Photos from Apieceoftoastblog.com and forwardforward.com I am sure that you have seen the recent punny t-shirts that play off of major fashion labels, but I have to ask, what do you think? Love it? Hate it? Personally, I think it is witty and a perfect DIY project. Honestly, it is a simple as investing in …
Wanna hear a funny story? When I was about 14, my sister, Katelyn, and I boarded a plan to JFK to visit my oldest sister who had just moved to Manhattan. It was summertime, we had two weeks of summer break to spend with Brooke in her new city, and a long list of pivotal …
Happy New Year, folks! (Is it too late to say that?) We are only a bit over a week into 2014, and already this year is proving to be a promising one. Between ringing in the New Year with my favorite people at a 1960’s themed party, reopening my Etsy store (Grace on Mulberry), and … Continue reading
I had a premonition I was going to find some designer goodies when I arrived at my favorite thrift store earlier this week, but I had no idea it would be a Joie blouse. Major score. (Partially) seen here is my new favorite item and a thrifted J. Crew tweed cardigan. Continue reading
Living in Los Angeles requires a few things: a car for getting around, patience when sitting in traffic, and a darling weekender to tote around outfit changes on a moment’s notice. The latter is because this city is so large and merely dropping by a friend’s ‘hood for dinner or drinks in the evening requires an … Continue reading
Did I ever mention that I love dinos? No, not Dinosaurs like the ones in Jurassic Park; but dinos, like the ones in cartoons and on old school pajamas. There’s a difference; the latter is friendly and darling. Last Halloween I DIY-ed what has now become my very favorite costume: a green dinosaur with bright … Continue reading

I had been anxiously awaiting the grand opening since the moment the building hung a sign that exclaimed Michael’s was “coming soon!” – I even tweeted to the store to find out the exact date of the opening. I’m crazy for … Continue reading
Ahhh, Friday. The most lovely day of the week! I have few plans this weekend beyond a BBQ and some DIY crafts, but the rest and relaxation is warmly welcomed. And this Friday, I am fancying these things that would make for a fun night out. Culver’s Ned Smith Waterfowl Glasses: These glasses would perfectly compliment … Continue reading
Its Friday y’all! I am heading to Palm Springs with my mom this afternoon for a quick weekend in the sun (don’t worry, the sunscreen is packed!). And what better way to wrap up a busy week than to capture the things I am currently fancing in a Friday blog post. Here are some things … Continue reading
This past weekend was everything I want a weekend to be. In the midst of a serious heat wave in LA, I spent my time swimming, reading, cooking, and DIY-ing with my most favorite crafty friend, Jessie. As I mentioned last week, I was taking on a lofty DIY kimono project that was more “fashion … Continue reading
I hope that you have a trip planned to Palm Springs in the near future, because I just got back from a weekend in the desert and I can say with gusto that it was the most relaxing and enjoyable weekend I have had in a long time. For two days my mom, uncle and … Continue reading
In my last few posts I have been preaching about non-boring-basics and I just want to say right here, right now: I’m sticking with that. At least for a while, or until an outlandish print catches my eye and has to be brought home with me for crafting or wardrobe purposes. So far, so good, … Continue reading
