Noveralls
Sorry all. A family-wide stomach bug that took me out of commission for four whole days has completely derailed my blogulousness and outfit-putting-together abilities for that matter. However, in sickness and in health, I always have my eye out for trends and one in particular that is seriously inspiring me…to vomit…is the sudden and inexplicable…

SAHM Tip #6: Baby Carriers Are Accessories
So I used to call this section of the blog FTM (full-time mom) tips when someone asked me what tips I could possibly have for female-to-male transgenders. And while I think some fabulous MTFs might appreciate some of my fashion tips, I got nothing (but love) for the FTMs, sorry. Hence, I am now going…

Rough Around The Edges
After putting together a few ultra-girly outfits, my inner 16-year-old punk always wants to scramble to the surface. Out came this military-inspired look with some edgy twists.

Beat The Heat

Throwing together your favorite pieces in gold, silver and copper offers a richness that is perfect for winter and the vibrancy that summer requires. Personally, I adore burnt copper since it really suits my skin tone. So I am…

Girls Night Out
The lifeblood to a new mother is indeed the rare and coveted girls night out. Our destination for the evening was a bowling alley, which may sound a little unglamorous but if you think about it, the act of bowling requires a calculated walk that shows off your butt AND if you’re drunk enough those…

FTM Tip #4: You Need Cute Workout Clothes
Sometimes I feel like I’m “puttin’ on” when I put on real workout clothes. I am clearly not an athlete, I don’t have even have a strict workout schedule (obvi since I have an infant), and do brisk walks around Lake Merritt with a jogging stroller even count as an actual workout? I always feel…

Color Crush: Red And Green
Maybe it’s my love for Christmas or maybe it’s just my gut instinct to pair opposing sides of the color wheel, but I love me some red and green. I really try not to make it all yule tide-y by going with more coral reds and not-so-evergreen greens. With this look, however, I really wanted…

Love Won’t Save You From Mistakes
If you follow me on Twitter, you probably noticed a heated argument between me and a follower, who is actually my oldest IRL friend, after I posted a picture of my son, used male pronouns, and called him a “little man.” They asked me how I could gender my child so early. I found myself…
