Friday was party-night; we celebrated Jess Estrada’s birthday at Hollyhood! I was under the weather most of last week (hence the lack of posts), but it sounded like too much fun to miss out on. I was waiting till the very last minute to pick something to wear, when I remembered this little frock the [...]
I recently re-enrolled in French classes – it’s been a long time since I’ve studied the language, but it’s a labor of love and I feel the need to refresh my brain a little on the finer points of French conjugation. To wash away my nerves, I decided to don a plucky little outfit and [...]
Growing older and fashion burnout – I sometimes wonder if the two are related? It’s a combination of work + lifestyle + body changes that happen as you age. Recently, I’ve had a hard time finding anything I want to wear – either in shops or in my closet. There’s so much drabness, or this [...]
Did I scare you? You must be startled. You were like, “Who? What the eff was that??” Yeah, it’s because obviously I’ve been out spinning in insanity while neglecting my blogspace. In truth, I hit a wall. Fashion kinda started to meld together – it all started to look the same. I know other bloggers [...]
Let’s get personal for a minute… I was looking through my Flickr and noting how I had played on my projected 2010 style direction. I was pleased at how I’d presented myself through photo, even though I completely lost track of my anticipated direction. I had a heavy series of outfit posts at the beginning of the [...]
I know some writers detest the word effortless (especially when paired with the word chic – please don’t make Wendy B. “Despenser” you!!), and I hate to say I love outfits that are effort-less. But I’m not talking about a no-effort outfit because honestly, getting up at the hour I do requires quite the brain/will-power. [...]
While we were putting together my wedding, Kimberlee mentioned the idea of a reception dress. Vintage brides would have changed out of their long, heavy gown into something more suited to socializing. It offered a way to preserve the wedding gown itself and to de-constrict the bride. Reception dresses were popular as far back as [...]
So, we are in the midst of wedding planning and I haven’t been posting with regularity. To quell your sadness/boredom/adjective, I’ve prepared a short photo update of what’s up! For example: I AM A GINGER! Also I got an excellent package of excellent goodness from Miss Eboni at the Fashionista Next Door and OH WOW [...]
I went to a “Ladies’ Tea” recently that definitely called for a little dressin’ up! To celebrate the warmer weather, some girls and I gathered at the house of a friend for tea, crumpets, petitfours and champagne. Needless to say, nobody drank tea! I snapped a couple pictures before I left the house. I bought [...]
I love the way this outfit came together with the amazing Amenaza Maxi Skirt from EtceteraPeru. The skirt is an interesting gray, with draping in the front and a backseam (it used to only go halfway up the back of the skirt, but I fixed it so it a) fit me and b) didn’t look [...]
