When it’s cold out, we play in art museums. We take multiple trips to the “Free Gelato” line for salted pecan vanilla goodness in tiny plastic cups. All the while revisiting the “Free Cookie” and “Free Crackers & Brie”...

I met my lovely mother yesterday for an exchange of goods. All legal. She passed along these wool pants that were way to large for her, and she figured I could use them. So, they are now my winter shorts. Wearing shorts in the winter seems so wrong, doesn’t it?...

What if we lived in a time when a lady’s hat was an everyday accessory. When going without is comparable to leaving the house without earrings. Which I must admit I do quite often. Just yesterday my sister and I helped my grandma purge a closet in her home....

Autumn is growing on me; it brings out the tree in me. As a kid, I always drew evergreens: brown on the bottom with a bushy green top. The trunk is this westernized wrap skirt I purchased over the summer from a thrift in Florida. I dished out no more than $10 for this...

Find more after photos of this tutorial here. You will need: 1. Straw hat (Thrift stores are great sources) 2. Wool fabric (I used an old skirt. Basically, enough to cover the head and 2x the brim. If you have a very wide brimmed hat, then you will need more fabric.)...

Not an exaggeration: we literally entered the subway, caught the “ghost train”, came up for air and boom snow snow snow. Huge gusts of it. I was dazed and confused, no where to turn, no one to ease my pain. Hahaha…I’m silly. Armageddon in a...

I really enjoy taking photos. Especially in New York. The brownstones in Brooklyn and random objects on the streets make for nice composition. I switched my boots for my sister’s low-riding ones. I will likely not master the ‘walk the streets in...

Fighting the mean cold streets of NYC these last few days. For a warm weather girl like me, “mean cold” is an understatement. My teeth undoubtedly chattered too much for me to get out what I really wanted to say. Let’s just put it this way, I like a...
