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. The inspiration of course is this FEED USA tank top from Target. Add a zipper-pocket jean skirt and some leopard booties and I was instantly ready for a…

Beat The Heat
Good god am I ready for this heatwave to be over. My curling iron is collecting dust and honestly, I’m just not a fan of having to shave my legs often enough to show them every damn day. But I was determined not to let the rising temps prevent me from getting properly primped for…

FTM Tip #5: If Nothing Else, Red Lipstick And Sunglasses
If you’ve ever watched What Not To Wear, you probably remember the “five-minute face” part of the makeover.

Personally, I adore burnt copper since it really suits my skin tone. So I am…

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…

FTM Tip #3: Use Dry Shampoo
If you have resisted using dry shampoo thus far, there is no better time than becoming a new mom to knock that shit off. Seriously, dry shampoo was amazing before I had a baby and now it’s a fucking lifeline. More and more women are washing their hair less and less. Washing every day can…
