Lemme paint you a picture: it’s a a spring evening, warm – say, a balmy 70 – and you’re drinking a glass of red as the sun sets over the olive orchards. You’ve had fresh pasta with young asparagus for dinner, the air smells like lemons, rosemary, and clean soil. You feel robustly squishy and […]
There are some loves that defy logic – any my love for this orange tent dress is one of them. I have the urge to wear it everywhere, and it has indeed upped my outfit repeater tendencies! I wore it to eat burgers on the street for a date with Rodrigo last weekend, and to […]
I’ve fallen in LOVE with tangerine and am here to evangelize its appeal for those hazy days between summer and fall. If you’re not convinced, read on! The end of summer is always a doozy here in the Bay Area. For whatever reason, our hottest days often come in September, and many of us near […]
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 […]
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 […]
There was a shipping snafu with my outfit for the opera this weekend, which forced me to improvise. To be honest, improvised outfits are often my favorites because I feel like I had to work a little harder, be more creative, to get to a satisfactory result. In this case, I threw together this all […]
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 […]
Welcome back and thanks for visiting the blog in the midst the pandemic turbulence! Today’s post is a practical, fun take on how to style a skirt set you either already have, or have been tempted to invest in. You know the one – a high-waisted, wiggly midi skirt with a cleanly tailored crop top, […]
Ahh, the joys of loungewear! For years I’ve been wearing old sweats around the house, each pair with a story. Pair 1 I bought at United Colors of Benetton in Rome when I was in 8th grade (I’m turning 32 tomorrow – the 16th – so you do the math). Pair 2 was Rodrigo’s, the […]
