As much as I love all of my new skates, there is just something so retro/fun about the white skates that remind me of the ’80s and I could never part with them… and in fact will probably still wear them from time to time, especially with my new wheels and reds bearings, which make …
Fashion & Style Inspiration // Looks I’m Loving for Spring 2021
Sitting here on yet another snow day, all I can think about is WARM WEATHER AND SPRING and being able to leave the house in my Vans with, dare I say, MY ANKLES SHOWING and not get frostbite! My sneakers are a true sign of the weather for me since I pretty much live in …
Office Bathroom Makeover with Hand-painted Art Accent Wall

I’m so grateful I had Chad to help me with this entire makeover because it would have …
Home Decor // Hand-Painting Walls – Abstract Line Art Faces
We finished my office bathroom a few weeks ago but I have yet to put the finishing touches on it because I just wasn’t quite ready… my vision wasn’t complete, but I’m closer now 🙂 Since I’m renting and paying for all the upgrades, I didn’t go all out on the bathroom but instead used …
Artist Spotlight // Joe Mortell & His Dreamscapes …I Want to Live in
I spotted these incredibly awe-inspiring spaces on Instagram and immediately wanted to move in! Upon doing a little more research I found that rather than actual living quarters, these images are works of art by New York Times senior designer, 3D animation and illustration artist, Joe Mortell and I just had to share!

Style Archives // Ways I Wore It: Classic Camel Coat
Way back in 2013 it was really hard to find a classic camel coat, let alone a GOOD camel coat… and then I found this one by SMYTHE and fell in love. It’s well-fitting, timeless and gorgeous and though it cost me an arm and a leg, it was totally worth it. The classic style …
Shopping // Fanny Packs and Belt Bags I’m Loving
Fanny Packs have been trending for quite a while now and even though I already have a few sequined numbers and belt bags, I’m actually looking for something I can use while roller skating, obviously 😉 one that is practical and cute and not too bulky. I have a little black suede fringe belt bag …
Roller Skates Video Review – Moxi, Moonlight Rollers, BTFL & Chicago
Hi Lovecats! When I was looking for new skates to buy, I knew what I wanted but still had TONS of questions about how the boots fit and what would be best for my feet (and ankle) for the kind of skating I want to do (pretty basic/mellow and dance/rhythm skating) and what wheels would …
Beauty Inspiration // Pastel Nail Art Trends I’m Loving Right Now
A few weeks ago I did a fun pastel nail art manicure on my nails and just loved the little pops of pastel color I’d see while my hands were busy doing their thing… it just made me smile. It had been so long since I’d painted my nails that having ANY color on my …

DIY Home Decor // Faux Stone Hand Sculpture, Statue, Art, Jewelry Holder
Okay so… this is a really simple DIY, almost unworthy of a post BUT it turned out pretty cute so I thought I’d share anyway. I did far more work to create my DIY Faux Stone Accent tables than I did on this, but since I had a little spray paint left over, I thought …
Sitting here in Blue Jay Way
What I’m Wearing… * Blue denim coveralls from Lee Vintage Modern – STILL MY FAVORITES! I size up in these to a medium because I like them to fit a little baggy and also not ride up when I raise my arms (I’m 5’7″). These have shrunk a little in the dryer over the years …
Fashion // Retro Chic Zimmerman Fall 2021 Lookbook
I love when retro trends hit the current runways because it’s so easy and so fun to replicate the looks using vintage pieces actually from the decade that inspired them… and I mean that with all due respect because I ADORE this collection from Zimmermann for Fall 2021… It’s literally everything I love all wrapped …
