Invest In: The Perfect Flats.

So I was watching TV before bed, the other night – a rare event in my little nest – and I caught something on the news about heels and how bad they are for your feet for every-day wear. I’m not a proponent of heels every day, for practical reasons. I prefer to Related posts:

Haute Olympians

So I don’t really watch the Olympics, save for when I’m at the gym, watching the highlights and trying to get inspired to stay on the elliptical machine (as opposed to laying down somewhere and taking a nap). That said, I’m pretty impressed with all the “good lookin’s” who’ve flocked to Vancouver to test their Olympian Related posts:

Wardrobe Challenge

Captain’s Log, Stardate: [-28] 02645.00 – In a disconcerting turn of events, all access to the laundry room in my apartment building has been cut off. It all started with the Laundry Thief.  I’ve had a run-in with this character once, last fall when approximately 2 outfits disappeared completely from my laundry one afternoon.  I’m not Related posts:

Invest In: A Better Bag

(Featuring: A product review, and a coupon for you!) I’m one of those people who carries their life around in an enormous shoulder bag. No, no, no not like luggage, or hobo-ism (haha), more like my handbag – which is filled with pens, notebooks, my day planner, various personal items (tweezers? gloss, eye drops), candy, Related posts:

NYFW Envy!

I wishwishwish I could be there right now, but because of some pre-determined travel dates (or the monetary backing necessary for a flight to NY), and one stuffy economics class, I’m stuck on the opposite coast watching shows at my desk. I wanted to bring you my favorite looks from the shows I’ve seen so far Related posts:

Color Alchemy

I’ve recently been experimenting with colors and metallics.  I don’t normally wear coral, gold, pink, or any muted, metallic dusty warm color – these colors all seem to clash with my skin tone, and hair color.  Just recently though, I stepped outside the box and went through a bit of color alchemy.  Instantly, everything became Related posts:

Outfit: Deco Modiste

So when Kimberlee of Deco Modiste came out with her school thesis line, I had the privilege of being present for (actually, I was in) her thesis fashion show.  Her thesis was full of elegant lines, tailored silhouettes and vintage couture. These pants  will always remind me of walking the runway to an old track that Related posts:

In Fashion: Cultural Appropriation vs Inspiration

(This post & the one on Wicked Whimsy are a dual effort and meant to be read together, so go there and read hers too!) So, a few days ago, we were talking about the directions our styles are moving in (which seems to be a similar place!).  To describe her style direction, Michelle used the Related posts:

Outfit: Presented by M641

Hi guys!  How’ve you been?  After a week of thoughtful posts I decided to lighten up a little with my little jumper from M641. I love the black and tan pairing – I think that’s what the girl has on in the product photos and it just stuck.  Black and tan are such an underrated combo…  Related posts:

Links à la Mode : The Heavyweights

The Heavyweights Edited by Dramatis Personae Fashion’s getting heavier– and I’m not just talking about the rise of supermodels like Crystal Renn. This week we’ve got meaty posts covering ethical topics like the sustainability of bamboo at Awakened Aesthetic while Bonne-Vie covers the the implications of buying items made in China.

Outfit: Burlesque Birthday Bash

Last week (OKAY! My outfit photo was from last week, I WILL ADMIT!) I had a Birthday Bash with Sinner Saint Burlesque.  “It’s not your birthday!” you say… but it is difficult to collect all my friends into one place at the same time – moreso on New Year’s Eve (my real birthday).

Combat Black

Woah, babycakes!  What’s with all the BLACK recently? Don’t get me wrong, my wardrobe is filled with it.  I love it as an anchor, but the last time I hit the stores, it seemed like I was seeing a lot of simple, monochrome/black and grey 80’s anti-fashion. With it were a few pops of brighter colors Related posts:

Invest In: Quality Denim

“I recently discovered that my denim drawer is looking a little light.  I’ve  only invested in two or three new pair of jeans in the past couple years, and I feel like it’s time to upgrade.  The old pairs are falling apart and I want to invest in something that will last, and will look Related posts:

Outfit: January Blues

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut in the rainy northwest winters.  It’s too easy to throw on jeans and an oversize sweater to head to work, and it’s work – what kind of fun is that?! My bustin’-out-of-the-blues fix involves a light swingy skirt, and a gorgeous blue tissue tee from Banana Republic. You can Related posts:

Weekend Fun: Jersey Shore Party

This weekend Mister and I hung out with Super-Guidette, NayWoWW for her Jersey Shore Birthday Bash at the See Sound Lounge.  Ever the City’s Social Detective, she had the down-low on where the good music was, and hoardes of Seattle Socialites came out to celebrate.  I figured the costume theme would be hilarious and warranted Related posts:

Winter Inspirations

Today is all about visual inspiration… I was flipping through Tumblr feeds this morning and found a host of gorgeous photos.  Sometimes we don’t need all the words and the thought – it shines through in well-presented images.  Lately my inner brain is covered in images, no words.  It looks something like this: Natalie Portman for Related posts:

Modern Vintage

It’s Friday and I’m wearing *THE-MOST-COMFORTABLE* outfit I could possibly think of. I got home late last night from the Twitterati Reunion party and when I dragged myself out of bed at 8 this morning, I decided comfort was key. I love when winter hits, so I can break out this skirt – which is Related posts:
