  • Neon Color Block Shirt + Distressed White Jeans

    By SP on August 21, 2012
    I have a really busy day ahead of me. In addition to work, school starts for the kids in a week and I’m probably the only parent that waits till the last minute to get everything done. It’s a fun rush, though! Get The Look: Color block shirt (gifted/old). Similar in a sleeveless style here. Jeans – Diesel. I distressed [...]

  • DIY Printed Jumpsuit

    By SP on April 12, 2012
    This is not a jumpsuit. They are two separate pieces from H&M. The top is actually a long tunic. Wore it in this post last year, and the pants in this post a year ago. I was in a jumpsuit mood, so the pieces came in handy! Here are some printed jumpsuits to check out: Tribal print here. Black and [...]

  • Off Shoulder Blouse + High Waist Maxi Skirt

    By SP on December 30, 2011
    So I received this top in the mail. It was sent to me by Tiffany Hester, who is the founder of Preface. I was impressed by her story, which I’m certain most of you (who are taller than average) can relate to. Ms. Hester is 6’1′ and has struggled to find fashionable items that fit her tall frame. Especially pants. [...]

  • DIY Off Shoulder Sweater + Mesh and Chiffon Maxi Skirt

    By SP on October 27, 2011
    I have had this JCrew sweater in different colors for ages (back when I lived on the east coast), so when I moved to the west, I really didn’t need all my cold weather pieces (wow, I have been here for almost a decade). It was originally a cute, semi crop turtle neck. I changed it into this 80s off [...]

  • Update: My Accessories Shelf

    By SP on August 21, 2011
    I have to say, I am making progress in my closet. Both clothing & accessories. In the last three weeks, I have been tackling my clothes (still am), and hosted giveaways. Then my brain switched. And went for the accessories. The last time I did a feature on my accessories, err, this is what it looked like. I needed a [...]

  • Do It Yourself Dress

    By SP on August 11, 2011

This is a creation and collaboration by Berber Soepboer and Michiel Schuurman. Soepboer designs clothing which can be worn in different ways, so the wearer can make choices [...]

  • Kimono Shirt + Tribal Wrap Skirt + Floral Platforms

    By SP on July 14, 2011
    In the summer, I tend to wear lots of skirts & maxis. They are not only easy to style, but super comfortable and airy as well. I made this wrap skirt from left over fabrics I bought in Nigeria. Made two in different African prints. My sister-in-law (LindaLu Designs) helped with the second one that I can’t wait to share. [...]

  • Printed Blouse + Vintage Peach Cream Maxi

    By SP on June 28, 2011
    I’m a big fan of wearing my maxi dresses as skirts, or should I say.. creating a whole new look from one piece of clothing. The dress (worn as a skirt) is a vintage piece I’m wearing for the first time. It’s lovely as a dress, and I look forward to wearing it on a date night, perhaps!? It’s another [...]

  • Denim Shirt + DIY Maxi Skirt

    By SP on June 23, 2011
    This is another outfit from San Francisco. Safe to say that moving forward, my outfit posts will not necessary be current. Since I have a four day overlap. This skirt was originally a dress. I wore it as a maternity dress with my last two pregnancies. I love the colors and design at the bottom, so I reconstructed (or deconstructed) [...]

  • Grandpa Cardi + Tribal Top + DIY Shorts

    By SP on June 6, 2011
    Had a late start yesterday. I was a little under the weather. Then we all started feeling cabin fever, so Greg suggested we pack the kids up in the car and go for a long drive. We drove up the coast and ended up at the beach in Malibu – We camped out and had the kids run around and [...]
