To Covet: Follow Your Bliss

…and the Bees
My sister has one tattooed along the top of her foot, my boyfriend’s wildly allergic, and one year, we had a swarm of them take over our back yard as the queen looked for new digs. I love bees. To me, they signify spring: the flowers are blooming, and the lady worker bees are hard [...]

Acquired Aesthetics: MerCurios
In the past few months, I’ve noticed fashion bloggers wearing a lot of bold jewelry; namely, two-, three-, and even four-finger rings. The Clothes Horse, the (chloe) conspiracy and Song of Style have all accessorized with them, each in their own unique style, and seemingly effortlessly. It’s the one thing that surprises me most about the [...]

To Covet: Cocktail Rings
I’ve been hunting for a piece of “statement jewelry” for years. I finally found my match on my last birthday: it’s a gold and copper sandstone ring, which I nabbed for just a few dollars at an out-of-the-way vintage shop. What you can’t see from the crappy photos – which my broken camera and I [...]

Scorned Gypsies
My sense of fashion has been wandering lately. Like a rogue traveler, it can’t seem to stay in one place: I’ve been pairing my feminine, frilly things with deconstructed jeans, my Grecian dresses with motorcycle boots. It’s an experimental phase that has brought some of my most neglected pieces to the forefront as I put them together in [...]

A Little Vintage Glamour
When I was little, I never got into my mom’s makeup, or even her daytime clothes. Instead, I went straight for the silk, the classic pumps, the vintage jewelry. At my grandmother’s house, I’d run my fingers over the heirloom lingerie, handed down from generation to generation, treasured by every woman that received it. While [...]

Calmly Melancholy
When I am faced with something upsetting, I don’t depress or crawl into a hole. I ramp up; I stress out; I panic. My brain is very, very good to me, however, because every time the winds change and I start to get anxious, I gravitate to calming influences. I’m drawn to colors that flatter my mood [...]

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich
You know what I’m really, really into right now? Things that don’t go together. Not in the “stripes and plaid” way – or the “eighties and anything else please stop with the eighties” way…more in the “casually glamorous” way. It’s about being feminine and pretty, but still tough enough to get grit under your nails: [...]
