Big day tomorrow....
Tomorrow I have a pretty big Monday if you will. Work and personal life are both contributing factors, which I will not go into. The point is my anxiety is kicking in full force. The only way I know how to settle this is to plan my outfits in advance, kind of weird but that’s me. So in my hunt for the perfect Monday outfit I found the perfect accessory. A beautiful necklace that I got at a...

Fave Girl right now.
Alexa Chung has fast become my fave “it” girl right now. As a style icon and just over all beautiful girl. She is so hip I can barely stand it. These are some photos I found of her online. She also regularly graces the pages of all the top fashion magazines. She has an effortless style that makes you just want to be her pal. She always has on amazing outfits and I just wanted to take a...
Go get that sun shine
Go out and enjoy this beautiful sun shine. It won’t last long here in Seattle. Here are some photos to get you moving :)
West Coast Western
For the first time in a long while, I have gotten up in enough time to get my clothes and all my makeup on before I leave for work every day this week. A small success but a very important one. Today I even lined my eyes with a purple/pink eye shadow. I know I really went all out (sarcastic tone.) I also wore my favorite “By Corpus” jeans, a vintage cami from my Metros (that’s...
Books to Buy....
These are three of my favorite fashion books. I flip through the pages time and time again, always inspired and always amused. Over the years the outfits might become outdated but the artistic vision of the people in the pictures will not. “Misshapes” is great for party outfits and makeup ideas. “What I wore today” is perfect for everyday wear and some cute work outfits....
a second take for the 90's
Being a girl who was born and raised in and around Seattle in the 90’s, it is safe to say I was more than excited to see 90’s fashion coming back. Reminder: I’m also in to really ugly and sort of tragic clothes. However, I’m having a hard time working these “grunge” looks into my day to day. It all feels fairly dark for spring/summer. Black tights really just don’t feel like 70 degree weather to...
Happy Memorial Day!
Happy Memorial Day to all!!!!! I hope you all are having as nice of a day as me. The boyf and I took a nice stroll around the neighborhood and then made tacos. Plus for once in my life we have had a beautiful weekend here in Seattle, just over 70 degrees everyday. Just the type of weather that calls for a light weight summer dress and some shades. I added my new fringe bag into the mix for just...
summer outfitting
Outfitting for summer is all about print and colors. Taking inspiration from photos is key for any seasons outfitting. What you should be getting from these photos is a feeling. This feeling is what I try and recreate when I get dressed in the morning. Weird but effective.
The middle of a long weekend.
This has, so far, been one of the most pleasantly busy weekends this year. Each day has just gone so smoothly I can barely believe it. My friend Squillie, her boyf and I went to the Folk Life Festival (hippie fest) which happens every year near where we live. The festival has music, food, and many booths selling clothes and gems. Each year I go, despite the crowds, to get some strawberry short...
