If you’ve been on Instagram, Pinterest, or TikTok lately, you’ve seen it: yes folks, that Oughts favorite, the peasant top, is ba-aaaaaackk! Let’s be clear – the 2020 iteration leans heavily on shape and proportion in ways that the 2000s-by-way-of-1960s tops never dared. These bbs are more fitted, cropped, and have punchy sleeves or sliding-off-the-shoulder […]
It turns out that Fashion Blogger Glam isn’t an inherent quality – it’s learned. At least, that’s what I hope each time I get ready for a big Glam Production. Because for me, it takes EFFORT. And lots of time. And lots (and LOTS) of trial and error. So a few weeks ago when I […]
Alright, folks – this weekend was a doozy for me. Chronic pain flares, no chocolate in the house, loads of work to do and no energy to be had, and I was sure it must be a full moon because the world just seemed out of whack. No full moon: just life serving up a […]
I’ve heard that blondes shouldn’t wear yellow – how ridiculous is that? Is it because the yellow-on-yellow is too much yellow? Too much sunshine? Too ditzy? Just too much? Whatever. This yellow mini dress made me feel like a freaking ray of sunshine on Saturday night (so there, imaginary peanut gallery!). My plan was to […]
In my family, a vampy red dress is synonymous with “grandma style.” You see, my dad’s mother was a Very Vampy Lady (shall we make this a thing and say VVL?) and when I tried this dress on, I couldn’t help but think of her. Big hair, stilettos always, at least until she couldn’t anymore, […]
Still dressing up, still staying at home – these Saturday virtual opera viewing sessions have really kept me afloat the past few weeks. As silly as it sounds, having that anchor in my schedule, something fun to look forward to, is the best replica of normalcy I could hope for. This weekend I opted for […]
Being a San Francisco native, I’ve loved following the growth of the tie-dye trend over the past two or so years. It’s irreverent, fun, and brings with it the wide-eyed optimism, progressive hope, and patriarchy-smashing furor of the 60s. I think that’s why it’s blossomed in 2020 – it’s just that which we most need, […]
I’ve been dying to get my hands on a satin midi skirt – but, me being me (read: persnickety), it had to be just so. You see, a midi length is tough on us shorties – it inevitably shortens the leg and there is little to do about it, except wear your stilettos. Or, more […]
Note: If you haven’t read last week’s post on concrete ways to join the Anti-Racism Movement, hit the brakes, go back to the home page, and get your sweet self onto that post. Or just click here. It’s way, way more important than a tropical jumpsuit. So there are a few things happening here: 1. […]
The highlight of my week recently has been the SF Opera‘s weekend streaming of past productions – my M.O. has been to dress up as if I were going to the opera house, then to kick off my heels, pop some popcorn, and get those tenors on BLAST. This week, I opted for a pair […]
