my top five closet storage solutions

I just realized that I never got around to sharing my closet/dressing room here! I've taken some photos where you can spot some of it in the background, but I never did a full-out tour post like I intended. Anyway, it occurred to me that some of my organization methods might be somewhat useful so I thought I'd...

fashions of 1965

I was flipping through a 'Teen magazine from 1965 that I got recently and came across an article called "Swing into the '65 Discotheque Look." I absolutely fell in love with the photos and the style that falls somewhere between early 60's prim and late 60's psychedelic. For instance, I love how the dress in the...

how one dress changed my life

This dress was sent to me from Le Bomb Shop on ebay. I am *so* excited to be collaborating with them, you have no idea. A little backstory:When I was 13 I started watching classic films religiously, and I wished so badly I could dress like the glamorous ladies in the movies. Despite the fact that my dad owned...

autumn wishlist

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 It's been a while since I did a wishlist wednesday (I don't seem to have as much time for online-shopping nowadays, which I guess is a good thing for my wallet!) so I thought I'd put together a little list of things I'm coveting from Modcloth for fall! As much as I adore my...

serendipity

Last week Susannah posted some items from her closet to sell on instagram and I was SO excited when I saw this dress! It was one of the first Modcloth items I ever fell in love with, about three years ago, but I missed out and always regretted not buying it when I had the chance. It's just as pretty in person...

a scathingly brilliant idea

I had an idea the other day that I wish so much could become reality, but unfortunately it involves time travel (most of my ideas do, actually.)

ballet memories

When I first put on this beautiful silk miniskirt, sweet memories of ballet class started coming back to me. I started ballet (and tap) when I was three, and kept going through high school. I think I loved the practice outfits even more than the fancy recital costumes. I used to wear my leotards and twirly ballet...

The Birds

Last night my family and I went to see The Birds on the big screen! Naturally I dressed for the occasion ;) I wore a bird print dress, a bird necklace and a black bird in my hair! The Birds is one of my favorite Hitchcock films, and (in my opinion) his scariest. It's always creeped me out when I watched it at...
