Haute mess.
I vaguely recall a time in my life when the word “run” was associated with other words like “beer,” “pot” and “Ben & Jerry’s.” Now my 10 pm emergency trips to the grocery store all about about diapers and wipes. And during one of my last mad diaper dashes, I spotted THIS: This printed, plastic…

So happy toGOTHer.
It started with a lipstick. A ColourPop matte Lippie Stix in Creature that has inspired me to play with my entire makeup look. From there, goth-infused fabulousness happened. A ghoulish, smokey green eye, a camel maxi skirt and a bondage-tastic gladiator sandal took even my normal edge levels up a notch and I think the…

Patch it up, patch it in.
Word to your mom. This peplum is the bomb. Don’t have the energy to rewrite the whole song, but you get the idea. Patch jeans and dramatic, hi-lo peplum top all brought to you by Simply Be. Perfection. I originally wanted the jeans to be ultra fitted and skinny, but the boyfriend cut really suits…

Beach, please.
Dunes Beach in Half Moon Bay was absolute paradise last weekend, a perfect opportunity for a #dropthetowel photo shoot. This body positive campaign by Wear Your Voice is all about coming out, being seen and being comfortable in your skin while baring it. After all, it’s hot out there. Let those curves breathe. Photoshoot and…

Blush and bashful.
Muh colors are blush and bashful. Oh Shelby from Steel Magnolias. One of my first style icons. And what is more dreamy than a big pink skirt like this little baby from Eloquii? I remember the first skirt I ever wore as an adult was pink because I figured if I was going to “woman”…

Crop it like it’s hot.
This outfit couldn’t have come at a more perfect time, what with the whole O Magazine body shaming snafu. And from a man? Seriously, editors? You thought it might be a good idea to let someone tell us what NOT to wear AND that someone should have a dick, too? GIRL BYE. I have come…

We all live in a yellow circle skirt.
I’ve had this t-shirt for years, cut the neck off long ago but it SOMEHOW didn’t occur to me to turn this fucker into a crop top right quick to pull off one of my favorite style combos: rock tee/jeweled necklace/skirt YASSNESS. Twirling is the new twerking. Come correct. Also LOOK AT THESE GLASSESSSSSS JUST…

Fierce Food: Butternut Squash and Spinach Mac and Cheese
My buddy Jimmy, who is a culinary genius in training and my son’s Godfather, and I were JUST talking about all these douchey food blogs where there is an insane amount of fluff in each post that you have to scroll through before you get to the actual fucking recipe and I’m about to commit…

Romp and circumstance.
Happy Hour with coworkers usually turns into Happy Wee Hours of the Morning so I usually dress with comfort in mind. And, to my credit, I got this outfit half right with Sofft sandals that are just plain like walking on fluffy bunnies and this gorgeous lace romper from Eloquii, which allowed me to cross…

Mermadness.
Hello, Year Two of Bikini Wearing. We’re taking this mermaid shit up a notch. Now, I’ve got a thing for lime. It might be my favorite of the brights. And don’t get me wrong, EVERY SINGLE ONE of Gabi Fresh’s bikinis for SwimsuitsForAll is, in no uncertain terms, amazing and I want them all. But…
Got any book recommendations?
