Speakeasy Style in Vancouver with Friends
Nearly two weeks have passed since I boarded a train heading from Seattle to Vancouver. It was early in the morning–far earlier than I’m used to–but I had enough butterflies in my stomach and excited buzzing in my brain that I couldn’t sleep once the train got rolling.

Channeling a Fairy Queen Vibe in an Anthro Dress
This week’s post is brought to you by the lovechild of the 1960s and the Middle Ages. It has sort of this magical forest fairy feel to it with its drapey sleeves and embroidered flowers.

This loungewear got its start as bedroom attire. Before long, it was being …
Casual Styles inspired by Coco Chanel
Trying on the iconic styles of the 1920s has been a lot of fun. It is an era that apparently speaks to me because I’m still working on it. Up until now, I’ve been moved by the finer looks of the era — the fabrics, the beading, the fringe. It seems blasphemous to consider wearing …
Thinking Deeply About Fashion
Fashion makes you think deeply sometimes. Yeah, I know, it’s full of surface-level judgments and there are some who would suggest fashion is all vanity, but when you take on a project of revamping your ideas about what style and fashion are, it can get you to thinking. There was a time in my 20s …
Jazz Age Chic with an Unbuttoned Shirtdress
I’m off to travel a small section of the globe, but will be back soon with lots of ideas for how to dress “Jazz Age Chic” in the modern world. For now, I give you this as an idea for what’s to come. I have an outfit (almost) identical to this one and will share it …
