I styled a track shoot last week. Well actually, it was a track commercial. I’ll link to the photographer’s website when it’s all edited, but so far it looks rad. Here was the inspiration board for the photo shoot. We couldn’t find the right shorts, so I enlisted the help of my superbly talented seamstress friend Susan from Freshly Picked. She whipped out some shorts like magic. We couldn’t find the right t-shirt either, so Alma Loveland from Ollibird…

Somewhere over the course of the last year I received this little fresh perfume bottle in a swag bag and I’m sad to say it’s on its last legs. Almost empty. Only little tiny droplets left. I’m pretty particular with my perfume choices. Between allergies and migraines, the perfume I wear has to be a really specific blend of specialness to make the cut and I’m happy to say this fresh Citron De Vigne is marvelous. It’s exactly what it…

Bad Fashion Week Series Part 3: Patterned sweaters. I’m not just talking about all the ironic ugly sweater parties that have popped up all over the map. I’m talking about your honest-to-goodness ugly patterned sweater wearing offenders {maybe your mom?}. I think they’re all but gone from everywhere but an occasional bad SNL skit, and then boom! Someone is in line at the grocery store with reindeer all over her chest. Bonus points if you got the Bridget Jones’ Diary…

I’ve mentioned before that Precocious doesn’t let me within an inch of her closet. Well. Sometimes she does, but more often than not she doesn’t really think I have any fashion sense. *AHEM* She doesn’t care that I style people for a living.

Bad Fashion Week Series Part 2: Socks + Sandals Hold me. Several members of my extended family do this {cough, cough DAD} and there’s just no help for them. I’m told this is all over Europe so I just need to put on my big girl panties and not cringe every time I get on a train in Warsaw this summer. It’s a good thing I don’t speak Polish. Birkenstock, socks + sandals, Birkenstocks and sandals, socks and sandals
