Can you believe it’s November already? Where has this year gone? I’ve been recovering from being sick almost all of October and that’s just the worse. I’m anxious to get back into the routine of barre classes so that I don’t spend another winter not working out.…
It’s been chilly the past few days, feeling like full on fall is here, but today is sunny and warm with a very crisp autumn chill in the air. This time of the year makes me feel incredibly nostalgic for days long since past.…
Well ya caught me. Last week I was bitching about Halloween candy being in stores and then today while out grocery shopping, Ryan & I passed the decorations to which I exclaimed, “Ooh, I want to buy all the things Halloween!” Ryan then promptly called me out. Whoops. I can’t help it though. Autumn is a profound season for me mentally. Perhaps because some of the most impressionable moments from my teen years were in Autumn, so a very deep nostalgia is felt when I smell the leaves & have Depeche Mode playing. It’s a romantic season. you could say I worship it. The pulling out of boots, sweaters and scarves; the purchasing of autumn scented candles; playing Celtic music playlists I’ve carefully curated for the season; these are my rituals. I wish I could explain the Celtic music one. I’ve always been drawn to the British Isles & their ancient past. I’ve romanticized it quite a bit in my head & though I’ve never been, I have this very clear idea of what autumn in the UK looks like. Though I’ll get to find that out for myself in a few weeks!

It’s the funky nature of the white platform that I love. It stands out, especially if the rest of the shoe is a bright color. I’m obsessed with this trend this year. Seattle has been unusually hot this year and my ankle boots are sometimes way too much (it’s that warm). The brand I’ve been loving has been Bucco, which is over on Hautelook quite a bit, but since it’s a flash sale site, I usually miss my size. I just discovered these over on Zooshop, which I literally discovered tonight, and again, these just fuel my love for these sky high platforms even more. They’re a statement piece and can really make a jean & t-shirt combo instantly fab. 1. Savin / 2. Enya / 3. Beck / 4. Therapy / 5. Lab Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Looking forward to floating at the lake tomorrow in this heat. xoxo, Steph Follow Me On: BLOGLOVIN’ | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM…
Another month, another hair cut, another color change. Last December my stylist convinced me to just go all the way and get an undercut. She took the clippers and shaved off inches of hair on the right side of my head. My heart fluttered, my eyes got wide for a moment, and then when she finished and went to go mix up my purple color I turned my head to the side. Damn. DAMN. And I realized I would actually look pretty ok if I shaved my head. I’m not THAT adventurous with this ol’ head of hair, but it was a reassuring realization. After a fresh coat of dazzling purple was applied, and the rest all trimmed off, I left feeling like a motherfucking shield maiden. Like Lagertha in Vikings. I felt badass. And I still do. With Game of Thrones starting, of course I’m envious of Daenerys’ badass outfits and Sansa’s jewelry. So Yesterday I was walking around feeling fierce with my gold necklace & undercut. I wanted to walk around saying, “I’m not a queen, a khaleesi!” So with summer approaching, here are few items I think are worthy of a khaleesi. 1. dress of athena |…
