It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Frederick Douglass
Rabbit Rabbit

Rabbit Rabbit

As a kid, I learned that saying “Rabbit Rabbit” on the first of the month (I think it’s actually supposed to be the first thing you say on the first of the month) is good luck. This was before Wikipedia so I wasn’t quite sure if it was a random...

Delicious Dreams

Delicious Dreams

I love things that look things they aren’t… case in point, these delicious (pun intended!) home furnishings from B Fiber and Craft. The waffle sheets are like a kid’s dream (ok fine, me as a kid’s dream) come true and I sort of need the baked potato chair in my...
Jewelry that POPS!

Jewelry that POPS!

I have to say, I’m not the biggest fan of this time of year. It’s not quite snow-on-the-ground winter, not quite warm enough to dress otherwise, and entire days can pass where I don’t see sunlight. With fun trips, boxing lessons (like actual boxing lessons) and a good winter soundtrack...

Brandages: Really?!

So… I’m not gonna lie and say that I am totally above brand obsession. I’m still not a big logo person (I don’t get the whole, “I’m going to pay $500 for this and provide free advertising for the company” thing), but there are certain labels I definitley run to every time (Chanel, Naketano, Camilla...

(Pick a) Stop and Shop!

I know the whole food-truck/ clothing-truck/ truck-shop thing has been around for a while… but I have to say, I am still loving the idea and still get kind of excited every time I see one. . .
Color, Cut, Shop, Etc.

Color, Cut, Shop, Etc.

When I was really young my mom used to give me these big cardboard-y books that contained pop-out paper dolls and clothing. I’d spend hours mixing and matching outfits.  Maybe that’s where I developed my passion for fashion? Anyway, Trendland modernizes and materializes the paper doll concept with their cute affiliate shop promotion designed by...

So, I don’t know about you, but I am obsessed with my iPhone. It’s actually a bit scary the way Siri runs my life. Anyway, I was talking with a friend the other day about it and discovered some really great apps I never knew existed. What’s your favorite app? Are there any you can’t...

Reyes & Barüch

My current situation (aside from random interactions with people from this site) isn’t super conducive to meeting artistically creative people… So, every time I have a chance encounter with someone who has that spark, it’s like this much appreciated breath of fresh air. I try to stimulate that under-utilized aspect of my personality with things...

Gettin’ Twiggy With It (Buy + DIY)

I am a big fan of unique silver bracelets… One of my favorites is a hand-made intertwining-vine bracelet I found at a vintage jewelry store. It’s breathtaking! It would look perfect with the crop of twig-inspired bangles that have been popping up at little shops on Etsy and in little boutiques on Charles Street and...
