As some of you may know, I applied for a competition at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago – for the “Month at the Museum,” which consists of you living there for 30 days with limited access to the outside world. Details at http://www.msichicago.org/matm. It was interesting because I realized how quickly I [...]

Looking Forward to Fall
I’m just starting to get the September issues of my magazines – the official Fall books – and flipped to this in Elle. I’m not not a Scarlett Johansson fan (I think a lot of people confuse boobs for beauty), and I will admit she reminds me of Marilyn Monroe, but I was blown away [...]
Vintage Shorts
This is the updated dressier version of my 4th of July outfit. Added a belt and amazing Jessica Simpson shoes – I think I was over 6′ in them.
Knuckle-Like Ring
A friend of mine was wearing this knuckle ring last night. The concept isn’t too new (and is still great in my opinion), but I’ve never seen one like this just running under your fingers. I reminded me of Sybil’s former finger piercing.
Apartment Exploration
I’m finally getting to work on the industrial serger I bought a few months ago (whoops), and was going through my other serger box (yes, I have a problem buying machines) and came across old tags I had printed and made from back in the day. I remember getting them printed but totally forgot that [...]
Gasp!
I went to a job interview yesterday in Soho and walked past a wedding dress store and this was in the window. Being that I work in weddings occasionally, I have the privilege of seeing many dresses, many of which I question (not in a good way) throughout the evening. Isn’t this beautiful?! It’s not [...]
Writer’s Block!
Ack! I have two or three seperate articles started for here that I really feel strongly about and can’t seem to get them out on paper! Hence the lack of posts. Once you finish school, well really, stop taking classes that make you write papers, or don’t work at a job that requires it, it’s [...]
Intro to my Clothing Log
I’ve been taking pictures of the outfits, hair, and makeup that I put together for awhile now, and normally just share it with a few people, but decided it would be a cool element to incorporate into my blog. Some of these pieces have been modified by me, but mostly these are thrift/vintage finds, new [...]
Band-aid Top
Band-aid Top I bought this shirt a few months ago at the peak of the Herve Leger/Band-aid dress trend and hadn’t found the best way to wear it until this weekend, when I combined with one of my all time favorite shirt/skirts (you’ll see I like to pick skirts that can be worn as a [...]
1960/70′s Vest Top
1960/70′s Vest Top I bought this top at a thrift store in late high school to the scowls of whomever was with me (Lauren, I believe). It’s hard to see the flair at the bottom of this (very flower-child esq), but I absolutely love this, and haven’t worn it in years.
