BOOT LUV
It’s New York Fashion Week, the reverberations of which throughout the city could be a post in and of themselves, but that’s not why I’m here—I’m here to talk about BOOTS. Because it’s September 12th, and although it’s still humid and sticky and oven-y there are some autumnal vibes lurking, and the only thing that […]
DAISY, DAISY
Betraying of my post-punk tomboyishness, my love of daisies has been lifelong. Bury me under a field of them. Tie them into my hair. Print them all over my clothes. Ain’t nothing wrong with being cute. As a big fan of juxtaposition, I would pair any of the babies below with serious boots or a […]
DREAMING OF STEVIE
In mid-2013, is there any girl who doesn’t want to embody Stevie Nicks?

Recently, she brought home Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez’s Perfumes: The Guide. […]
IF I EVER TRICK ANYONE INTO LOVING ME FOREVER
or have any other excuse to wear a fancy white dress as though it’s a perfectly normal, not-creepy-at-all thing to do (any quinceñearas or first communions coming up?), I will either wear…
BE A TOTALLY INSANE PERSON: WEAR HEAD-TO-TOE HOLOGRAM
Although most of us are content dressing in a somewhat subdued tone (I revert to an all-black ensemble at least once a week), it’s nice to know that if you ever wanted to go full-blown Amanda Bynes DGAF‘d out, there are manufacturers all over the world creating sartorial options for you. I have a fantasy […]
