My husband and I took a walk in a park that’s within a small community not too far from us and to our shock and delight, we saw a deer. In a city park. We couldn’t believe our eyes. They are not that common a sight even when one goes hiking outside the city, but…
Monochrome Black: Lace-Up Top and Leather Skirt
I put together another monochrome black look. I think I might be developing a pattern. This one is really simple too with more classic elements. I love the little details that keep this look from being boring; like the lace-up potions at the shoulders of the top and the leather texture of the skirt. Sometimes…
How to Wear a Slip Dress: Navy Velvet Top and Black Slip Dress
Slip dresses are such an easy piece to style once you get the hang of them. They are lovely on their own whether they have a pattern or not and regardless of the fabric and there are so many possibilities for things to wear with them. On its own, a slip dress is an elegant…
From Above: Long Sleeve Floral Top, Lace Tights and Shorts
I found these lilacs growing at the bottom of a hill while driving by hence the unusual angle for the photos. The smell was amazing and they’re such pretty flowers. I love all the various purple shades they come in as well and the sometimes crisp white. We have officially made…
Into the Woods: Graphic Tee, Ripped Jeans and Combat Boots
This was my first hiking trip of the season. I took it easy as I shook myself from my winter hibernation and prowled the woods in search of the summer sun. I think I found the spring version, but you take what you can get. Of course this arduous journey had to be comfortable so…
Voluminous: Gathered Sleeve Button-Up Blouse and White Jeans
I love large sleeves in my tops and dresses. It doesn’t matter whether they’re gathered or loose and flared, I love them all. Something about the look feels a bit medieval to me and as a lover of high fantasy, this is a time period that I romanticize quite a bit in my head. I…
Hello Spring: Bohemian Chiffon Tunic and Faux Leather Leggings
I was feeling under the weather for around a week and almost didn’t spend any time outside. I was shocked to find things so much greener than when I last saw them only a week later. Spring has finally arrived and trees and bushes are starting to acquire buds and young leaves. It’s truly lovely….
In the Wind: Velvet Top, Floral Wrap Skirt, Plaid Shirt, Faux Leather Jacket and Ankle Boots
I knew as soon as I saw this wrap skirt that I needed to have it. It matched my style perfectly despite not being the easiest piece to style. I like incorporating it into a look with a rock-n-roll vibe like the one I’m wearing here. The black velvet top is a nice neutral way…
The Belt: Scarf as a Belt, Jeans Ripped at the Knees, Boots, Rust Sweater and Faux Leather Jacket
Sometimes there are days when I’m just feeling uninspired and bored with all my usual tricks or maybe my usual tricks just don’t seem to be working. This was such a day. I remember grabbing scarf after scarf and tying them around my neck in various ways and none of them feeling right. The same…
Monochrome Black: Faux Fur Collar Sweater, Ripped Jeans, Faux Leather Jacket and Sequin Combat Boots
I usually like to take photos in a more natural setting so I thought I’d change things up a bit and do some in front of a brick wall. I kind of like it. It provides a nice contrast to the look without being too distracting, but nature themed backgrounds are still my favorite. What…
