WAIT to hear back from you! Hope to see you at Haute Summer Night! If you’re in Seattle, and at all interested in fashion, you’ve probably received a Facebook invite for Haute Summer Night: Fashion on the Boardwalk. It will be a carnival-inspired evening dedicated to [...]
So last assignment for Pretty Shiny Sparkly’s Bloggers Do It Better involved pairing neon with neutrals. Since I don’t really… own any neon colored pieces, I went for the next best thing – as bright as I could get.
