Stand out observations of Parisian style: everyone really dresses the same, and French women don’t wear pants. Why should they, with thighs like sticks?

I’m pretty sure the “What are you wearing today” threads on usenet inspired a lot of the outfit post madness on flickr these days, as well. But, I digress before [...]

I’ve been into my cozy giant cardigan urchin-dumpling look during the last TWO WEEKS of rain, now I need to fancy it up a little. From this: To this: I need to tack these on the wall in the morning when I wake up, because I’m too sleepy to get dressed properly. And it needs to stop [...]

Eye candy post while I edit and sort photos from the trips I took the last 2 weekends! Prettiness and adventures coming up! I keep coming across (on the interwebs, I wish in real life) Victorian jewelery with snake motifs. Motifs from the natural world shows up often in Victorian jewelery – bouquets of flowers, branches, [...]
