This past weekend was bleak with horrible riots in Virginia, idiotic statements from our president, extra heavy fog, and a literal punch in the face for me (more on that soon). So here’s just a moment of color before I go back to contemplating the evils of the world. Finnish textile and clothing brand Marimekko has […]
The ’70s Wasn’t That Long Ago
Yesterday when I picked up my 5-year-old from camp, the teenage girl working the aftercare exclaimed: “I love your outfit! It’s so ’70s!” (I was wearing basically this.) I took it as a compliment, of course, since the ’70s look is what I’m drawn to and it’s my comfort zone. Then I got to thinking, […]

What to Wear on the Plane for a Tropical Vacation
Often when we jet off to a tropical locale, we’re leaving from a much chillier clime. The weather we’re met with is usually an improvement, but if we’re dressed for the cold, the transfer from plane to hotel can be most unpleasant. I’m heading to Jamaica for the first time—I am on the plane as […]

Handkerchief Hems, Stevie Nicks and You
When I spied this handkerchief hem dress in Alyssa-Nicole’s summer 2017 collection, it was like running into an old friend that I’d had a falling out with regarding something so dumb I couldn’t even remember what it was and being so happy to see her and become friends again. Stevie Nicks was an icon of my youth, […]
The Five-Minute, Five-Product Beauty Routine: Summer Edition
I’ve gone down makeup rabbit holes with liquid eyeliner and whatnot, and I’ve since vowed to keep it simple. I could watch a million makeup tutorials (and I probably have) but I’ll never be one of those women who knows how to really do up her face. And I’m OK with that. While the products may […]
Show Your Pride All Summer Long With Stylish Rainbows
The San Francisco Pride celebration is coming up this weekend, and I can’t stop obsessing over rainbows. Luckily, you don’t have to look kitchy and costumy (though that can be fun) to incorporate rainbows into your daily wardrobe rotation. Whether you’ll be IN the parade (like me, so excited), watching it, or just participating in your […]

Celebrating the Friendly Mustache for Father’s Day
I have never seen my father without a mustache, except in a few baby photos and in one where he’s part of a human pyramid during the Vietnam War when he (luckily) was stationed in Germany. But when I met him for the first time as he picked up my mom for a blind date (and […]
