Camel & Gray

There's nothing better than spending the day with family and friends. Hannah and I decided to do a little Thanksgiving Day photoshoot, the turkey was in the oven and there was nothing else to do but wait! Ryan was kind enough to take all the photos, and we had fun prancing about the yard, still wet from the previous days' rain. The cats were running around being quite comical too, climbing into trees and rolling in the west grass.

Ruby Slippers

I received these beautiful vintage snakeskin (I believe? But I'm no real expert...) slingbacks for my birthday a month ago. I had my eye on them at an antique store up in Hooksett, NH, and Mama Rose had gotten them for me! I'm still amazed at the nearly perfect condition they are still in. The leather is soft and shiny despite being probably around 60ish years old. I've been daydreaming about wearing them with yellow tights, so when I put on yellow tights with my navy blue dress today, I decided to take a few quick photos with them on.

Now it's off to the library...two days until I fly home to NH for Thanksgiving with my family!

I've got the Chills!

It finally feels like winter here in Nashville! It's blustery and chilly out, time for scarves and yummy mittens!


Unfortunately, with the cold comes the...colds. I am sniffly and sneezy (boo hoo hoo). However, I am all warm inside from the lovely post that Lauren of Blooming Leopold did of me. Click over to read an interview and enter for a chance to win one of my cupcake skirts! :)

Goodnight, Sweetheart

It has come to my attention that I have accumulated several beautiful vintage bed jackets over the years, and they always seem to get pushed off to the side and forgotten about. Upon realizing this tragedy, this morning instead of donning my usual skirts/tights/bow combo, I went for a different kind of whimsical vibe (whimsical because well, how can one not be when wearing unicorn heels, hm?)

Pairing my pale blue, peter pan-collared jacket with rolled jeans and rather large bird earrings that have been collecting dust for several years now, I felt a bit refreshed walking out of the house. There's nothing like a good wardrobe change up to pull you out of any kind of slump, I think!

Inspiration for a Thursday

Layering. Fall is upon us here in Nashville, and I've been experimenting with new ways (well, new for me) to layer. Slips and cardigans, tights and knee highs. I love love love how Marisa of Thumbelina pulls it off so effortlessly.




Beautiful and sort of ethereal makeup. I love the replacement of the eyebrows with lace. (source




This lovely collar made from strips of lace and ribbon by Carrie from Wish Wish Wish. What a great, inexpensive way to create a fun sort of "tie" if you will




New and interesting ways to style hair. While wearing bow headbands and clips everyday is perfectly lovely, sometimes you just need something fresh to try. I can't wait to try this one from The Snail and the Cyclops

Bold tights! I've been adding to my already large collection (2 drawers full..ahem) of assorted jewel-toned, rainbow bright, patterned/netted/etc tights. well any kind of tights you can think of, but I've been especially drawn to the bold colors lately...the plums, reds, hunter greens, oh my!


Now I am going to cuddle into bed, for it's been a long Thursday for me....night night lovelies

Hearts, Rainbows, and Unicorns

This past Wednesday I flew out to San Francisco for my fall break to meet up with my family. On Saturday we ventured into one of our favorite departments stores, Nordstrom, to try on shoes and fun makeup. Now I will say that I had just about given up on finding these beautifully ethereal Jeffrey Campbell heels, but lo and behold while browsing they were right in front of me! The 7 and a half fit just like a dream and once they were on they were not coming off of my feet. I nearly melted with happiness when I paid for them and wore them out of the store!

I will say, however, that the nude color pictured online is much different from the actual shoe in real life. As you can see from the pictures the leather is sort of two-toned, but they are so perfect!

More on the rest of my trip later...I'm jet-lagged from flying for nearly 6 hours today.

Channelling: Betsy, Tacy, and Tib

So growing up reading Maud Hart Lovelace's book series Betsy-Tacy, I found myself always daydreaming about being part of their little group and getting into trouble with their silly antics. When I put on this vintage lace shift dress the other day, I couldn't help but think of their turn of the century dresses...

Now, now.

Peach Lacey Slip- Thrifted
Heels- GoJane.com


So I found this slip today amongst the men's button-down shirts today at Goodwill (of all places...) and fully intended to sell it on my etsy, but then I tried it on...and it was love!

I also fully intended to stay in tonight and work on my textiles hw...but then I went out with some lovely friends...(love?)


Happy Sunday!


PS: Pleaseee dearly excuse the horrendous photo quality. I fear my little canon powershot is sincerely about to kick the bucket...the camera that has nine lives may be on its last. boo hoo!
