Shop Like An Adult
It might be a sign that you’re becoming an adult when you go shopping and instead of buying THIS: or THESE: you simply buy 14 PAIRS OF SOCKS. Well… maybe not TOO much of an adult: “These? Well, one does want a hint of color.”Nathan Lane as Albert Goldman, The Birdcage

All Things Just Keep Getting Better
Source: Yahoo! TV I’ve previously expressed disgust towards televised “makeover” shows. Concisely put, I think they are a tool of the shame industry to force individuals to conform to a bland, populist template of style. Ouch! That said, I literally squealed with excitement when I discovered that Netflix Instant has added 88 episodes of Queer…

Things I’m Digging On Lately
I’m completely enamored of Sophie Blackall’s Arts for Transit project, Missed Connections on the New York subway. I saw it on the F train on Thursday, and couldn’t decide who was my favourite!

Dress Yourself

I had a craving today for color and excitement, and I definitely got what I needed. Starting with my nails! On the left hand: gray, butter yellow, neon purple,…

Connoisseur of Pants
Many people have a fashion accessory they can’t live without, or a collection of a singular defining garment, say, cardigans.

Remember the Times
Ever wake up at 11am on a Saturday, you don’t have to work, it’s nice and cold outside, and just… go through old facebook photos of yourself? Maybe you should try to be a little more narcissistic, because it is AWESOME. Case in point: I found these old photos of me from YEARS back and…

Ode to My Shoes
Dear Aubergine Converse: Thank you for carrying me all over town in comfort and style. I never thought shoes could be both comfortable and cute, both trendy and personal, until I began wearing you all over the place. When I lace you up to take on the world, I feel fully together, fully dressed, fully…
