Pushing on the Door

January 10, 2018 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Family, Fashion, Outfits, Travel Leave a Comment

I’m turning 50 this year! I keep thinking about the beginning of last year—I felt energetic and aggressively excited about making big changes. How, I thought, could the year be anything but awesome when I kicked it off with a jumpsuit like that? It wasn’t a bad year. Personally, the year was fine. We did […]

I Used to Hate Pink

January 6, 2018 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Beauty, Fashion, Featured Posts, Outfits Leave a Comment

Maybe it’s the millennial pink phenomenon influencing me, or maybe it’s having a little girl, but I’m starting to really like pink. And with this photoshoot, I have pretty much surrendered to the idea of pink being an acceptable color in my world.  This is probably my favorite photoshoot of 2017, and it feels like […]

Can You Believe the Holiday Season Is Happening?

October 31, 2017 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Family, Fashion, Featured Posts, Outfits Leave a Comment

It’s that time of year when you don a really itchy wool dress and hang out at a pumpkin patch with your child who doesn’t want to share the giant bunny! Sorry I guess I’m being negative but I have already been to three costume-required events and today there’s one more since it’s mercifully, finally, […]

Finding a Fit

October 18, 2017 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Beauty, Fashion, Home Leave a Comment

Not many things (none of the things?) in my life have been perfect. Some examples: I thought I would marry the guy I was dating in my early 30s, but he took of with the local barista (not kidding). I planned to adopt one baby and have one biological baby. Biology did not cooperate. I […]

Beam Me Up

September 18, 2017 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Family, Fashion, Outfits Leave a Comment

The first time I laid eyes on a Centinelle scarf was at Convert in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley. I was like, TELL ME MORE about this designer, because kitties being beamed into spaceships are things that I need in my life and around my neck. Also glutton seagulls, animal paddle boats and punky donkey unicorns—knowing […]

The Perfect 70’s-Inspired Bag Styled Three Ways

September 5, 2017 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Fashion, Outfits 2 Comments

I first spied the amazing Cass Clutch on Instagram and became immediately obsessed—no surprise since it so strongly evokes that chic 70s style that gets me every time, with its simple shape, buttery soft suede and rich, earthy colors. A few clicks later, I discovered that designer Debra Szidon was indeed inspired by a well-love […]

Femme OD! A Kitten and Lots of Pink Lace

August 21, 2017 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Fashion, Home, Outfits Leave a Comment

I didn’t realize how intensely feminine these photos would turn out until Elena sent them over and I saw how at home these shots would be on the cover of a ’70s folk album cover. A rattan swing, a kitten, pink lace—what did I expect? But despite how uncomfortable I usually am with this much […]

Let’s Brighten Things Up a Bit

August 15, 2017 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Art & Design, Fashion, Outfits Leave a Comment

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 […]

What to Pack in Your Outside Lands Beauty Survival Kit

August 9, 2017 by kourosh Filed Under: Fashion, Home Leave a Comment

This year marks 10 years of Outside Lands, San Francisco’s three-day music festival, and it has only gotten better with age. This year, headlining acts include Metallica, The Who, Gorillaz, A Tribe Called Quest, Solange, Fleet Foxes, Lorde, Alt-J and lots more. With music from noon until night, a land dedicated to chocolate, and even shopping […]

The Kitten and I Use the Same Colorist

August 7, 2017 by kourosh Filed Under: Family, Fashion, Outfits Leave a Comment

Hey guys! Isn’t it awesome that Wrangler is doing this throwback 70th anniversary collection? It’s one of those Americana companies that I feel a deep nostalgia for. I and all of my friends wore Wrangler jeans when we were kids, and I love these styles that harken back to the 70s.  Also, in case you […]

Hey, Sister!

I'm a feminist, former science writer, reformed shopaholic, caftan-lover and 40-something mom to a toddler and a teenager. You'll usually find me wearing '70s clothes at my '70s house near the beach in Northern California. Stylenik is where I share lessons learned regarding all of the above. My friends call me KP. Thanks so much for visiting!
