Look for Less: Michelle Williams at the Oscars

The mustard yellow dress Michelle Williams wore to the Oscars in 2006 is still one of my favorite dresses.

When Jen from Green Wedding Shoes posted these new bridesmaid dresses by Joanna August I thought they were beautiful but it wasn't until I scrolled down to the last dress that I was really blown away. Even though it doesn't have all the same details as the Vera Wang that Michelle wore, it's definitely reminiscent.

Daily Ensemble: red shirtdress

Another gorgeous day! I was thinking about the winter and realized that I wore a lot of black. So this spring and summer are going to be all about colors and white. The dress I'm wearing today is a gorgeous red, but unfortunately it's difficult to capture in photographs. It turns out kind of orange.

I have a busy weekend ahead of me with a birthday (happy birthday L!) and a bunch of shows. R and I are also planning a double date to Miya's which is a famous sushi place here in New Haven. I'll try and take some pictures, because honestly, you've never had sushi quite like this.

Daily Ensemble: sunshine

When it's actually summer I'll probably stop talking about the weather, but right now I can't get over all this sun and warmth. It makes school an entirely different place. People walk around smiling and happy, they stop to talk to each other on the street, they sit outside to do work.

The weather is definitely not helping my work ethic. It's hard to sit in the library when it's 75 and sunny.

P.S. I ordered the swedish hasbeens wedges but they are ENORMOUS so I have to return them. The search for the perfect clog continues...

3 questions with an Etsy artist: tutti studio

I always love reading interviews with creative people. But I'm terrible at reading long things online. So I decided to create a new series here which is three (short) questions with an etsy artist.

First up is the wonderful Tutti from tutti studios. If you haven't seen her prints, you must check out her adorable shop. Tutti lives and works in Tel Aviv (cool!)


Forget-me-not print, $25


Swing print, $25

1. How/when did you start drawing?

I can't really tell you how or when, because I've been drawing ever since I can remember. My parents were the best supporters, They always encouraged me to pursue my art and do what I love. My dad still has a doodle I made on a yellow post-it when I was 3 years old, framed in his office - now that's what I call supporting the arts! ;-)

2. What are you finding inspiring right now?

I'm having a bit of a vintage obsession at the moment. So I'm finding all "lost" things inspiring, whether I find them at the flea market, on e-bay or in my grandfathers drawers. I love to make up my own stories for these precious items, who owned them, how were they used and where they went...

3. What's the one thing you can't live without?
That's an easy one. The one thing I can't live without is my amazing supporting husband, who is my best friend and biggest love.

Thank you so much Tutti for being the first in what I hope will be a continuing series here!

Daily Ensemble: census time

Wearing: thrifted dress, repetto ballet flats

It's Census day! I just filled out my form, which took all of 3 seconds and got a sticker and a lollipop for my troubles.

Still absurdly gorgeous here. I'm trying to spend as much time as possible outside but I've also been working on a new feature for y'all, so stay tuned!

P.S. I bought this dress at Salvo a few days ago for $1, my polka dot craving is sated for the moment.

Currently Loving: Chanel tattoos

My Chanel tattoos finally came! They're so adorable, but I was terrified to put the first one on, because I didn't want to mess it up!

I decided to start small with a little bracelet and work up to something bigger, maybe a necklace??

Here's my first attempt:





It's actually two different tattoos, one is the pearl chain and the other is interlocking C's.

Daily Ensemble: spring flowers

It is absolutely gorgeous here so I'm going to go try and soak up as much sun as possible before my show tonight!

I am so in love with this dress, I can't wait until it's warm enough to wear it without tights. I especially love the print, I tried to get a closeup so you could see it more clearly. The leaves are little hearts!
