despite the fact that i was once a pastry chef and had to wake up every morning at like 5am, i have never ever been a morning person. but ever since we set our clocks back last week, i’ve actually been able to wake up “early.” the sun is high up in the sky and if it’s not overcast and gloomy, then it’s pretty much guaranteed that i’ll be out of bed and buzzing around before 8am. this is an incredible feat for a self-proclaimed night person like myself, and it’s making my morning routine much easier for now. sometimes it’s the little things.

halloween came and went. for whatever reason, i didn’t feel compelled to get all dressed up in a silly costume this year, but i still always enjoy the general dark and creepy vibes associated with the holiday. i think it’s a fun ritual to celebrate the macabre as we watch the leaves fall from the trees and welcome the coming winter weather. so i created this slightly less costumey outfit to wear for an evening of night sailing and storytelling.

weekend adventures

weekend away

after being out of town all last week, i decided to take it easy and stay close to home this weekend. but with the beautiful blue skies and crisp fall weather, i found myself dreaming of a weekend away in a rustic cabin overlooking the ocean in some secluded spot along the northern california coast. i put this little look together imagining what i might wear while sitting on my imaginary front deck sipping coffee and looking out at the misty sea before heading out for sunday brunch at the local diner.

i’ve been having a lot of fun putting outfit collages together over on my polyvore lately. i’ve been having fun finding new folks to follow for inspiration as well, so leave me a link to your profile so i can add you!

outfit inspiration

i love pulling together my weekly roundups, but the reality is that they are hardly a weekly feature these days. so i figured i’d keep the feature, but change the name. so here are the outfits that have been inspiring me lately. as always, there is a ton more on my tumblr and pinterest!

above, kater of all this happiness.

we’ve started the slow transition to fall, and i’ve been changing gears and getting used to the idea of wearing layers and curling up on the couch next the space heater to enjoy the great indoors.

trend: mellow yellow

this week, instead of doing my usual weekly roundup, i thought i’d change things up a bit and share some favorite recent photos featuring my favorite color. i’ve always been drawn to rich mustard and yellow hues. the only catch is that i actually have a pretty hard time wearing it myself because it often ends up matching my skin tone a bit more than i’d like… so while i stick to mustard accent pieces, i can sit back and enjoy these inspirational outfits from afar.
