A Few of My Favorite Things: December 2023

Merry (Almost) Christmas, everyone! As we prepare to head into the long holiday weekend, and that weird, limbo-like space of time between Christmas and New Years, and before I share my annual year-end “Wrap-Up” posts next week- I wanted to look back on some of my favorite items/products, purchases and gifts from this past month!

OOTD: Houndstooth for the Holidays…

When preparing to attend this past weekend’s Victorian Stroll in Troy, New York with Dan and his parents, and after looking through my closet and storage, I realized I don’t actually own any Victorian-era-inspired pieces (any corsets I possess are not exactly Winter wear!) and so I opted for the next best thing- something that […]

OOTD: Merry, Merry…

There’s a quote I’ve seen/heard making the rounds on social media as of late, and I think it applies to me perfectly this time of year: “In September, you’re a Fall girl, and then October, a Halloween girl.

Much to my surprise […]

OOTD: Festive Frock

Wearing red and green, even around the holidays- can often be a risky fashion move given that the color combination walks a thin line between festive and chic and “ugly Christmas sweater” territory. It’s one of the main reasons I mix things like red and gold or green and silver, instead- so I can feel […]

OOTD: Euphoria-Inspired…

When it comes to the show “Euphoria,” I’ve only ever seen sporadic clips- despite many of my friends being absolutely obsessed with it. What I’ve gathered thus far is that Nate Jacobs is the worst and Cassie Howard deserved the slap-down she recently received in an episode/season finale (?) I feel like every generation needs […]

OOTD: The Sweetheart Sweater

Hello from your favorite amateur style photographer! While Dan continues to recover from COVID-19, I thought I’d share some less-than-professional-looking selfies of a new addition to my closet that I picked up during my most recent outing to Plum. Valentine’s Day might be over and in the books, and Spring may not start in another […]
