I’ll Never Let ’em Change Me Till They Cover Me in Daisies
What I’m Wearing… * DIY Ribbed Tank with Shoulder Bows * Oversized khaki pants (ancient) – and maybe would be slightly cuter if the waistband was thicker/higher for this look, though I used to wear them lower on my hips… THIS was the LOOK I was kind of going for, not sure I pulled it …
Face Mask, But Make it Fashion! Bejeweled Masks by Christian Siriano
I’d be lying if I didn’t say that secretly I’ve been wanting to make fabulously bejeweled face masks in these last few months… and I’d be telling the truth if I told you that the only reason I haven’t is because my sewing machine is broken and I haven’t learned how to use my serger …
DIY // Upgrade a Ribbed Tank Top with Chic Bow Shoulders
Dare I say I’m a little bit afraid of quarantine ending and life going back to normal? (GASP!) What is normal anyway? Dare I also say that in the past few weeks I have maybe surrendered to the quarantine and accepted life as we know it and everything became a little easier? YIKES! Truthfully, I …
Beauty ~ Nail Art // Abstract French Tip Manicure with Dots
My nails have grown SO LONG during this quarantine and it’s kind of amazing! I mean, okay, they’re not THAT LONG comparatively speaking, but for MY little nails, this is something! Usually by the time they get this long they start breaking but I’ve been lucky so far, so I decided now was as good …

The Crystal Workshop Book & The Healing Powers of Crystals
Confession: I buy crystals because they’re pretty. But as I am drawn to trees to connect with nature, I am compelled by crystals to ground me to the earth. I’d like to say that I know what each and every crystal and stone that I have does and what their healing powers are, but truthfully …
DIY Braided Hair Wrap for Ponytail or Headband
I know I just did a DIY Braided Hair Headband, but this seemed like an obvious second choice that may work similarly… and since I’m in a DIY mood lately, I whipped it up in a few minutes because yes, it’s that easy… and you can too! Although I only show it worn wrapped around …
The City’s Cold and Empty
It should be noted that any time I see myself in a mask I feel like somehow it’s an end of days apocalypse outfit, and the cropped pants and docs somehow add to that look with a hint of punk, which makes me giggle a little bit but feels totally appropriate. Also this was last …
How to DIY Bleach Tie-Dye a Hoodie Sweatshirt
Tie-dying and bleach dying are all the rage right now, as my grandma might possibly say, and while normally, I’m really not a huge fan of the bright, multi-colored, rainbow types hippie-grateful dead tie dyes, I do have to say I’m loving the splotchy tie dyes I’m seeing everywhere right now. These tie dyed pieces …
DIY Braided Hair Headband – not a Hair Tutorial
Okay… I’m sure this removable braided headband has been done a million times, or maybe not. I didn’t really investigate because I didn’t care, I just wanted to make one for myself because I’m seeing them pop up everywhere right now and it’s a much simpler option than creating this look with your actual hair! …
Home Decor // Dark & Moody Powder Room Reveal
I feel like I’ve been stringing you guys along with this final bathroom reveal (I mean, for those of you who care lol), but I promise I’m not! I blame the quarantine that has me motivated and inspired and feeling great one day followed by two days of complete lack of motivation, anxiety and mini …
They Can Dance, We’ll Stay Home Instead
On April 7, 2018 we officially opened the doors to Dogwood Tavern, which made this past April 7th our 2 year anniversary. Last year, to commemorate and cel-e-brate good times we started a tradition by throwing our first annual 80s party, and this year we were planning an even better annual 80s bash… But instead, …
DIY Eclectic Feather Juju Hat with Vintage Mirror
This was a sort of last minute DIY because this quarantine finally gave us the time we needed to wallpaper the guest bathroom and give it a little makeover ANNNND I needed something on the wall that was textured and circular and a little funky with a pop of color… and then I thought that …
Counting Days… Counting Days
What I’m Wearing… * Red open shoulder sweatshirt with ruffles by Style Mafia – from a few years ago when everything was open-shoulder – also seen here in the snow with jeans and heels (a rare sight anymore) * Grey joggers – old from Victoria’s Secret (their lounge section used to be my fave (and …
