Nearly three years ago, I dressed my sisters in outfits from their closets to give them more styling ideas for the pieces they already had. This week, they raided my closet and did the same for me. Each twin picked two outfits for me, and I was so pleased with the results! Below, read their…
There are very few things I can do for twelve hours straight. At this age, I doubt that I could even sleep for twelve hours straight if I’d tried, but somehow, for the past month, I’ve found it impossible to stop embroidering. It’s a meditative activity—there’s repetition, and precision, and artistry involved, and I’ve always…
It’s been 57 days of Coronavirus Lockdown™, and I think my days are starting to fall into a new routine. Everyone’s been writing about how easily we as people can adjust to a new normal, but to be honest, lockdown me is not so different from the pre-lockdown me. I am, and have generally always…
Over the past few months, I’ve noticed a trend for colorful, almost craft-like jewelry. Although it initially reminded me of the jewelry I made at 10 years old, I was drawn to the contrast it brings to more grown-up outfits. And now, as the shelter-in-place order drags on, bright colors and funky styles are a…
A few months ago, I made a post about white tops, the staple of the summer, and how I style them. Now that the winter’s in full swing, I figured it was time for a post on black boots, the hero of my cold weather outfits. To be honest, I only wear black boots in…
Now that we’re deep into the holiday season, I’m back with another collection of outfits and recipes. The idea of holiday party season fuels me throughout the entire month of December, with dreams of delicious meals and sparkly dresses. The catch is, I don’t really attend many holiday parties in real life (I spend most…
Now, the connection between outfits and recipes may seem tenuous at best, but when you really think about it, they’re both things that we think about every single day. Putting together something that works, both in the kitchen and in one’s closet, requires an understanding of the need for variety. In clothes, that often means…
The advent of cold weather is marked by two things— the chafing from boots that starts my heel blisters (a winter mainstay) and apple picking season (as soon as it gets even a little chilly, everyone runs off to the orchards in assorted flannel). Now that both of those things has happened, it’s safe to…
Back in early December, I suddenly got the idea to dress my twin sisters for the site and proposed it to them, which they enthusiastically accepted. After some failed trials of both styling and shooting, we’ve ended up with three outfits per sister to show here. I chatted with Audrey and Bernice to hear their…
As 2017 closes out, I’ve been grasping at memories from this whirlwind of a year. So much has happened in so many places with so many people that it’s been challenging to properly recall, but what’s for sure is that this year has been full of new discoveries. Below are some of my favorites, from…
