Poppy Pockets
3.18.2023
Spring's almost here :')
I bought some poppies from our local flower seller, which is attached to a 99¢ store.
Jevins' beloved cousin Sai made this vase and gave it to me for my birthday last year. It's my favorite thing to put a few small blooms in every once in a while. I love the way that poppies dance and turn with their carrot-y leaves.

The Story of Our Reunion
2.18.2023

Maybe it’s oversharing, but the story of my reunion with my mom has been one of the most harrowing and important developments in my adult life. Between her hospital discharge and today, I managed to get my mom a cell phone and she has been able to slowly figure it out. It feels like a miracle. She’s amazed and delighted by the ability to send text messages and the chance to keep a tiny camera in her pocket.
I wasn't sure I’d see the day where she would be able to regain and maintain the lucidity I had been grieving was lost for so many years. Her bravery, dignity and joie de vivre is so moving it brings me to tears. She explains she’s an optimist because she “was born in the spring”. On May 10th, heavens willing, we will celebrate her 68th birthday, at last, together.

Catching Up: Wears/Wares
9.03.2022
Observe: 2 years-worth of catching up on the stuff I fill our apartment with and a couple amusing outfits.
Here are some wares\wears
-
Rachel Comey made these flared fishnet pants. I'm pretty sure I have only ever worn them under dresses, especially in the summer when I wanna wear something that feels fall-adjacent but still has sweet, sweet airflow. Here I paired 'em with a Theyskens' Theory dress that I have own two colors.
Know: I loooooooved Theyskens' Theory in college. Between 2010-2014 Olivier Theyskens took the lead designing these über cool, slick and perversely practical city girl-friendly collections under a sub-brand for Theory, and I have a nostalgic thing I can't let go of from clothes from that time. Everything felt sexy and dark.
This dress is actually two pieces: an a-line shift with a wispy/smoky chiffon overlay, PLUS it has a hidden hoodie pocket under the overlay!! I mean!!!
