Kept at Bay

hardy harbor

While in San Francisco, we stayed on a 35 foot boat, the Take Five, anchored in the bay. It was so fancy! And despite the fact that I experienced that "ghost boat" feeling for a week afterwards, there is absolutely nothing more enjoyable that sleeping on an anchored schooner.

(I know it's not a schooner. I'm an English major. I take poetic license.)

saint it the truth

I think this pendant unearthed from a Kentucky Goodwill is St. Francis. Anybody know for sure?



Quincy, me, and our fabulous travel companion Natalie. I love her pose... She should have her own blog!

...And the Horse You Rodin On

While knocking about California last week, my compatriots and I visited the Rodin Sculpture Garden at Stanford University.

Perhaps that spooky expression, above, is because I was standing at the Gates of Hell?

I took the above photo of Quincy. Because I'm thirteen.

...And Quincy took this one of me. We have a lot in common.

Oh, you think that this outfit looks suspiciously like the one I wore to my dad's retirement party, eh? Well, IT'S NOT. Shut up. Get your own blog!

The Maker Faire-est of them All

I'm at Maker Faire! Yay!

I met the coolest people today. While this clearly isn't a clothes-focused expo, the idea of independent innovation is something that speaks to my style.

I'm super excited to share a little something-something with y'all but that will have to wait until another day, when I've not partied so hard.

In the meantime, here are fashionable folks I found at the Faire today!


This lady made her skirt! Ow!


Ruffle-y ankle socks slay me.


A cat bag with a side of sass


This lovely lady is modeling pieces from Taming the Tattered.

Thanks, everyone, for letting me accost you!

Very Mulch So

For Mother's Day, the family and I helped Momma weed and mulch her garden. Then, I took pictures next to her garden. Win-win.

Hey. You should check out how awesome my mom is.

Sweet Pea Green

I've had this dress for a couple years but for whatever reason, it was knocking the socks off of my coworkers left and right. Maybe everybody was jonesin' for a little green in their Wednesday...

Roadside Attraction

Quincy and I made a new friend...



She's so buxom, it's ridiculous! Her milkshake brought us to this yard:



We passed this place while driving through Lawrenceburg, KY Friday, and had to stop.



I mean, come on. Bosom buddies.
