SASSTASTIC: J.CREW Kids
Not that I’m an ageist but… it kind of hurts my feelings that these J.Crew kids are so fly. Like, how am I 24 and still trying to figure out how to get dressed every morning? Okay, I get that a stylist totally put their outfits together and they were definitely told to act all sassy/precocious but you get my drift, right? There are some really creative kids out there. And I’m not talking about Tavi. Living in NYC, I see kids all... Read More
Zara, Knee Highs & Middle School Trauma
I had to take a break from blogging this summer. I was feeling uninspired and disenchanted… I enjoy blogging so much more when it doesn’t feel like a job. Because…I have a job, a fashion job, that uses my energy from 8:30-6, five days a week. Factor in sleep time and soccer time and well, there really hasn’t been much time left for the blog. But I can feel Fall, lurking… and I’m totally into it. It helps that... Read More
Childhood is Calling: Stella McCartney x GapKids
When I was younger, I never realized or appreciated the freedom that I had. I only wanted to be older so that I could make my own choices. I had no idea that in some instances, I would have greater restrictions placed upon me. I know not every child is given free reign with their wardrobe but that may have been the one place that my mother actually allowed me autonomy. Looking at home videos with her, she sometimes remarks on how “wild”,... Read More
Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead
One of the best things to happen to me in 1991 was the release of Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead. It’s an epic film starring Christina Applegate as Sue Ellen Crandall, a fashionable teen who has to fake her way into the fashion industry in order to support her 4 siblings while their mother is away on vacation. Trust me when I say all kinds of shenanigans ensue – including a fashion show! In addition to the awesome... Read More
busy wiggin
I really love wearing wigs and playing make-believe. I think it started sometime in early childhood. My mother made sure that I had an extensive collection of “dress-up” clothes – all scavenged from thrift stores or saved by her throughout the years. This included some really choice wigs. This morning, I woke up knowing that I wanted to be a different version of myself. I immediately showered and got dressed in some of my adult “dress-up”... Read More

WILD THINGS
My friends know that I absolutely cherish children’s books. If wouldn’t be misconstrued, I would spend all of my free time curled up on a bean bag chair in children’s section of the library… Instead, I will settle for drooling over Where The Wild Things Are x Opening Ceremony. Spike Jonze, the director of the, soon to be released!, film adaptation of Maurice Sendak‘s Where the Wild Things Are, collaborated with Opening... Read More
