The Colette Sewing Handbook Blog Tour!
Hello there. Today I am hosting a stop on The Colette Sewing Handbook Blog Tour for my dear friend, Sarai Mitnick, from Portland company, Colette Patterns.

If you are in Portland, make sure to go to the fun Colette Patterns launch party this Thursday, Nov. 17. I chose two of these patterns to style up for you into a couple of my... Read More

OK, so I actually ended up putting together two outfits for this Dream Outfit installment. I couldn’t pick just one of the cozy winter looks from what I consider to be one of the very best Etsy vintage shops, Dear Golden. I went outside the shop for the shoes in outfit #2 because I’ve been drooling over these fancy Balmain black silk button boots for a while and needed to exorcise them from my mind. Didn’t work! I love them even... Read More
