Soothe My Soul

Since it seems I’ve been standing on a soapbox talking about second hand shopping & independent brands, I thought I’d revisit this delightfully rocker chic brand I partnered with on Instagram last year: Pink Sheep Heiress.…

Retro Paisley Button Up + Shopping Second Hand Fashion

The 70s are alive and well in more ways than one. Ever since last summer I’ve been getting deep into house music with a retro disco twist. Denis Sulta, the Scottish DJ I saw at Bass Coast last year sealed my fandom with his song L&S (You Mean Everything) that has all the best qualities of two genres of music I didn’t realize could be combined so perfectly.…

Velvet Blazer

I’ve always wanted to wear blazers, but every time I put one on and look in the mirror, it just doesn’t quite feel right. Maybe it just feels too formal or too preppy, but every time I’ve bought one, it’s ended up in the donation bin or given to a friend.…

Keep Me Warm In the Winter Light

I’m getting very bored with winter. A few days ago it was sunny and in the mid-50s here in the Seattle area and it felt delightfully like spring. On an excursion after brunch, my partner and I stopped at Home Depot and I beelined straight for the seeds (I’m very anxious to start a garden), and upon checking the seed packets discovered everything should be planted in May around here. Hmph. Foiled for the time being and a nice reminder that it is still January. But, let’s move on and talk about these velvet palazzo pants.…

5 Over the Top, Over the Knee Boots

I bought my first pair of Over the Knee boots this year, and then promptly bought a second pair by Michael Kors because they just happened to go on sale a week after I had purchased a different pair.…

A Holiday Look That Isn’t a Dress

I’m not a normal dresser when it comes to holiday wear. If I have an excuse to dress up I tend to go on the edgier side of things. Last year for my partner’s holiday party at a whisky distillery, I wore a faux leather dress that zipped up in the front with a plunging neckline. If you’re not so into the edgy look though, here’s a tamed down holiday look that isn’t a dress with just enough sparkle to feel festive.…

Shopping My Own Closet

As I opened another shipment full of clothes my partner sighed and said, “You have an addiction.” “I knoooow,” I replied. I love to shop and sometimes I forget what’s in my closet.…

Style Edit: Red & Black

I’m notorious for dressing in black all the time and I rarely wear what I’d like to call a power color in addition to black. Red is a power color: it stands out, it’s fierce and aggressive. Red & black together make a power color couple and I’ve selected some of my favorite pieces from Clothing, Shoes and Accessories that scream fierceness. This is a color combo I adore for holiday looks for those who are into a more alternative, dark style and with Thanksgiving just around the corner here in the United States, I hope this style edit post will spark some ideas!…
