Dream Outfit: Speckled Moth

I can’t believe it has been so long since I put together one of my Dream Outfits! I don’t know why–since I love making them so much. I’m still pretty obsessed with pieces in My Empire State outfit back in early December and my ode to Madonna from last September! Maybe I’ll treat myself sometime and finally order the Sel Marin perfume. I ordered a sample from Aedes a while back (see my BIG perfume posts: Part 1 and Part... Read More

DREAM OUTFIT: my empire state

Lately I’ve really been pining for a trip to New York. I’ve been daydreaming about going on my favorite long walks up to Hayden Planetarium, the Museum of Natural History and of course a few moments in front of The Dakota. I love visiting my good friends, but I also love the sort of anonymity you can have amidst all the hustle and bustle.

I love them even... Read More

Dream Outfit: Topshop Halloween

Warning: This post is très ridiculous. I started looking at the pieces that I’d been saving from Topshop and it occurred to me that together they made a rather festive flapper outfit for a Halloween cocktail party. Then as I started placing them next to each other I realized that I would ultimately end up looking like a very glamorous ostrich in this getup. In general, I have a strict blood, gore, fright code to uphold when it comes to Halloween... Read More

Dream Outfit: Allen Company Inc

I would love to have all of these things from the Allen Company Inc Etsy shop. In this dream, everything is magically my size. I have my unruly hair somewhat controlled in the usual lazy topknot and I won’t have accidentally cut my bangs too short. I’m wearing one of my favorite matte red lipsticks, Ruby Woo by M.A.C. I’ll smell of Navegar by L’Artisan and of couse, I’ll have warm, black coffee breath. As I walk through... Read More
