Hi there! I’m back from Detroit and taking the day to get settled (which nowadays means editing photos and responding to Instagram messages). I wanted to share the cozy outfits I put together when I visited my sister up in the Arctic this week, so here goes! I have a hard time dressing for cold […]
The weather has been playing with my mood. We’ve had rain, and lots of it. As a through-and-through Californian, the rain brings me so much joy after years of drought. It also brings with it a lush sort of earthiness that is only intensified by the contrasting days of intermittent, spring-like sunshine. I can’t decide […]
If you’ve left the house at all since January, you’ll know that Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. My view on Valentine’s isn’t that it’s a mandate in the vein of “thou shalt go on a date” or “thou must rebel against a Hallmark holiday by getting wasted with thy friends.” I find that a lot of […]
How I fell in love with a graphic oversized sweater, I’ll never be quite sure. I usually shy away from anything oversized, being only 5″1′. But whether it was the color, the richness of the knit, the surprise slits in the sleeves, or my brain riding the wave of the collective unconscious, the point of […]
Hello from the Mendes sisters! Today, my sister Julianne is making a guest appearance in the Stig New Years’ post, how about that? When she came to the Bay for Thanksgiving, we got our glam on, grabbed Papa Mendes and the camera, and set about shooting some glittery New Year’s inspo. What a hoot. I […]
Burberry, Diane von Furstenberg, Chanel, Maison Margiela, Versace, and John Paul Gaultier are some of the huge fashion houses to ban fur in 2018. London Fashion Week went completely fur free this year, and starting at 2019, all fur sales in the city of San Francisco will be banned. And back in 2014, the state of […]
How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? I hope you were able to spend time with someone important to you. Mine was filled with love and family time, and the older I get (31 now, yayayayay!) the more I appreciate that. Even though, being a liberal arts major (emphasis on liberal), my head buzzes all Thanksgiving day with […]
How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? I’m still happily digesting over here, working on sharing this fun outfit with y’all from last week. I was over in the City doing some errands and managed to snap a few pics of this sweet wool mini and teddy jacket. Such an easy look to put together, and has a […]
I love the opera. I mean, I’m no expert or anything, but for me there’s nothing that brings together so many different art forms in one single experience. You may have seen my mini gushing episode on Instagram a few weeks back – lots of all caps and exclamation points. Eventually I’ll do a post […]
Also titled, 3 Foundations to a Snazzy Holiday Wardrobe, the illustrated guide. Because, duh. Hello! Ready for an excuse to dress up? Lord knows I am, and we are getting into that time of year where you can be as festive as you’d like and no one can (or should) accuse you of being overzealous. There’s […]
